Gîte de la Baume

What a cracking retreat this is, 9km north of Castellane. It's a friendly auberge (country inn) that offers surprisingly smart rooms (nearly all with some kind of a view) and a delicious, rustic table d'hôte (set menu) dinner (€20) in its restaurant, Aux Delices du Verdon. Half-board rates are available if you're staying overnight, or you can just visit for supper.
