This place is essentially in the middle of nowhere. We were there beginning of May. The pool…read morelooked like a fish pond, green and topped with floating algae. The breakfast buffet was poor and no cooked to order anything. It really looked like they had not opened for the season. The room must have been the smallest in the hotel, no desk w chair, and the upholstered chair that was on the room was sun bleached. The bed was full/double not queen, despite being represented as a queen. No air conditioning, although warm already, we weren't late enough in the season to have turned the main air unit on. The shower head was broken and despite numerous requests, they could not get it fixed on the five nights we were there. Oh, did I mention no phone in the room. So anytime we needed anything we had to walk down to the lobby. The only redeeming feature was the staff. Very nice, especially Hosin. You'd be better off staying in a Holiday Inn than this place. How it is a Relais Chateaux property is anyone's guess.

This beautiful castle is ridiculously awesome! A true castle from the 12th century!!

I felt like a princess :) The family which runs the castle is warm and I spent time with the adorably polite dog (Shun) on property as well! Conveniently located near the Pont du Guard, overlooking the vineyards of Rhone Valley. Wine tasting, truffle hunting,...or just exploring the charming property, you'll be so happy you stopped by this CASTLE! I even spotted a few cute deer in the backyard past the pool. So many surprises. This place is what you really imagine a 12th century castle to be like!
