This is a beautiful property, like staying in a dream castle. Parking is easy, the rooms are comfortable.
Breakfast was not included.
It was a lovely stay again. Delicious and we had breakfast in our room as they had a wedding party taking over the breakfast room. That was fine with us. Very telaxing
We had a coffee maker and kettle but no china cups which we would have liked instead of the paper cups supplied.
La capella is just amazing in every regard.
Breakfast was unhygienic, with most food left uncovered. I would have expected better practices in the countryside, where flies should not really be a surprise..
This bastide has a hotel plus self catering villas, wedding and conference venue and a spa. The property and the grounds were attractive and we liked the “whispering angels” statues illuminated at night. Our room - one of the larger ones - had a very comfortable bed and nice bathroom with a good shower. The staff were pleasant and helpful.
We stayed for one night in early March and the hotel reception, bar and main restaurant were not open. There was no space at the smaller “rotisserie” restaurant for dinner so we had to drive into the village to eat. The only opportunity for a drink was standing up at the bar in the Rotisserie.
Lovely location in an impressive building
It needs some care and organisation… looking a little run down and in kept. Lots of gazebos around which aren’t in keeping with the chateau.
Grounds and facilities were nice. Room was authentic but bathroom was tiny and inconvenient. Most of hotel staff was lovely and helpful. Breakfast by the pool was nice with typical choices - though expensive.
Only restaurant open was Rotisserie which was a disappointment - food choices were awful and wait staff were less than cordial. Terrace Grill next to pool only served drinks. No other food options nearby.
A fabulous country hotel . well worth visiting. I stayed in a room in the castle with a four pister bed. As befits the surroubdings the room was not ultra modern but everything worked and the bed was comy and the bathroon spotless. the goumet restaurant was amazing with great views as the sun set .
Stunning location & a charming property. Helpful staff.
The Wi-Fi was broken for the entire 2 nights of our stay. Some maintenance needed doing (eg. the pool liner had come away on the steps into the pool).
Beautiful room with a view - we were upgraded!Restaurant on-site is Michelin star and great value for money. Really nice pool. Surroundings are picturesque
Breakfast could have been better for €21 pp. They ran out of eggs and sausages at 9:15 and weren’t going to refill them, until we prompted multiple times and finally got more put out
The building is beautiful. Nice pool area. Rooms are ok although bathrooms very dated. The staff are fantastic.
The food is terrible. We booked the rotisserie restaurant which is the cheaper of the two restaurants. We were phoned a few days before to say they were doing a special truffle set menu that night. That sounds good to us. It was tuna carpaccio, which sounds great but bland, no seasoning, rocket on top with no dressing. Very dull and bland. The second course was chicken or Guinea fowl, with mash potato and truffle. Sounds amazing. Unfortunately we were presented with runny mash potatoes and what could only be described as a bird carcass. There was no meat on it. My wife was presented with a half chicken but only bones. When we asked for a new plate they brought the same plate back to us and told us they would bring some meat on the side. So we sat looking at this dead chicken body waiting for food. All this for 181 euros. Worst food I’ve had in France. Breakfast also looked dreadful. We booked breakfast, had one look and left. Powered eggs, weird sausages and a croissant, I think it was 25 euros a person. We just left.
We loved the restaurant and the territory. Staff in the restaurant were very welcoming and accommodating, the food was superb.
The room is small and “ok” decorated, it was a bit dirty, with a dead fly squished on the wall. It was too expensive for what it is.
This is a property that is spectacular to look at and very picturesque
The property needs a lot of work, it’s very run down. The pool although lovely setting needs the floor redone it’s coming away. Also no food service between breakfast and dinner which make it difficult for overseas travellers and children.
One of the Best Hotel Castel in EU ! I’ve been for the fifth Time in this place . Cusine , excelent , Micheline Star , clean and personal well educated .Seiming pool good .Breakfirst very good .??????
The bed was amazing. The silence of the surroundings and the whole atmosphere in general.
Take into consideration to search what restaurant is open and to book in advance places at the location if you want to have something to eat.
The restaurants were amazing. Elegant food and wine choices. The staff were super helpful at the front desk, gracious at the spa and well informed and service oriented at the restaurants.
The property was a HUGE disappointment. The serene setting that is advertised was not what we experienced. As far as the room itself - The room decor was bizarre and dated. I’ve seen college boys make better choices at a thrift shop. There was an open hole in our ceiling, bathroom fixtures are dated. The bed was comfortable but we both ended up with suspicious bites. The grounds could have been so lovely and elegant except that there was a conference going on and their appliances were scattered all over the lawn, cardboard boxes were stored at the entry area to the hotel making it all cluttered. The pool furniture is plastic! The tables are faded and worn. The equipment and tools used to maintain the grounds and set up for large groups were all visible. The pond was filthy. During what could have been a relaxing outdoor breakfast, there were constant deliveries to the gourmet restaurant…. The trolleys were very noisy and it ruined the whole ambiance. This hotel needs to decide if they want to be a chateau hotel or if they are simply an event center. There is huge misalignment in the environment advertised and the one experienced if you are a hotel guest. We would not stay here again, regretted the decision for sure beyond the great food. The spa is TINY and didn’t include all of the advertised amenities… the jacuzzi specifically which was one of the reasons we chose this location Very disappointed
Very nice castle. Period a bit cold, but in the summer should be fantastic. Room comfortable and well equipped.
Expensive wine at the restaurant. Basic wine glass - Rhonea Fontimple Vacqueyras - for 8 Euros, far too much. Rest OK.
excellent meal in the restaurant
very dated and mismatched decor. Bathroom in a very poor state. broken fittings, grubby corners.
