We were married here in Sept 2024 and it could not have been a more perfect experience. Our friends and family have rave reviews for their rooms, food, staff and overall experience. Could not rate our time more highly and highly recommend. Thank you to Laurent, Maya and the entire team for giving us the wedding of our dreams!!!

This is an excellent option for anyone looking to stay in a beautiful historic castle surrounded by wine yards, away from the busy turistic places, yet within easy reach to what the region has to offer. It was an excellent room with a very reasonable price. Excellent experience for us! Recommended.

The property is impressive, nice views, quiet, well located to visit many attractions in Occitanie snd Provence. However: internet works with codes generated by the reception, given for 24h and must be entered all the time. Dust in the room, dark corridors ( it takes too long in my opinion until the sensors turn the lights on), the decorations are too munch and cheezy, dying plants on the corridors.

they wanted to give us a room full of mold, in the bathroom spiders and on the floor dirt. Incredibly! Alternative room was ok, but also not clean. Breakfast was ok, not possible to get boild eggs. Chateau is nice, but you can see they have troubles maintaining.

Not going to stay there never again.

It was at leats weird. Staff did not speak decent english, just french. The parking is not well signed and it is like 200 meters from the hotel. At night the lights were off l, so getting from the parking to the hotel was not friendly at all. The room was not well clean. We found a fake nail at the bed table, also a rest of an eaten apple behind the window curtain. Also some hairs when we open a bed. There was a smell in the room like somody were cooking stew or something alike. As the restaurant in the hotel was closed we ask in advance ( 15 days) the hotel staff to book as a table at a nice nearby restaurant, they book us a table at a place that was 25 minutes far. We suggest to change the reservation to a closer location. They book as a table at a nearby crepe restaurant. When we arrived there and decided to not eat there we found in google a restaurant one block away that used to have a michellin star. Food and service was great. We couldn't get the chance to try their restuarant so before booking the hotel check if their restaurant will be open, if will not it does not worth to stay there, at all.

Nous avons rĂ©servĂ© une suite pour une nuit Ă  mi-chemin de notre trajet entre l’Espagne et la Suisse, 2 adultes et un enfant en bas Ăąge. Nous avons sĂ©lectionnĂ© l’hĂŽtel pour son calme, son confort et son restaurant. ArrivĂ©s Ă  16h, nous apprenons que le restaurant est fermĂ© du dimanche au mercredi. Pas de snack bar, pas de room service, pas de staff, chateau vide (et quelque peu lugubre malgrĂ© des rĂ©novations modernes et un Ă©tat propre). Plus personne aprĂšs 20 ou 22h
 On nous donne la liste de 3 restaurants ouverts un lundi soir nĂ©cessitant d’y conduire (rien Ă  cĂŽtĂ©!) un ne rĂ©pond pas, l’autre a arrĂȘtĂ© de servir les soirs et le troisiĂšme me rĂ©pond qu’il a fermĂ© ses fourneaux Ă  cause de la canicule pour prĂ©server ses employĂ©s. Pas de dĂźner possible avant 21h avec un enfant en bas Ăąge qui a faim
 Au final, nous quittons l’établissement Ă  19h et rentrons en Suisse avant minuit. Un hĂŽtel 4 Ă©toiles qui n’offre aucune source de nourriture 3 jours par semaine est-il vraiment un hĂŽtel, ou plutĂŽt un bed & breakfast, aussi glorieux a-t-il l’air sur internet?

Potentiale er der, men blev skuffet

Omgivelserne var fantastiske! Slottet har potentiale til en super oplevelse. DesvÊrre var vÊrelset meget dÄrligt rengjort, med spindelvÊv og beskidt badevÊrelse, og den tilhÞrende terrasse var ogsÄ meget beskidt. Havearealerne omkring slottet og annekserne var ligeledes med stort potentiale, men heller ikke vedligeholdt som man kan forvente. Restauranten var ok, men heller ikke mere end det, og der var ikke plads begge aftener, da man skulle have bestilt inden man kom. Det fik vi bare ikke at vide pÄ forhÄnd

belle sérénité

Repérer le parking est un peu compliqué,en contrebas, loin de la réception pour les valises, une fois trouvé l'endroit est exquis, le chùteau imposant et magnifique ; les extérieurs vignoble et jardin parfaitement entretenus. La chambre permettait une petite vue sur le pic st-loup, la salle d'eau immense aurait pu offrir plus d'espace pour le petit receveur de douche. Le resto fabuleux, petit déjeuner parfait.

Wunderschöner Ort mit grosszĂŒgigen Zimmern, einem sehr schönen Park und guten Betten. Leider hatte es keine Minibar/KĂŒhlschrank im Zimmer. Das Hotelpersonal war sehr freundlich. Das Hotelrestaurant ist leider sehr schlecht und entspricht nicht mehr der Saison 2021, da der Koch nicht mehr derselbe ist. Dies wird sicherlich viele StammgĂ€ste enttĂ€uschen.

Beautiful hotel in true castle, needs polishing

Absolutely beautiful location and property. However, for the amount we paid I would have expected more. There is not enough signage (by a long shot), so we were quite confused as to where to part the car and enter the hotel. The parking is too far away and accessibility is poor. We were unable to dine in the restaurant. I would expect to have enough dining capacity for all the guests. Inexperienced staff (but they do try).
