    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..

    La capella is just amazing in every regard.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 bed was amazing. The silence of the surroundings and the whole atmosphere in general.

    Expensive wine at the restaurant. Basic wine glass - Rhonea Fontimple Vacqueyras - for 8 Euros, far too much. Rest OK.

    Very nice castle. Period a bit cold, but in the summer should be fantastic. Room comfortable and well equipped.

    The staff at breakfast was super stressed and late. We only got toast with cheese and salmon for eating initially. It took 30 minutes until something else arrived. Not great vale for 19 Euros.

    The room was gorgeous with a nice view of the surroundings. Historic and charming building!

    Abandoned wedding venue with cats
    • Leisure trip

    • Comfort Triple Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    I felt as though I was staying in a wedding venue that hadn't quite finished tidying up after the previous wedding and was getting ready for the next wedding. The hotel felt like a side business. The grounds felt untidy with piles of broken chairs and abandoned bits of furniture, two rotting caravans, a tatty chicken coop and half dead plants in pots. There was a strange mismatch between the very old chateau and modern additions like the large statue of a knight/king and several unused gazebos. The approach to the chateau is very impressive but the first thing you're greeted by when entering through the arch is a huge cage housing a large collection of cats that roam the premises. The poolside bar was a strange collection of structures, abandoned piles of furniture and large round events tables that would ordinarily be covered in white linen for a wedding. The Rotisserie restaurant was described as having outdoor dining, but it was actually a large plastic marquee against the side of the old building with astroturf under foot. It was a very strange atmosphere. Again, it felt like they were trying to find an additional use for one of the wedding venues. Our bedroom was in the main chateau and was a great size, with great views. However, it looked like it was last decorated in 1990. Overall, there was a feeling of arriving a day early to an event before the staff had started setting up. The grounds need a lot of investment and bedrooms need redecorating. Hotel guests need to be made to feel like they're staying at an expensive hotel, rather than a disused wedding venue with cats.

    The building is very impressive and staff very friendly. Reception were very friendly and helpful. The pool was great. The breakfast was one of the best I've had in a hotel. We ate dinner in the Rotisserie and the food was nice and staff great.

    Not recommendable at all. Reservation made over one month in advance for a "large comfortable king bedroom". We were given, instead, the infamous room 3 (infamous based on the reviews, which we read afterwards - which is bad on us), whose filthy conditions, small size, badly aged wallpaper and pieces of furniture (from the 80s, if we're lucky) are manifest in the pictures. On that day, for the same price we paid the hotel was offering a large and newly renovated room for 6 (!) - and yet, they gave us this tiny room (but the hotel was far from full). In addition, upon arrival, the receptionist weirdly insisted we book over 200+ EUR of extras (gourmet dinner and breakfast), attitude that made me balk. Pool water quality simply unsanitary, with uncivilized parents bathing kids in their diapers and no one saying anything. Dirty pool towels and even dirtier sunbeds. Gourmet/Michelin dinner was fine (but of course the hotel reception forgot to make the reservation for us, so we were subject to the whole "oh la la" scene by the waitress), but that is the only bright side of this stay, aside of course the views, which are indeed beautiful.

    Views of and from the castle. The rest has been a disaster.

    - The people were rude from the very beginning and saying things under their breath in French when we didn’t want dinner that evening I found very rude and off putting, not what we would have expected from a welcoming reception. - The mattress had large divots in like it hasn’t been replaced in well over 8 years! - The bathroom wasn’t clean. - It states the pool is open from 8AM - 7PM yet it wasn’t full at 9AM when we came down for the second time for a morning swim. - There was a dead bird by the pool which I wouldn’t have expected but understand could be unavoidable but it wasn’t cleared after several Staff walked passed it. I wouldn’t stay here for longer than a night if I had booked for longer!

    It’s beautiful grounds, but nothing else.

    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.

    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.
