Hôtel Restaurant La Forge

Hôtel Restaurant La Forge offers three room types: a Double Room, a Double Room with Shared Toilets and a Quadruple Room. They accommodate two or four people and all have city views. Room sizes range from 10 to 18 m²; the quadruple room is the largest of the three, while the double room with shared toilets is the most compact. Each room has an en-suite bathroom with a shower or bath, toiletries and a hairdryer. A flat-screen TV, heating and a fan are also provided.

The main difference to note is that the toilets in the second room type are shared. The rooms are on the upper floors, which are accessible only by stairs; the building has no lift. The quadruple room suits travellers who need space for four, while the two double rooms are designed for two guests. All overlook the city of Castellane.

Hôtel Restaurant La Forge has a restaurant, an on-site café and a terrace. The restaurant serves children’s menus as well as menus adapted to certain diets on request. Fruit and wine or champagne are also available. Breakfast is served as a continental or buffet option. Family rooms and non-smoking rooms cater to different needs.

Free Wi-Fi is available in the communal areas. The facilities also include heating and a fan, and the rooms have flat-screen TVs. The hotel organises tours or classes about local culture, as well as cycling tours and walking tours. Express check-in and check-out are available, along with private check-in. The terrace provides an outdoor space to take a break. Pets are permitted on request, and a supplement may apply.

Castellane is a village in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, surrounded by limestone hills and landscapes associated with the Verdon. Its old streets, squares and religious buildings make up a compact centre that is easy to explore on foot. Le Roc, visible above the rooftops, defines the landscape and draws walkers looking to climb higher. The village suits travellers seeking a stay that combines local heritage with outdoor activities.

The Maison Nature et Patrimoines, 70 m away, explores the connections between local people, their surroundings and the natural environment. The Tour de l'Horloge and the Porte de l'Annonciade are landmarks along the centre’s lanes, while the Pont du Roc leads towards the Verdon. The Gorges du Verdon are known for their cliffs and walking routes; depending on the area, visitors can also enjoy water sports. Saint-André-les-Alpes railway station is 13 km away. Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is listed as 59 km from Castellane.

In spring and autumn, milder temperatures are well suited to walks and excursions in the surrounding landscape. Summer brings more activity and opportunities to enjoy water-based activities, with more visitors at natural sites. You can start the day by exploring the old centre and its historic buildings, then continue with a hike or a trip to the gorges. The terrain calls for sturdy shoes, and it is worth adapting outings to the conditions on the day.
