Hotel du Castellet - 5 Etoiles - Var

This is a real treat if you are going to Paul Ricard. The food is spectacular and the vies of the rooms amazing. It has a fantastic pool and Spa. A hear its great for golf players as well.

Spent a night at the hotel whilst in the area on business and what a wonderful experience it was. Certainly a paradise to escape to for a few days R&R. Probably the little things that make the biggest difference, the imposing entrance through the gates and welcome from the staff, the welcome card and mini blender in your minibar with fresh berries etc. was a particularly welcome touch. The recently 3 starred restaurant is closed Monday and Tuesday, but the Sans Felice restaurant was excellent and the service good despite being very busy, including a very large family party. Had it been slow, there is always the amazing view across the valley towards the coast and village of Castellet to admire. Breakfast was equally enjoyable. Personally, I would have liked a desk to be able to work from in the room, however as it was June, the weather perfect (for a Brit!), the room terrace was a great place to work from as you can see. Recommend having a car if more than one night.

Ok we loved the lemon cake and the spaghetti bolognese but that was it… we really were disappointed by the room which were very overpriced, old, not well maintained, it was missing a frame, they were stains, the view was horrible.. and nearby the road which was doing a lot of constant noise. they put us in a room that communicates with another and the soundproof Is horrible we even could hear the guy next door using his spoon in his cafe and they were not noisy neighbor but we could hear them talk drink and eat… they wake us up in the morning only talking normally… for The indecent price we paid this is just unacceptable… and we had to complain in order to change the room and they finally put us in the main building and the soundproof was much better, view was much better… I don’t understand why we had to complain in order to be located in this room which was the same category… our first night was totally ruined and even the second room was too expensive for the value. Everything was way too much overvalue especially the food… it was covid and we only could have in room dining, I don’t doubt the Michelin star is great but excuse me 50 euros for a club sandwich it is just crazy… and for 50 euros you only have two little sandwich where usually in 5 star hotels they give you at least 4 pieces… ok they were good but it was not a Michelin star sandwich… it was just a good one… Even by the pool you hear a lot the tracks which is really annoying Propriety is beautiful, pool is nice although cold… If you have tons of money and are passionate by tracks this may place otherwise don’t go there

A blissful address, a beautiful view. Enjoy the peace and nature to the fullest. Delicious breakfast, good food. In short, worth repeating. Visit Cassis, a village nearby. A green nature area with playing facilities for the children.

A resort-style hotel with exceptional grounds. Our suite was overly large for 2 persons but was comfortable, with high standards of housekeeping. Service from first to last was excellent, very warm and professional. Dinner in the main restaurant was outstanding in creativity, attention to detail and execution. Dinner in the bistro was not special. Buffet breakfast is lavish and justifies €45 charge, however the same price should not have been charged for just a few items requested for room-service breakfast. Overall, an excellent hotel experience made really special by every member of staff. Bravo! Visitors should not miss the Bandol coast and countryside with glorious bays and wineries.

Absolutely perfect weekend. All staff were extremely helpful from the reception to the porters/ drivers etc. We were driven back and forth to the circuit many times and always felt like VIPs when we arrived in the paddock. We will definitely stay here again. Top quality 5* service at all times.
