This was our second stay at LesCarmes after we first came about fourteen years ago, the year current owner bought the place. We found the facilities virtually the same - charming, stately equipped with antiques furniture, joly and helpful host Pascal and overall very pleasant atmosphere. Breakfasts were simple, modest and somewhat lacked variety within the week but individual items were otherwise high quality and we were given more if we asked. Unlike at our first stay, this time our (different) room did not have a fridge but we were offered an outside unit to store what we needed. At this location a car is a must as there are basically no walking paths in the vicinity. However with a car there are plenty of interesting locations to visit and Pascal made always sure that we had a printed itinerary for each day.

From the moment we arrived, the hospitality at Les Carmes was exceptional. Pascal, the host, is not only welcoming but also incredibly knowledgeable and worldly! I'm certain he has traveled to one of the countries we call home. His warmth and generosity were evident when he upgraded our room at no extra cost. The hotel itself is cozy and elegant, radiating the charm of a bourgeois family estate. Surrounded by apple orchards, it offers a serene and authentic Provençal experience. The attention to detail extends to the rooms, with a supremely comfortable mattress, perfect water pressure in the shower, and an inviting warmth that made our stay all the more pleasant. Pascal went above and beyond by personally booking our table at Renaud Mets in L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, where we had an unforgettable meal! Every dish felt like a piece of heaven. Back at the hotel, the breakfast and dining experience were equally exquisite. Though I didn’t have time to try the spa, everything else about Les Carmes made it a truly special place to stay in the South of France. It’s an ideal retreat to experience the region’s culture, hospitality, and culinary excellence! Plus, it’s conveniently close to Aix-en-Provence. A wonderful destination, and one I’d gladly return to.

Thank you Pascal and Minna for your warm and friendly hospitality. We stayed for 3 nights and everything was just perfect. A super continental breakfast served to your table, perfect start to the day! Everything about the domaine is just relaxing and no stress, which makes it an even more remarkable and romantic place. The gardens are wonderful and very well kept! The spa privative, a plus to our stay. The Carmes is a perfect place to visit Provence, close to all the charming villages and still in the heart of a beautiful domaine. Thanks again pascal and Minna for a wonderful stay ! Looking forward to seeing you again soon and continue the great work. Your Irish girl Cliona

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome and pampered. The property is nestled back off the road surrounded by beautiful landscaping. There is a heated pool which we enjoyed our first night, as weak as yard games such as chess and croquet. It was relaxing and peaceful. At night the guests are welcomed to have a happy hour and get to know one another, which we really enjoyed. Both nights there were totally different groups. Paschal, the owner, l was so friendly and hospitable. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Nothing. It was great! Best shower we have had in Europe!

Absolutely everything - the design of the place, starting with the driveway, to the interior, to the back yard, breakfast place, pool, the games available (darts, petanque), the spa, the Apero every evening etc. It is close to many beautiful villages and places to visit and Pascal offers great guidance for it, taillored to the desires of each person Pascal is an amazing host and it is great to see how much passion he puts into what he does, he brings people together, which nowadays is something big. Chapeau!

Nothing to say, really

Where do I begin? Pascal and his team have made our trip to Le Thor one we will never forget. What a great host and absolutely the prime location if you want to experience the countryside of France. The rooms are huge and cozy, they feel like royalty rooms. The breakfast included was amazing: fruits, yogurt, bread, etc. Definitely worth it to pay extra for the spa - it just adds so much to the overall experience. Lastly, Pascal made sure we had the best stay - we didn’t have a car so he helped arrange for our cabs and restaurants. We feel very nostalgic looking back at our stay. If there is an accommodation that has set a high standard for us - it is Les Carmes. <3

Nothing.

A very beautiful house with a very welcoming and caring host. Pascal is a very warm and cordial host who made us feel at home. The kids just loved him. We loved the size of the room, the very tasty breakfast, the pool, the garden and also the fitness area. The rooms all have a very cosy feeling and are decorated with love for detail. Pascal had great tips for excursion in the area and the aperitif at 7pm was a great way to have a nice chat! We spent perfect days. Merci Pascal! Les princesses allemandes

This is a stunning Provencal property. Beautifully appointed and with lovely gardens. Our room was huge, comfy bed and lovely bathroom. So quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was delicious. Pascal the owner is wonderful, attentive, warm hearted and welcoming. There is no food during the low season but the local town has places to eat. We would love to come back in the summer months and enjoy the pool and spa.

Nothing at all

The place is fabulous. Sixteenth century Abby that produced wine for the Pope in Avignon. But what we remember most is the energy and hospitality of Pascal, the owner and host who is 110% focussed on you having a great time. On the day of our departure, he insisted we eat breakfast early well before his normal hours -- he made, served it and helped us with our luggage. Room was large and had a separate sitting area. Facilities have lots of things to explore. You do need a car but that said, this place is well positioned for day trips to the Luberon and Cotes du Rhone.

Nothing

This was one of the best places we have stayed in Europe in many years. The host, Pascal, was exceptionally kind and helpful. The property was very special and had a gym, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. The location was an easy drive to many towns in Provence and only 5kms from L'Isle sur la Sorgue. We hope we can stay there again one day.

Breakfast could have included eggs for free.
