This hotel is what you expect and hope for from a Relais and Chateau listed hotel. The rooms are in a beautiful chateau and are charmingly furnished with a Provencal note. Breakfast is superb and is served until 11 a.m. with a wide range of multi language newspapers available. Lunch in the shade of the towering chestnut trees is a special experience.
The whole atmosphere is calm, relaxing, friendly and faultless. Service throughout the hotel is impeccable. We discovered the Chateau when we were looking for somewhere to stay when going to the Music Festival at Orange. The owner, Rudi Baur, a passionate music lover himself, has devised a perfect recipe for enjoying this event: tickets, transport, food (delicious) are provided in a way that makes this a really wonderful experience.

We were expecting Relais Chateau standards but unfortunately they were not forthcoming. The intenet was too slow to download a movie and was not available in the room. The fitness centre doubled as a tiny tot creche. The gym machines were out of date and in poor maintenance. The grounds photograph well but omit the sound of the nearby road noise or the buzz of the breeding mosquitoes in the stagnant pools just outside the hotel rooms and the reception/dinning area. The basement area for the spa, steam room and sauna was locked unless booked in advance, and the rooms adjoining the spa smelt damp. Breakfast is served in the main house, but the sound of them preparing the food at 6.00 am makes the experience less than perfect. Oh and by the way don't expect a cooked breakfast, we were not offered one!!!!Reception and the dining area are in another building so if you like to dress for dinner and it happens to be raining this could add to your experience of a lovely evening. If you leave the hotel for a night out, don't come back late having forgotten the entry code because there is no night porter!!!

we spent two nights in this hotel.
our room was very good and we had the chance to have a connectin room (a smaller one but adequate) for our children. we appreciated very much he park surrounding the hotel with the swimming pool and the tennis court which are close but at the same time far from the main building ...ideal for relaxing and at the same time avoiding noises while staying in the room.
perfect location for a relaxing stay, howver not very much to do in the surrounding area (which is not always necessarly a disadvantage..)
some previous comments stated that the building needs a refreshment. This might be true from some point of view. I do however believe that a little bit of 'dust' here and there makes this location even more attractive.
breakfast outside on a hot summer day is something to enjoy
staff very helpful and kind
only one negative remark : the water is the jacuzzi was dirty ..i mean really dirty ..

I had the pleasure of staying at Chateau de Montcaud in July. After a truly terrible journey through France, we were welcomed with a glass of Rose and very friendly staff- exactly what we needed!

The Chateau is lovely. It sits in wonderful grounds with a great pool and spa..really everything you would want! The dinner menu was not huge, and quite fish oriented (to be expected, but not great for someone with a fish allergy!). Breakfast was pricey and probably the one slight let down of the stay.

All in all, if you have the budget to stay here, then do. Make sure you arrive early and leave late so you can make the most of the hotel.
