The Quality Tourism state mark: exemplary quality of welcoming
Issued by the State, the Qualité Tourisme mark is a guarantee of high quality in terms of hospitality and accommodation. Our establishment has this mark of recognition. This means several things, including the following:
- we have a staff attentive to your energy and your comfort: we want you to make the most of your stay
- we showcase a local destination (click here for more information on local vacations)
- we provide personalized service
-
our customer service is among the best (satisfaction survey, e-reputation analysis, complaints handling, etc.)
This guarantee of quality is provided following an audit carried out by a mystery shopper. This client combs the establishment and subjects it to a number of tests ranging from 250 to 600. Finally, the audit is validated only if 85% of the tests are confirmed.
What to do in the region
Roussillon is a magnificent village, in the heart of the classified Luberon massif, and it has its color. A visit to the ocher trail, at the edge of the village, is essential. A few kilometers away, in Gargas, the spectacular underground mines of Bruoux are worth a detour.
A few kilometers from Apt, it can be reached by the Avignon TGV or the Aix – Marseille airport. Many accommodation solutions for all budgets are available around the conservatory
