My wife and I spent 6 nights in an apartment at the Villa Castellane and are looking forward to returning next year. The location is excellent because Greoux is famous for the thermal baths, and they are practically across the street through a lovely little park. They are worth the experience - try the 1 hour introduction. The best bakery is a 10 minute walk up the street, as are our favorite restaurants, and the main shopping area is just past the bakery. A little grocery store is just 5 minutes away. The apartment was large, clean, and very roomy with bedroom/bathroom on one side of a door and the living room/dining room/kitchen on the other. The shower also was very large. My wife prefers a bathtub so we will have to wait until the suites are finished before we can stay in a room with a tub. The staff was excellent, especially the girl from Jamaica (I think her name was Kamisha) and a young man with black hair who was on the desk at 7 am. Unfortunately I didn’t ask for his name. I needed to rinse some outdoor clothing using a hose, but the hose was missing a quick release fitting to connect to the faucet, and he spent 20 minutes trying to find it. But the most amazing part was what happened after we left. The morning of our departure we had to leave very early to catch a plane at the airport in Marseille. Because we were in the apartment, we had acquired a number of items we could not take with us on the plane, such as cheese and crackers, bottles of water, cookies, and bread. I saw my wife using my Mont Blanc pen, which was on the table, to write a note in French saying the staff was happy to help themselves to any of these items. We no longer needed them. As we were arriving at the airport, I asked my wife for my pen, which she said she had left on the table with all the things we didn’t want because that was where she found it. We called the hotel and talked to Kamisha (?) and explain the situation. She said she would look into it. We didn’t hear anything for several weeks, and then one day, back home in California, we received a box with my pen! So thank you to all the staff.
