Le Mas de Valrugues

Travelling through Provence, we had planned for and paid for two night stay here here. This was intended to be an “extended break” as we had been on the road a few days. The place was nothing like the brochure. Clean bedding, tick, but that’s about where it ended. I had to go into town to buy my own cups (this was a catered room, apparently) not to mention no dirt bins other than the garbage can outside. .. the list goes on believe me! It was pretty bad. We could only manage one night and headed off early the next morning to find alternative a accommodation. Only good thing was the guy at the front desk...

Well located and very good for families. We had a lovely balcony and the room was comfortable. As a family of five it worked well there was a pull out bed under the sofa. Well stocked kitchen. Friendly staff. Would have given 5 stars, but the check out is 10am (although you can stay by the pool as long as you want after check out) and they do not give pool towels.

We arrived after a hot day's travelling only to find that checkin could not take place until 4pm. But we left the car in the carpark and walked into town. By the time we walked back we were extremely hot and tired, so a very quick checkin and into the pool, which was wonderful. The apartment was very good. The bedroom is quite compact but the bed was very good for us (I am 196cm tall), and firm but comfortable. The bathroom was excellent, the pressure and temperature of the shower was great and the shower had plenty of room. The living area was also good, with a sofa, a dining table and chairs, and a well-equipped kitchen. There is also a generous balcony with a table and chairs and a pleasant view. Our two hosts were very affable and helpful. It was exceptionally quiet. We had a very pleasant stay
