Nice stay, especially if you have a dog.

Swimming pool great, wellness/spa area good (but you have to book to be able to use it), great for dogs.

Limited food service, including available of snacks / ice cream in the afternoon. You could hear guests in the corridor or late at night talking through the windows.

The leopard is in the cage, but the cage is painted on the outside.

I like what I expected of this place, of the experience and of the service, based on the reputation of L’Occitane brand, of the Relais Chateaux and based on the excesive price.

Written welcome note with name of the guest. Welcome message displayed on the TV screen with the name of the guest. Boiled eggs or omlette included in the price of breakfast. Unlimited time use of spa on the day of the departure Complimentary slippers for in room use ( not the flip flops for the spa) Bottle of water offered at check out. Box of complimentary local sweets offered upon departure. Free use of towels in the spa-more than one per guest Warm thermal water in the thermal water pool. Discreet and efficient and polite service of the staff. Efficiency and willingness to solve matters and descalate situations. Good maintanance of the gardens and planted areas, well irigated. Aromatic/ medicinal herbs with descriptions tablets in the potagers. Information regarding the history of the name of the stared restaurant. Offered L’Occitane cream for each of the guest and each of the days of stay at evening service. All these are meant to be read as reversed, just add a not, no, any etc All of these are standard in many luxury hotels, 5 star hotels and Relais Chateaux affiliated hotels.

Shame about the smell

The staff were helpful and the outside area for eating and relaxing was lovely. Lots of seating and shade and the pool was also very nice. We enjoyed the petanque court too.

Our room was a junior suite. The bathroom was large and spacious but smelt very damp and unpleasant and had no window. The shower was over the bath and the shower head hooked up at the end of the bath, which was surrounded by large tiles. This meant the water did not go far into the bath so you had to lean towards the water flow, which was dangerous as the bath was slippery. A decent shower would have been great and I am sure the bath was not sealed properly which meant the water leaked behind it and caused the damp. I did not expect this poor standard at this price.

10.0 / 10.0

Amazing charme, full of history and delight.

We had an amazing stay at La Magdeleine. Its charming ambiance was truly fantastic, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The comfort level was perfect, from the plush beds to the cozy seating areas. What we liked most is the property’s rich history. It struck a perfect balance, offering a glimpse into the past without overwhelming guests with ostentation. Great staff, attentive all the time. An amazing setting for diner and superbe breakfast. A great discovery - certainly a top 10 in our list of worldwide hotels (and the list is long !)

Nothing !!

Wonderful classy property with service to match

Attentive staff, food options especially the good to have Michelin star restaurant, room was clean and classy, the view from the room overlooking the gardens, the pool, organisation of various evening time activities like a movie in the garden..we were with a kid and felt extremely welcomed and well taken care off…

Nothing but perhaps the bath tub and no standing shower options but I guess this forced me to enjoy the bath as I must on a holiday!

A very relaxing and comfprtable stay in a beautiful setting

The house is beautiful: I hadn't expected it to be as old as the eighteenth century, and the grounds are stunning. Away from the house itself, the staff were friendly and always happy to help with any queries.

The breakfast was really good on all counts: however I think the dinner menu could be a bit more varied , and allow more choice away from the Nouvelle Cuisine.

5.0 / 10.0

Poor service in a hotel with a lot of charm

The facility is very nice, there were ice cubes and refrigerators at the pool bar which we used (just ourselves). Bed was very comfortable. Quality of breakfast. Every morning a small dessert and fruit salad is served.

Unfortunately, we spent our honeymoon in this hotel. In advance, it may be necessary to mention: We are very friendly guests and usually have very nice vacations as we are very friendly, open-minded people who get along well with everyone. The hotel is visually very beautiful and I mean also listed, it has an incredible amount of charm. Which has advantages and disadvantages. We think in France the service is generally rather poor. But in this hotel it is virtually non-existent. We don't know if it was because we are German or english-speaking, but every day we had the impression that we were not noticed, but all the other French guests were. We were rarely asked in the morning if we wanted eggs. The waitress simply did not listen to us when we ordered something. So she brought wrong things every day (wrong Coffee, wrong eggs etc.) At check in, NO word was spoken to us after an 8 hour journey. We were silently given a key and then had to carry our luggage to the third floor without an elevator. It was just the whole staff standing around and gossiping. When they are not chatting they are busy pretending to be working on something. This was extremely noticeable to us. The employees had a kind of meeting place in the courtyard of the hotel and there often loudly gossiped and laughed until 02:00 at night. However, since the windows in the building are very old, you can hear every word. The breakfast is rather average for a 4 star hotel. Very sweet and rather little hearty. Quality is ok for france. Unfortunately little choice. To our misfortune, the WiFi/WLAN of the hotel is down for 3 days and so we could not even watch Netflix or surf the Internet while it was raining. There was no reason or information on demand what is done that it runs again. It was simply the statement: No, the Wi-Fi does not work. Sorry. That was it. The employees in the hotel are so unprofessional that I have never experienced.

Appaling customer service and care, poorly advertised “features” . avoid at all costs

there is potential for this property to be outstanding, but the extremely rude and hostile staff take any positive experience away.

do not expect a decent night sleep as AC is controlled centrally and is not switched on for spring, despite days over 26*C. it is advised to sleep with the windows open instead. Air Conditioning is not turned on despite being advertised Views are not as described, despite advertising “all rooms with a view of the terrace and gardens”, the picture below shows that actually the view from room 201 is of a neighbours balcony and backyard with a trampoline and the Staff smoking area. The hotel staff caused hostility and friction over a small issue regarding the AC. I expect from hotels with Michelin stars to be able to resolve minor customer complaints in a professional manner. there are significant cracks in the marble shower floor the pool is very dated and tired the hot tub is broken and according to other reviews, has been for some time

Very good

We had a lovely stay at La Magdeleine! We loved sitting outside with a bottle of wine, or just read a book. The room was clean and spacious, doors and windows are hard to open and close becasue its a old house. But overall great! Breakfast was good!

The hotel is about half an hour drive from Cassis, Marseille and Aix.. But there's nothing much to do around, so plan your stay, especially if you are not eating in the hotel's restaurant!

This place is a dream in Provence and the pistou soup is worth the trip.

The property and restaurants were just amazing. So relaxing.

the rooms get warm when it’s 95 degrees F outside but during most months this is likely not an issue.

The property is beautiful, the room was huge and super confortable. The bathroom was almost the room size.. amazing

It’s a bit far from Cassis or other areas. You definitely need to drive and have sufficient time to move around if you want to do more than staying at the hotel

Loved the setting, fantastic staff and setting, food excellent, nothing too much trouble. Rooms were very Provençal and generally comfortable.

Very poor air conditioning in our room and pillows that I think could be better. Pool area a touch tired with a jacuzzi that didn’t work for example, but really that’s all.
