Village Pierre & Vacances - Pont Royal en Provence

The property is within the golf field and facility of Pont-Royal in a great location with all the needed services. The room is fully equipped (except for the hair dryer which is however available upon request). The two pools are well maintained and accessible. Only thing is that the pool closes 14 minutes before the scheduled time.

Good place for children, nice pool area, playground,friendly helpful staff

The overall site is good. However it doesn’t say that when we went 26th isn’t in season. Pool bar and restaurant was closed and only 2 of the available restaurants were open. Also only during certain times - not all day. One day we couldn’t get lunch anywhere as there was some kind of function going on. Only one shop is open and that is also for a couple of hours in the morning and afternoon. We also wasn’t told that you need a car!!!!!

Good news: the property and surrounding setting is beautiful. Your accommodation is a small apartment rather than a hotel room. The bedroom is separate. If, like us, you wanted to visit several spots in western Provence without changing rooms, this did serve us well. But be aware that everyplace from Aix-en-Provence to Avignon is 30 to 50 km away. I am a golfer, but did not try to use the course. But it looked beautiful as we drove in. Finally, the price was really reasonable. Bad news: if you are not French speaking, it is hard to find your way around the property, and the staff did not provide very much information to help. By the way, the parking “village” is actually an 8 story garage. This was not explained to us at time of check-in. Property is not air-conditioned. We visited from 8 September through 15 September, so we needed to keep bedroom window and sliding door in living room open in order to stay cool. The problem is that neighbors in other apartments, some of which are owned, seemed to enjoy having up to 10 people sitting on their patios until at least 3 a.m. talking loudly with no concern for neighbors, making it difficult for us to sleep. We tried to get help for this problem but were not able to get any response from the facility. We were given a number to call security (English speaking) but only got a French recording and a hang-up. On the final night of our visit our wifi would not work. I had to go to reception for new codes. By the way, the free wifi
