"The fine dining restaurant at Château de Montcaud is headed up by a chef with international experience, the talented Matthieu Hervé. A constantly updated surprise set menu offers a succession of beautiful, meticulously prepared dishes: blue crab, jellied langoustine consommé; John Dory, romesco sauce, rock fish soup (a dish bursting with sunshine); fillet of veal in a crust of fresh herbs, cream of chanterelle mushrooms and espuma of hay (a dish embellished with magnificent sauces). The intimate setting of a delightful courtyard covered with Virginia creeper accommodates only six or seven tables, ensuring a first-rate experience." - Michelin Inspector

Chateau de Montcaud, Provence, France - Explore & Book

"Who hasn’t dreamed of owning a chateau in picturesque Provence? Silk merchant Alexandre Eugène Collain always did, and in 1848, having amassed a small fortune, he bought 12 acres of farmland and turned his fantasy into reality. Surrounded by the fertile vineyards and pretty hilltop villages of the unspoilt Cèze Valley, Chateau de Montcaud is both an opulent country hideaway and charming family home. Like many large estates, it fell into disrepair at one point, but new ownership and an extensive renovation have seen Collain’s legacy restored to its former glory.With its sweeping central staircase, beautiful tiled floors and high frescoed ceilings adorned with antique chandeliers, the chateau is undeniably grand. Tall windows look out over 12 acres of manicured gardens, complete with grotto, lake and ancient trees. Yet the 29 rooms and suites (including a 2-storey gatehouse) are elegant in their simplicity. Meanwhile, the former stables have been converted into a relaxed bistro and epicurean restaurant - fast gaining a reputation for its refined terre et mer cuisine. With sunshine in abundance and the delights of Provence on your doorstep, this chateau will appeal to incurable romantics and discerning gastronomes looking for a cultured break. Highs A historic 5-star chateau-hotel set in 12 acres of pretty landscaped gardens: southern France at its best You can choose between a fine-dining restaurant or a classic bistro; both are French foodie heaven Spacious, light-filled rooms - including family sized suites - with original features and gorgeous ensuite bathrooms Lots to do on site: stroll through the grounds, swim in the heated pool, play tennis or boules, or taste wines on the wisteria-covered terrace And it's ideally placed for exploring northwest Provence, including Nîmes, Avignon, Uzès and the Ardèche Lows You’ll need a car to make the most of this spectacular region The gourmet restaurant is only open Wed-Sat evenings, but the bistro is open daily for lunch and dinner The pool is shaded by trees in the morning, though wonderful in the afternoon sun" - Michael Cullen

Chateau de Montcaud (Sabran, French Riviera / Provence) 11 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"Provençal farmhouse hotels are perhaps familiar enough, but Provençal chateau hotels are still something of a rarity, the supply of castles being naturally somewhat constrained. The Château de Montcaud dates back to 1848, but its most recent renovation was just completed in 2018, and the result is an impeccably styled, impressively outfitted luxury boutique hotel." - Tablet Hotels

This is a lovely hotel with excellent food and the staff are without exception, outstanding. The Michelin restaurant was preparing to open on the first of May, so we were enjoying the bistro menu. We came as a large group and had a choice of two starters mains, and desserts every night - with no pre ordering. The restaurant manager controlled everything with eagle eye and a touch of humour. The sommelier (Mehdi - forgive me if I have spelt this incorrectly) was outstandingly knowledgeable and provided us during the course of our week, with variety of very largely local wines. ||One evening our group was invited for champers and canapés before dinner - what a simply lovely touch - this place really is one of a very unique kind. Nothing was too much trouble and we will certainly be going back next year if our group and the hotel agree. So please read my comments below with this in mind. We had a lovely week, and I really hope our group returns next year.||In my view these days there should however be a third and vegetarian choice on any menu. Despite both the leader of our group and the delightful Concierge mentioning this, little was done to provide a veggie dish for my wife that was not either veggie ingredients picked from the meat/fish choices. i.e. vegetables and potatoes, or that we could do at home. One night the main was mainly potatoes. Even the risotto was under the salmon main course. My wife and I too employed Michelin star chefs for many, many, years and perhaps have an idea of what is possible.||The grounds to are lovely and we could see the gardener fighting the weeds and readying things for the season ahead.||We were in room 20 and my only humble suggestion might be a touch more wardrobe space. The bedroom itself as large, airy and could not be faulted for cleanliness. Views over the grounds and a large bathroom with excellent shower and lovely toiletries. Oh, and the bed - super large and sublime duvets and linen. Superb housekeeping.||A venture like this (and why wife and I have done similar) is a continual work in progress and I mention the above in recognition of that, and, wish the owners all the very best as they work and strive to create their very special kind vision, and make it come true. This is one very, very special place.

We stayed at the exquisite Chateau de Montcaud for three long, glorious sunlit days in July 2024. What can we say? Perfection, perfection, perfection. ||We were greeted on arrival by Julyane, the concierge. Julyane was one of the main highlights of our stay. Charming, welcoming, kind and very efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. His first words to us were. “You can relax now. We will look after you. “ … And they did. ||Breakfast and dinner in the Bistro. Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. Dinner at Le Cedre was beyond compare and should not be missed. And for a 1 star Michelin restaurant it was very good value. ||The poolside service was perfect. Unobtrusively. |I’ve attached photos but it does not do this beautiful building and fine, fine service justice. ||We will definitely be returning next year for a repeat. ||Wonderful, don’t hesitate to come here. ||We stayed in a privilege room. Bed very comfortable and air conditioning very efficient - and we were here in a heatwave. Everything was immaculate.

Charming staff and a very warm welcome despite arriving at midnight due to intense storms near Dijon. Delicious plate of Hams and Cheeses as we had missed dinner.|Rooms very comfortable if a little stark, lovely grounds, very dog friendly and a truly memorable meal the following evening in their one michelin star restaurant.|All in all a perfect stay.

Beautiful property with friendly staff, but lacks important details for top-class status. Chateau and gardens slightly rundown and atmosphere is missing ambiance. Room amenities are also minimal for a five-star hotel. Good overall, but expected more for price and category.

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.

This is a fantastic hotel. First class in every respect. Warm, thoughtful service makes the difference. Arthur and Julien went out of their way for us through our stay. Great quality is always a bargain. We cycled, walked, ate in the restaurant and explored the area. Loved every minute.
