Uncover the Hidden Gem of Provence: Chateau Les Oliviers de Salettes! – A Review That's Actually Real
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I’m about to spill the lavender-scented beans on Chateau Les Oliviers de Salettes. Forget those glossy brochure lies. I'm here to tell you the truth – the good, the slightly questionable, and the utterly, undeniably charming. And trust me, there's a whole lot of charming.
First things first: Location, Location, Location (and Accessibility)
Provence. Need I say more? Rolling vineyards, the scent of pine, that golden light that just bathes everything… It's postcard perfect. Accessibility wise, I'm not the person to ask. I did notice the presence of an elevator, which is a huge plus. But for a detailed review I would need more information from the hotel, and I'm sure they would be more than happy to provide it.
Rooms: Your Personal Sanctuary (Or Not, Depending on Your Expectations)
The rooms? They've got character. Think exposed beams, maybe a four-poster bed (depending on the room, of course – I'm not sure about the high floor or interconnecting rooms situations, but let's be honest, I wasn't paying attention!). They are definitely not sterile. I would strongly suggest booking a higher price room. They have Air conditioning (bliss, especially in July!), blackout curtains (thank the heavens!), and a safe box to stash your passport (because, you know, travel). The complimentary tea and free bottled water were lifesavers after a long day of wandering. The rooms had Internet access – wireless which was fine, not super speed though.
Now, for the nitty gritty:
- Cleanliness and Safety: I am obsessed with cleanliness (a borderline germophobe, okay?). Good news! The place felt spotless. Everything was really clean! They have Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and rooms sanitized between stays, which made me breathe a sigh of relief. There was also hand sanitizer everywhere!
- Services and Conveniences: The daily housekeeping was a godsend. Having a clean room is what I look for! Luggage storage was super useful. The concierge was friendly and helpful, though I’m not sure what the cash withdrawal situation was.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Adventure… Mostly
Listen, I'm a foodie. The restaurants and the options are important. The breakfast was good, a buffet with options from Western breakfast to Asian breakfast, with plenty of coffee. Lunch and dinner were a la carte so you could explore some dishes, but for some reason the dishes tended to be a bit expensive.
- Bars: Cocktails and more cocktails! The poolside bar was the perfect spot to sip a chilled rosé and watch the sun dip below the horizon. Happy hour added an extra layer of joy (and cheaper drinks!).
- Other: They have a coffee shop for your caffeine fix and a snack bar for those inevitable nibbles. I heard stories of people getting a bottle of water!
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Pamper Yourself (Seriously, Do It!)
Okay, now we're talking. Chateau Les Oliviers de Salettes gets the whole relaxation thing.
- Pool with view: Seriously? I spent more hours there than I care to admit. The view alone is worth the price of admission.
- Spa: I indulged in a massage (heaven!), and I heard whispers of a body scrub and body wrap – next time, for sure!
- Gym/fitness: There is a Fitness center. I'm not sure I ever saw it, but hey, it's there.
- Sauna, Spa/sauna, Steamroom – a full-on relaxation situation.
For the Kids (And the Kid in You):
They have Kids meal, Babysitting service, Family/child friendly. Kids can have a good time.
The "Meh" Moments (Because Life Isn't Perfect)
Now, the truth. Nothing is perfect.
- Internet: The Wi-Fi wasn't always the fastest. But hey, you're in Provence. Unplug! I was also not able to use Internet [LAN].
- I'm not sure about Food delivery I did not use it, nor did I ask.
Value for Money: Worth the Splurge?
Here’s the thing: Chateau Les Oliviers de Salettes is luxurious. It’s not the cheapest option in Provence. BUT – and this is a big but – it's worth the splurge. The location, the views, the service, the spa… it’s an experience. It's a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and actually relax.
Here's my unfiltered, messy, honest opinion:
If you are looking for an escape, a place to rejuvenate, and a little slice of Provencal heaven, book Chateau Les Oliviers de Salettes. Book it now. Seriously. You won't regret it.
Now, for the sales pitch… (because I'm supposed to do that!)

Bangkok Bliss: Your Dream Getaway Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because you're about to get real. Here's my attempt at a Chateau Les Oliviers de Salettes itinerary, but instead of a rigid, robotic schedule, you're getting me at my most travel-neurotic, caffeine-fueled, and wine-buzzed best.
CHATEAU LES OLIVIERS DE SALETTES - My Totally Unreliable, Probably-Going-To-Go-Off-the-Rails Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival - The Great Olive Oil Epiphany (and the Unpacking Avalanche)
- 10:00 AM (ish): Arrive at Marseille Airport (MRS). Fly! I swear, I went a little too long without a solid travel experience. I've got my noise-canceling headphones (essential for dealing with the airplane baby, which is unavoidable, but a small nuisance). Pray to whatever deity you subscribe to that my luggage makes it. It’s always a gamble.
- Anecdote: Last time I flew into Paris, my suitcase ended up in… Iceland. Iceland! I’m still not sure how it happened, but I spent three days of my trip wearing the world’s most depressing assortment of borrowed clothes. Never. Again.
