I chose Le Prince Noir for its location at the top of Les Baux de Provence and for its terraces with out of this world views and I was not disappointed in the least. The website photos are accurate - I have posted some of my own for your review as well. The bathroom was unique with the shower open to the wash basin and a wood slat floor - the toilet was in a separate room. The bed super comfy with a view straight out the sliding glass door to the terrace and the hills. My room (Le Bijou) also had a small kitchen with microwave, frig, and table. Breakfast was standard European - croissants, baguettes, yogurt, fruit, juice, coffee, etc. and can be served to you in your room or on the terrace which I highly recommend.
But some words of warning... Les Baux is closed to cars during the day and even after hours you may choose not to drive its one and only one lane road that goes straight up the hill to the chateau because it looks quite difficult to maneuver. When making your reservation you ARE advised of such so I cam prepared. When I arrived at Les Baux I parked my car in the visitor's parking lot and took a small bag of essentials with me when I checked in. After seeing the road I decided that I would not drive the short distance to the B&B and just carry a smaller overnight bag with me and leave the large suitcase in the car. It is an uphill climb and up more stairs into Le Prince and then more stairs to your room, but the reward is well worth your effort. That being said, one should be in fairly good physical condition if they are considering staying here.
The overall experience was truly awesome and unique.
