We wanted to stay in a French Chateau, and were very satisfied with our 3 1/2 days at the Chateau. Difficult to find, although only 15 minutes from Aix, but worth the effort. After all, how often do you stay at a 10th century castle on a hill? the Staff is small, but friendly. The owner Maurice Benet (unsure of spelling) helped me with luggage, although there is no formal bellman. Important: they do have two elevators, but you won't find them on your own). All the rooms are worth exploring, and the views are great. The owner allowed us to use the internet for no charge, and breakfast (included) was adequate. We did not have dinner there, opting to dine in Aix every night. Pretty good Provence location, but I would have moved after 2 nights. Probably the most memorable place we stayed in during our 10 days in France.

I am torn as to reviewing this property. The chateau is beautiful and has amazing vistas of the surrounding hills and valley below. Our suites were huge and very well decorated, and I recommend splurging for the extra space. The bathtubs and showers need major revamping. The pool is lovely, but it is a hike from the chateau. Service here is hit and miss. There are no bellmen to help with luggage, and there are 30+ steps to the front door. However, the front desk and dining room staff are very cordial and did their best to help (not many bi-lingual staff). Overall, we enjoyed staying here (15-minute drive to Aix-en-Provence), but this is not a place for everyone. If you are looking to stay somewhere unique and can ignore some misgivings, then you will enjoy your time here.

Beautiful hotel and grounds, horrible operations. Yellow-Brown water from bathroom sink, air conditioning worked erratically, bright lights shining in windows at night, can be noisy - some rooms right above outside dining area and hotel fails to disclose. Pool far distance from hotel, difficult for children, older adults or disabled. Managment rude, inhospitable and only interested if lots of $$$ spent.

We had to stop at a local bar to give us directions, but once we found this out of the way gem, we were delighted with the beauty and attention to detail of this historic and well maintained chataeu. The owners are polite and helpful. Each room is unique and exquisitely decorated. We were there in the off-season and were the only guests, which made us feel like we owned the entire chateau. Breakfast in the sunny blue room offered the most mouth watering croissants and jam.
Wish to revisit.
