Château De Montcaud

Lovely in every way. Staff superb, rooms so comfortable promoting a great night's sleep, and a lovely pool to cool off on the very hot days. They provided great e-bikes for touring the countryside. And the restaurant was perfect, quiet, excellent outdoor dining.

We spent a lovely week at the Chateau de Montcaud. The hotel is beautifully presented, recently refurbished, stylish and relaxing. We chose to stay in La Maison, which is a cottage in the grounds. It meant that we had the best of both worlds, as it is a well appointed self catering cottage with access to all the hotel facilities. It was the perfect size for us and our teenage son. Both bedrooms and the kitchen/sitting room had silent air conditioning which was a huge relief from the hot summer sun. The hotel swimming pool was very welcome, well maintained and heated to a blissful 28 degrees. There was plenty of room around the pool on comfortable loungers. You can also borrow electric bikes, play tennis, ping pong, football or boules. The restaurant has a lovely relaxed ambience and serves great food (only the bistro was open when we were there). Don’t miss the Sunday brunch; a buffet of amazing food with live jazz. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. All in all a memorable and enjoyable stay.

All I will say here is that staying at this hotel was sadly a very unpleasant experience, that was topped off by the large scorpion we found in our room. I would not recommend this property to anyone. I don’t simply suggest walking away - I’d run!!

What a beautiful Chateau! The gardens are well maintained and a delight to walk and enjoy. The sweet little waterfall with benches to rest and the heated pool are examples of the thoughtful care given to this Chateau. We were particularly excited to find giant Spanish Fir trees and cedars attesting to the age of the Chateau. We had a Privilege Room with lovely views and recently updated. We loved the layout of the rooms from the modern bath to the small sitting area and lot’s of outlets for the gadgets we all travel with today. Our pre contacts with the lovely concierge Juliann were very helpful and each question answered in detail. Upon arrival she offered several suggestions for our day trip which we enjoyed. I read some reviews that this was out of the way but we found it very central to wineries, historic sites and great small villages. We are so glad to have found Chateau du Montcaud for our two night adventure in the country. And of course the spectacular restaurant on this sight is another reason to extend your stay.

Beautiful setting, lovely restaurant with fine dinner and a wonderful old chateau. Staff is also attentive and friendly. What lets this chateau down is the quality of the rooms and the interiors which have a distinctly IKEA vibe. Don’t know about you, but I don’t spell “luxury” I-K-E-A

Excellent dining and accomodations within the heart of French Provence.

The restaurant is situated in a park-like beautiful large garden with old trees and several charming sitting areas. The “patron” is Swiss and accordingly everything from service to food is close to perfect J. Some of the plates in the menu were truly great: We loved the foie gras, the seafood was impeccable. Reservation is paramount.

This was for a dinner reservation at the gastronomic restaurant as opposed to the bistro. They could not initially find our booking despite the fact that we had asked them specific questions about the food because of some difficulties that one of our party has with eating solid food. Anyway once that was overcome we were seated and then the experience started. |One of those menus where portion size was just right and there were many individual plates that made up the experience.|This was an explosion of flavors. Presentation was in my view Michelin standard. They catered for our guest member with eating difficulties and nothing was too much trouble. |Overall a unique and satisfying experience.
