Château de Fonscolombe

I spent New Year's Eve at Château de Fonscolombe with family and it exceeded my expectations. The château itself is an 18th-century beauty, and the grounds are absolutely stunning. Walking through the historic gardens with the chapel, you really feel the history of the place. Inside, the décor strikes just the right balance—elegant and authentic without feeling stuffy or overdone. Our rooms were beautiful just like the public spaces which have been restored with taste and care. But what really made our stay special was the staff. Everyone was professional yet warm, which isn't always the case in today's 5 star hotels. I have to give a special call out to Mademoiselle Juliette, who took care of us during the New Year's Eve dinner at La Table de l'Orangerie. She was absolutely wonderful—attentive, charming, and made sure every detail of our evening was perfect. As for the dinner itself, the chef and his team delivered a flawless performance. Every course was beautifully executed, and you could tell they put their heart into making it a memorable night for all the guests. If you're looking for a really special place to stay in Provence, I can't recommend Château de Fonscolombe enough. It's true hospitality with class. One tip: As the public spaces of such a traditional building cannot be easily heated, think of a second layer for the colder months. The rooms were easy to heat though. Looking forward to coming back.

This is my favorite hotel that I have ever stayed at, and I have stayed at hundreds of luxury of properties around the world. It was absolutely sublime. Walking into the grand old reception rooms felt like walking back in time, but with all the luxury amenities of a recently renovated 5 stay hotel. It was serene, peaceful, and absolutely gorgeous. I stayed here with my partner for a relaxing week of rest, wine, and reading by the pool. It has all the best that Provence can offer, including a Michelin star restaurant, but still feels like a hidden gem. I especially appreciated the thoughtful way the hotel was restored to leave as much history and charm intact. This was one of the best vacations of my life and I think of it often. 11 out of 10. A masterpiece. Maybe I will plan a wedding here. It was very romantic.

I cannot say enough good things about this property. From the moment you pull up, you feel like royalty. The rooms are spectacular. Bathrooms a work of art with a wonderful bathtub. Even the window in the rooms give you the feeling of being a princess! Both restaurants could not have been better. The staff cannot do enough to help you. It is also within easy distance to surrounding sights. Don't hesitate to book this for your vacation.

We loved our stay with you, thank you to all the friendly team who went out of their way to make our experience memorable, a special mention to the housekeeper who came with fresh towels after we mistakenly left the door hanger on do not disturb! The rooms are beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable, we loved the little touches around the hotel and in the room to remind us to disconnect from our busy lives and to reconnect with ourselves and our loved ones; books in the room with daily meditation sessions (thoughtfully book marked by the housekeeping team) to weighted blankets and yoga mats and complimentary classes in the garden of the Château. ||We had a very good dinner in the restaurant Le Temps Suspendu and breakfasts were delicious with plenty of choice and great service from a friendly waitress (sorry we didn't get your name). ||The park and grounds are beautiful, particularly when we visited in Autumn as the leaves were turning and the weather was warm and sunny, we actually felt that the Château is the perfect place for a cosy winter escape, located just 20 minutes from Aix en Provence, we only wish we could have stayed longer and can't wait to return, highly recommended!

I loved the chateau so much, every aspect was just perfect and I slept so well! The staff (shout out to Leticia!) are all so lovely and helpful. The rooms are spacious and beautiful and provide everything you could want, from an espresso machine to wonderful robes & slippers, amazing smelling toiletries, weighted blankets for the beds (a dream!). The whole property is so peaceful and relaxing, tons of space to walk around and explore, or relax, and a beautiful pool area. The only thing I would have liked to have in the room that was missing was a mini fridge, but that's not a deal breaker. Such a lovely property!

This is an absolutely stunning hotel. There are trails to walk, bicycles provided, donkeys and ponies, gardens, a beautiful outdoor pool and a spa. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Yoga mats and white noise machines are provided in the rooms along with a nightly treat that differed each evening I was here on a Wild Terrains tour with a group of 5 women so we had transportation and could visit some nearby villages but you may need a car if you’d like to do that on your own. However, one could easily unwind at the hotel for a week and not leave the grounds.

Spectacular grounds and convenient location to many villages. Small details make a difference at this luxury price point—-shouldn’t have to search for a waitress for a drink refill, and shouldn’t have to look at an empty bucket and used plates and glasses in our room the next day before someone came to pick up. Valet and reception were excellent. Wine sommelier also. Excellent breakfast and gorgeous decor in the main areas. Rooms could use a little more luxury for the price. ||

Gorgeous property with an attentive and friendly staff. The rooms and grounds are excellently maintained, the food is delicious and high quality and I often felt as if I was the only person there because it’s so quiet. I enjoyed both restaurants, including the 7-course menu at La Table de l-Orangerie (jut know it takes 2.5 hours). The food is high quality and delicious and precautions were made for my dietary restrictions. I enjoyed an Ayurvedic massage and walking the wooded trails each day. Overall a wonderful place to escape to for 5 nights alone.
