We both really enjoyed our stay at the Abbaye de Sainte Croix. As others have already explained, the location and the views were genuinely exceptional. Our room was clean, simple and very quiet – parfait. We had dinner on the terrace overlooking Salon de Provence. I had high expectations, given the menu and the chef's reputation, but was blown away by the quality of the ingredients, flavours and presentation. It really was fine dining.

Two small things: I thought the waiting staff were a bit young and inexperienced. Such fine food should have been served by slightly more experienced staff. That said, our waiter was pleasant and helpful. The only other negative was that pretty much all of the pot plants throughout the entire hotel were dead. The weeds seemed to be doing fine, but the whole experience would have been so much more enjoyable had there been beautiful pot plants. Also, it's a bit tacky having plastic plants on the table when such exceptional food is/was being served.

Amazing converted Abbey, spectacular views across the valley, our room was large with a huge terrace out front and another on the roof. The interior was original brick with narrow stairways and big windows and doors. Definitely an experience. Staff were really helpful, especially calling Hertz when our TGV was over an hour late and their office was closing. Restaurant was very nice and the food was excellent. A great place to use as a base to explore Provence.

Some cushions on the outdoor chairs would have been nice, it was a bit wet so maybe they didn’t want to put them out, but we sat outside quite a bit, plus something to sit on on the roof terrace too.

Absolutely stunning historic and authentic place and best service we ever got in France! Amazing location with a best terrace with a view from the hill on the whole Provence, great breakfasts and dinners on that terrace, great swimming pool, big and comfortable parking, but the best highlight - people! Everyone is super helpful, polite, doing their best to make your stay as pleasant as possible. And restaurant probably very close if not to a star, but to be mentioned in the guide! We bought wine from one of the vineyards but never had a chance to open it so they easily agreed to serve it to us during dinner - we were very surprised they did as they had all the rights to say no!

We had a clogged bathroom but even here can’t complain-was solved in 15 minutes! I’d say it’s one more “thing to like” rather than a problem

. It was a beautiful Abbey, really neat building and I imagine interesting, varying rooms and the view from the main area was lovely. The breakfast was really nice, more than the basic baguette and croissant. Overall very nice stay,peaceful place away from the city.

We stayed in the lowest level room, It was nice, and we had a door onto the grounds, but it seemed thing were still being prepared for spring so it was not totally cleaned up. We also had ants in our room, but they came and dealt with it. The pool was not open yet, and that was not noted on booking.com so that was dissapointing, as well the room descriptions were not very clear, I would have liked to know more of what the next level of room would have been or how to have a room with a better view, etc. I had received a message from booking.com saying the room did not have a bathroom, which was not accurate. I asked about upgrading the room, but did not to seem to understand my inquiry.

I simply loved everything about this property- location, views, architecture, staff, facilities - you name it! Communication was great before arrival and during our stay ! Every time we were greeted with lovely smiles and utterly helpful people. The rooms are spacious and well equipped, the pool area is amazing- water clean and views are spectacular. Location is secluded and there’s a nice calm vibe about this property. I would love to return and stay longer. Can’t comment on the food/ prices since we didn’t get to try their menus! - short stay! Thanks everyone!

Some bits and bobs could be reviewed and updated, particularly in the bathrooms but the overall experience out passes the pitfalls !

The property was stunning, it is an old abbey, it was picturesque and exactly what we expect when coming to the South of France. Restaurant was great, and the location is 10min max by car from Salon de Provence city center :-) We were travelling with our 21 months old baby and we received a little towel for her + little baby-friendly bath products, so nice!

Perhaps missing some tapas and aperitives on the menu of the restaurant.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The situation is incredible. Breakfast was excellent. The view from the terrace was breathtaking. The bed was super, and I like that there is no stress about housekeeping. The decoration was tasteful, and you can tell a lot of love went into the renovation.

The road. Leading up to the hotel is a 500m long goat path full of potholes. Not the best for a normal car - luckily we had a raised hatchback. If you meet someone coming the opposite way - good luck. The bathrooms could use an update.

Hilarious place on the hill above Salone de Provence. Beautiful views and sunset. The place is very comfortable and offers a high quality of service. We stopped only for 1 night on our way to Spain. But we would like to come back for a longer stay. The restaurant was great, the breakfast was great. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. And the surrounding very quite. We slept well

I can not say anything negative about this place. It is superb. Highly recommend to visit.

Beautiful place! The view from the terrace was breathtaking. Everything was clean and organised! The staff were attentive and kind. We loved our stay!

There could be more dining options in the restaurant. We had dinner one night and found the food too heavy for all the nights (we stayed for a week). It would be nice to have salad options or other lighter food on the menu.

We had a lovely and beautifully-appointed room overlooking the valley below. The friendly staff gave us a warm welcome and helped us with a dinner recommendation when we arrived. Breakfast was a little expensive but there was plenty on offer. We really enjoyed our stay - the location was the highlight.

We probably would have preferred to eat at the Abbaye rather than go into Salon de Provence but there was only a very formal dinner option available in-house. The pool was not open although it was advertised as open.
