    Not much! It really was a magnificent stay

    It's hard to explain how magical a place the Chateau is. We stayed 2 nights with another family and had the most amazing time. The accommodation is spectacular with so many great touches, making our stay even more special. The rooms are very comfortable, the outdoor spaces are relaxing and welcoming, and the common areas inside are beautiful. Emma, Paul and the whole team were very helpful with all our questions and helped with bookings and suggestions around the area also. We're already planning when we can visit again.

    Only minor thing is we would have liked a glass panel on the bath as otherwise the water goes everywhere and makes it hard to wash properly.

    We had a warm welcome from our hosts who were very friendly and extremely accommodating! They booked a restaurant and taxi for us last minute and their children came to tell us the taxi had arrived. As well as allowing us to have a late check out and use the facilities before we left for our flight back. The chateau is beautiful with different rooms with games, an honesty bar with wine, soft drinks and snacks, the breakfast room with complimentary pastries, water machine and hot drinks machine. We made use of the pool which was lovely despite being attacked by mosquitoes. The terrace was also lovely too which was nice and peaceful. Our room was for 4 people with two comfy double beds, a bathroom (separate toilet to shower and sink). It was big enough for four adults for a short stay. Finally, Todd the dog was so cute and friendly which was the cherry on the cake!

    The room we chose on the third floor was very lovely in decor, very clean and was as described. Understanding that it was a chateau without an elevator, climbing the steps with our luggage was a little challenging.

    The environment was peaceful, relaxing, engaging and the customer service impeccable! Emma and her team made us feel very welcome and met our needs. The outdoor surroundings were out of a historical romance.

    A truly unique experience staying in a historic restored chateau in Provence.

    Lots of steps at this property, would have been a nice touch to when we arrived, have the owner/staff on call when answering the intercom at the gate to offer to come down to the parking area and help with bags (similarly to suggest parking behind the check in desk to load bags, we happened to see another guest do this and followed suit). Would have been a nice touch to get a very brief verbal history of the property (we did like the print out about the chateau in our room, this was a great touch) or offer a more detailed tour if time allowed. It's clear the family owning this property have taken incredible care of it and are so devoted to the chateau, however! We just didn't see that come through upon check in. The scent of lavender was so welcomed, alas we had arrived in Provence! However, both my friend and I felt the scent was simply TOO strong, a subtler amount of fragrance would be better. Additionally the room had clearly just been cleaned upon our arrival and the strong scent of the cleaning products lingered in the bathroom for quite some time. The temperature in the room was a little tough to regulate and one of the electrical or phone outlets hummed a little distractingly throughout the night, but I'm sure management would have handled swiftly had it not been in the middle of the night. This may be due in a different approach to bee / mosquito prevention but the bees pretty much took over our breakfast table due to the jams and fruits attracting them, and we decided to just stop eating at that point as it was so distracting. Not sure if there's a method or something to be done to ward them off humanely. Same went with the mosquitoes by the pool. May just be what it is in Provence, but took away ever so slightly from the experience. All in all we did have a lovely time and would return back, these are just some minor recommendations to take the property and experience from "really good" to "simply outstanding.

    The chateau was simply stunning. We had no shortage of nooks and crannies of the property to explore and in which to simply be in awe of its beauty. The proprietors have done an incredible job styling the space (I'm in love with the green marble topped chest!). The pool was lovely, enjoyed a nice afternoon there after a TGV ride from Paris and a drive. Should consider partially heating it though, it was extraordinarily cold even in the peak heat of the day. Loved that they had lawn games - pétanque etc., just didn't have an opportunity to partake. Breakfast was picture perfect, so many great options and touches throughout. May have been my favorite part! Loved the little board with recommendations of the various markets to visit each day. And the literature and decor in the front salon was fantastic. Also loved the honor bar, worked quite easily and we had everything we needed.

    The Chateau finds itself nestled in a picturesque landscape, in close proximity to the Rhone River and within convenient reach of the principal Provencal villages. Our journey led us through four distinct hotels across the Provence region, and I find myself unequivocally concurring that this hotel stands as the quintessence of excellence, a sentiment fortified by the following aspects: Owners: Overseeing the operations of this relais in an authentically Provencal manner, they manifest both affability and refinement Personnel: Their outstanding caliber and their solicitude for the welfare of the guests imbues one's experience with a sense of wonderment Hygiene: The rooms, permeated by a redolence of freshness, consistently maintain an impeccable standard of cleanliness, which is a rarity observed only in certain places Breakfast: It assumes the stature of a culinary experience, featuring an extensive array of food. I would recommend taking it in the early hours of the morning Aesthetic: Not only common areas, but also rooms boast a superlative array of textiles, harmonising splendidly with distinctive and singular fashioned pieces of furniture.

    The only things I can think of are super minor - because the bathrooms don’t have fans, it might be nice to have some spray in there. And maybe a shower curtain for the tubs with the shower attachment?

    Friendliness and welcoming nature of the lovely staff, beauty all around, gorgeous facilities! Breakfast was lovely, and we adored Woody the dog! It was really nice to be able to access the coffee machine & snacks during the day, and have access to other drinks. Everything was just gorgeous. Our only regret was not staying for longer.

    We carried our luggage from the parking lot up the stairs and gravel path to the hotel. The lack of the information, that you can drive to the back of the hotel and unload the luggage, is the only point that comes to my mind. But it is a free little workout ;-)

    Everything else. VERY friendly and helpful staff. The relaxing atmosphere and quietness. The feeling of safety. A lot of space to relax inside and outside. Free parking and charging station.