- 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM: Pick up the rental car. Okay, deep breaths. Driving in France is supposed to be… something. (I think I've been watching too many cheesy French action films.) I'm opting for the automatic, just in case. Wish me luck navigating the roundabouts - I'm pretty sure I'll get lost within the first mile.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Scenic drive to Chateau Les Oliviers de Salettes. Aiming for scenic! This is where the meticulously planned (ha!) route goes straight into "follow the signs, try not to crash, and breathe". Hopefully, it'll live up to the pictures. I'm already dreaming of that perfect Provencal light.
- Observation: The French countryside is basically Instagram fodder. Every field, every tiny village, every slightly crooked tree… It practically begs you to take a photo. (I'm already making mental notes for my feed. #ProvenceLife #LivingMyBestLife #MaybeSlightlyLost)
- 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Check in! The moment of truth. Will the chateau be as magnificent as the website promises? Am I going to be living my "Under the Tuscan Sun" fantasy, or is this going to be a disaster?
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: The Unpacking Debacle. Okay, I admit it. I’m a terrible packer. I always overpack and bring stuff I never wear. My suitcase will explode. The chaos ensues. The clothes, the gadgets, everything. I have to actually unpack, otherwise, I'll be that messy vacationer.
- 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Settling in, shower, and a quick exploration of the chateau grounds. Strolling the grounds for some fresh air, and maybe a view. This should be the "romantic" part.
- 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM: The Olive Oil Revelation. Dinner at the Chateau's restaurant (fingers crossed). I'm ordering everything that comes with olive oil. This is the South of France, people! I want to fully embrace the experience, from the simplest bite to the fanciest meal. I'm looking for the moment where I taste the real deal, the taste of perfect, authentic olive oil. And I'm hoping it gives me a culinary awakening. I'm probably going to annoy the staff by asking too many questions about the oil and the olives.
- Emotional Reaction: If the olive oil isn't amazing, I'm going to dramatically fling myself onto a lounge chair and sob. No, I'm kidding? (Maybe not.) This is what I'm here for. THIS.
- 9:00 PM onwards: Wine. Lots of wine. Possibly a wander around the grounds under the stars. Probably more wine. And hopefully falling asleep before my brain begins to overthink every single thing I've done in my life.
Day 2: Markets, Mountains, and Mystical Moments
- 8:00 AM (ish): Wake up. Hopefully somewhat refreshed. Coffee. Lots of coffee.
- 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Morning Market Exploration. (God willing, a market would be nearby.) This is where the real fun begins! I’m picturing myself wandering through a bustling market, surrounded by colorful produce, and tasting every cheese imaginable. I will attempt to speak French, butchering everything, but hey, that's part of the charm, right?
- Imperfection: I'm going to buy too much food. Always. Then I won't be able to eat it all and feel guilty. But I can't help myself!
- 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM: This is where things get vague, because I'm not sure what to do. Hiking? Visiting a nearby village? I think I feel like having a relaxed day but I've been known to be a terrible planner. So this is subject to change.
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Lunch. Hopefully at a charming cafe. Or, if all else fails, I eat the mountain of cheeses and bread I bought at the market while having a meltdown in the car.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: If I can be bothered, another hike. Might be fun. Or a nice long sit.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Revisit the Olive Oil! I should find time to do a tasting at the chateau itself. And maybe buy a lot of olive oil to take home. My suitcase has to expand a bit, or maybe I will ship some home.
- 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Dinner at the Chateau or a nearby restaurant. More (fingers crossed) delicious food and wine.
- Quirky Observation: I may begin to develop a weird obsession with the local cheese. I am a sucker for anything that has a strong smell.
- 9:00 PM onward: Stargazing. Or, if the sky is cloudy, just staring at the ceiling. Writing in my journal. Or falling asleep, maybe a bit buzzed. It's all good.
Day 3: Departure - The Bitter-Sweet Goodbye (and the Shopping Spree)
- 8:00 AM (ish): Last breakfast at the Chateau. Sulk a little because it's almost over already.
- 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Shopping. I can't leave without buying approximately one million souvenirs. Local crafts? Check. Scented soaps? Check. More olive oil? Double-check.
- Emotional Reaction: The inevitable pang of sadness as I realize the trip is almost over. I need to make the most of the last hours.
- 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Final stroll around the grounds. One last chance to soak in the atmosphere.
- 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Drive back to the airport. Try very hard not to think about going home.
- 3:00 PM onwards: The long journey home. Reflecting on the trip, already planning my next adventure.
Important Notes (aka, My Disclaimer):
- This itinerary is a suggestion. I reserve the right to change my mind at any given moment.
- I may become deliriously happy.
- I will probably overspend.
- I might spontaneously burst into tears of joy.
- I’m going to have the best time.
Okay, that's the plan. Wish me luck! And maybe, just maybe, I'll actually stick to this itinerary (mostly). 😉
