Hôtel Le Colombier

Location - just outside center of town which means lots of space, parking, and views but an easy walk to scores of restaurants, shops, etc. Accommodation - very tasteful Provencal decorated room with every convenience. Ours gave out to a private patio overlooking a large lawn with views. Excellent breakfast - a very full selection of high quality pastries, coffee, jams, eggs, etc. Friendly and knowledgeable owners - can advise on everything, from hiking trails, restaurants, nearby villages. etc. Beautiful grounds - we were there too early to take full advantage of the terrace, spa, tennis courts, etc. but could see how lovely it would be in warmer weather

We had a wonderful time at this place. Room space was rather on the small size was had a ground-level terrace for late dinner. Generous staff offered to microwave my food from outside. He also provided plates, forks, and knives. Breakfast was perfect Not a noise of cars and motor bikes can be heard as the town itself is dead-quiet in the night time. Big parking space at the back and the main gates are closed after 9PM so very secure. The good old Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is just walking distance. But the roads are very dark and uneven for walking. Prepare your smart phone. Had wonderful time walking around the old town after 9PM. Not many souls can be seen there. If you can enjoy the tranquility of ancient town please visit after dark. We went there for kayaking at the Gorges de Verdon. It is just 10 min away.

Moustiers St Marie is beautiful perched in the rocks. But it is not very user friendly as there are steep hills and parking is limited. That's the great advantage of La Colombier which is located outside of town near the last entrance to the town and it has its own parking. The rooms are on the small side with tiny balconies but there is a lovely pool and spa,the owners are very friendly and it is fairly priced.

Love, love, love this hotel! Everything about it was wonderful. We were sad to only stay one night. Will definitely be back one day.

We chose this hotel because of its proximity to the town, on-site parking, and mainly because they have a tennis court. We bring our gear and play wherever we can which helps us get exercise as we eat the delicious food in France and Italy. The superior room was on the small side, but it came with a small balcony, which helped. For two nights we could live with the small room. Bathroom in room was nice with drawers in the vanity. I appreciated the second mirror in the bedroom and KLEENEX…which doesn’t seem to exist in all European hotels! They really could give us glasses, though, rather than paper cups in the room. No coffee maker and we could not get coffee from them until breakfast was served at 8:00. When we inquired about driving into town to get coffee perhaps at a cafe which opened early, he was not helpful about any place that was open early. When this has happened in the past, all other hotels were able to give us coffee as they were sitting up the breakfast service (perhaps 30-45 minutes before service began), but this hotel was not accommodating. What put us off the most was the unfriendliness of the staff. We travel to Europe annually and are used to staying in bed and breakfasts and boutique hotels. The staff here was one of the unfriendliest. I assume it was the owner who checked us in…..I’m not sure as he never i traduced himself, nor did he ask us our names, etc, upon arrival. They put all info in digital form and when I asked a question about the pool, I was told to check the online booklet. We played tennis, and then court (no net strap) is aligned incorrectly, so one person has to look directly into the sun. We could live with that, but the pebbles all over the court made us be wary about chasing down balls. After playing one day, we asked the owner (we think) if he had a broom we could use on the court (so we could sweep away some of the pebbles). All he said was “no, sorry,”. There never was a question about why we would even want a broom! When we checked out today, I brought the key to the desk, where both owners were sitting. I handed the keys to one of them, and all he said to me was, “did you take anything from the mini-bar?” When I replied, no, he said ok. What ever happened to a host saying ,”how was your stay? Did you have a nice time?”These owners clearly didn’t want our business and maybe are so tired of tourists, that they don’t care if we return or not. We had stayed in a small family run hotel in Cadaques last week, where the owners did everything possible to welcome us and make our stay comfortable. The stay at Les Colombier w@s the opposite….but that’s fine, we won’t stay here again.

The Chudziks greeted us warmly. We were able to unload our bags in front, then park in the rear of the hotel. We got the corner room upstairs with scenic views, overlooking the pool, where we’d stayed once before. The room was bright and simply, but tastefully decorated, and the bath was nicely appointed. Our bed and pillows were very comfortable. We enjoyed their reasonably-priced aperitifs out on their spacious terrace. It's a pleasant walk into Moustiers for lunch, dinner, and/or sight-seeing. Their pre-covid buffet has been replaced by breakfast served at our table, very elegantly, with nearly everything, incl. eggs to order. We've returned many times, and highly recommend.

Clean. Welcoming a**osphere in a wonderful setting. Remarkable value. Would highly recommend as a great option when visiting the region

A charming hotel with a beautiful view and a very friendly and serviceminded staff. A place to relax and lower your shoulders. Close to the village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie. Make a village visit at night to see the cliffs which are so beautifully illuminated.

We spent two nights at Le Colombier, a fine, clean and neat hotel located in a lovely setting at the entrance of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie coming from Les Gorges du Verdon. The hotel is well and carefully maintained and operated by the owner family with great commi**ent and dedication. The service is very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast excellent, very tasty. Spacious parking area, very convenient. The hotel can be highly and unreservedly recommended.
