Lovely property in great location, only 10 mins from the bustling tow of Aix-de-Provence.
Staff were great. Cocktails and restaurants were very high standard.
Chateau de la Gaude is a stunning property, with excellent on site dining experiences, beautifully appointed, modern rooms, and a spectacular garden. What keeps this hotel from being a five star experience for me, was the rather lackluster staff. No one was rude, just moderately not helpful.
Very bad japanese restaurant but the rest was amazing. Also I think the rooms should be ready before 4pm they said i was a priority but yet my room wasnt ready before that…
Beautiful property, food was great. Only thing lacking was the irregular turndown service and service at Le Source - after main course waiter disappeared waited 20 minutes to order a dessert, gave up and went to the bar to ask for the bill. Management seems overrun and restaurant staff didn’t seem to be able to think straight and serve customers effectively and efficiently. Appears they can co-ordinate landing a helicopter on the lawn but not taking a dessert order unfortunately.

The hotel is beautiful and the staff was very attentive to our needs.
Our only complaint was the garden watering system noise in the morning.
Beautiful new hotel with really friendly staff. Very cozy. Food was also great and the venue incredibly beautiful. Art work is a bit out there though. :/ happy I didn’t take the kids and had to explain it to them.
One of the most beautiful hotels in Provence if not in France. Great location, beautiful rooms, friendly staff, great restaurants and cellars, everything is thought through to make your stay unforgettable!
