Fodor's Review:

The cicadas live better than most humans at this picture-perfect 18th-century estate overlooking the Estéva, once home of an industrialist who hosted Kennedys and Rolling Stones. Now the domain of celebrated chef Jacques Chibois, it welcomes you with old stone walls, shaded walkways, an enormous pool, and a mouthwatering ocher-hue and blue-shutter mansion draped with red trumpet-flower begonia and purple bougainvillea. The guest rooms glossily mix Louis Seize-style chairs, Provençal embroidered bedspreads, and high-tech delights (massaging showers). Although the restaurant is excellent (try the extraordinary truffle, cream, and foie gras soup) and expensive (lobster with a black-olive fondue and beet juice will run you EUR 60), lunch here is a bargain at EUR 53.

Reviewed by monrutu from New York on 8/20/08
It's surprising to me that Fodor's could recommend this hotel. It has many of the qualities critical for a bad French vacation; surly staff, overrated food and overpriced wine. This is a destination resort for old people on oxygen with platinum credit cards in need of flexing. The staff do nothing to disappoint. There are so many wonderful restaurants and hotels in 21st century France but alas this is not one of them.
