We had organized a family reunion there (wedding) of around 20 people and were thrilled at the idea of spending time. At the end of the week-end, we had enjoyed a true unique time and timeless experience that "outperformed" our expectations. Both the location, the rooms and private house we had booked (La Guigou) and above all the gourmet meal... more

All was great here until checkout, when the desk staff first insisted on charging me for a package I had already paid for in advance, and then insisted on adding breakfast charges that the payment had already covered. After I dug out the emails and produced the web-based itinerary, they finally relented. The attitude that the customer is wrong is... more

I was online today and I have to say - very confused about the reviews that I saw. I have stayed at Oustau this summer and the food was amazing, the rooms spectacular and the staff a joy. Perhaps people are expecting a Marriott type of clean and shiny hotel where everything is the same and you know what you... more

My previous stay at legendary Oustau de Baumaniere was back 8 years ago. My partner and I are just back from a 2-night cebration stay. Reading some of the previous reviews, I wondered if they all regarded the same place. Travelling in luxury hotels is my thing. This place is certainly not the most modern, the most luxurious, the hippest,... more

This legendary hotel and restaurant does not live up to its reputation. The grounds of the hotel are extremely pleasant with an amazing view of Les Baux, the ancient town situated above. My room in the main building was decent, nothing special given the price. The bathroom, on the other hand, was extremely luxurious -- the best I've ever had... more

I would warn people to be very careful when booking this hotel. We booked thro expedia and when we arrived we were shown to a house about half a mile away from the hotel which we were told was our accomadation. We appeared to be the ony guests in this house. I protested and we came back to the hotel... more

I was booked in one of the annexes. I attached pictures of our room. . . you judge for yourself if this looks like a world class hotel. You had to call the main hotel and wait for a driver to come and get you if you needed anything. Was quite far away. main hotel looked lovely, but the experience... more

I spent last summer at Ousteau for a week long stay with my family. It couldn't have been a nicer stay. The staff was amazingly pleasent, the grounds were gorgeous and the food was amazing. The combination of Sylveste Wahid and his brother Jonathan in the kitchen made for some amazing meals. I wouldn't just recommend this hotel, I would... more

My wife and I just returned from a 3 day stay at l’Oustau. I have read conflicting reports on this Site and wanted to share my own experience. I believe ones’ views are closely related to ones’ expectations. For me having lived in the South of France for over 30 years l’Oustau was a magical place : very expensive but... more
