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 The gym machines were out of date and in poor maintenance.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.

Our lovely, spacious room overlooked an old pond surrounded by palm trees with the heated pool just peeking through a small copse beyond. We stayed for 5 nights and looked forward eagerly to returning to our "home in the park" every day. Rudy and his staff couldn't have been more helpful by doing us countless little favours and offering advice about the prettiest drives, etc.

The restaurant was gorgeous with food and service to match. At dinner one evening, we overheard a guest begin to ask a waiter, "Would it be possible...?" The waiter replied, "Everything is possible, Madam!"

We have stayed in many chateaux in France over the years and liked most of them but the Montcaud was the most difficult of all for us to leave.
