Moulin de la Camandoule

A charming former olive mill converted into an equally adorable country hotel, each one of La Camadoule’s flower-covered guestrooms, suites, and apartments is unique. Yet all feature period furniture and oh-so-pretty Provençal fabrics. Passers-by should make a pit stop at the hotel’s fabulous l’Escourtin restaurant. Try Provençal bourride seafood stew or slow-braised spring lamb on the restaurant’s 21.50€ lunch menu, or higher-end fare at dinner. The best insider’s tip is the hotel’s massive poolside dining option, open to non-guests during June, July, and August. It’s guaranteed to relax tired bodies en-route to the Gorges du Verdon.
