Everything about Chateau de la Gaude was exceptional, including the initial reception, the exquisite grounds, the warm and spacious guest suite, and the outstanding restaurant options (including a Michelin star restaurant)! Can't find fault with any aspect of Chateau de la Gaude! Would highly recommend this property to any/all of our friends!!!

Most beautiful setting I’ve ever been to. Classy and elegant chateau with modern art twist inside and out. Art was spectacular. It was my birthday, beautiful flowers were waiting in the room and absolutely amazing cake with champagne. We stayed in deluxe room with gorgeous views which is worth an upgrade. The room was large with super comfortable bed. Great size bathroom with make up mirror. Ironing and washing service available on the request which is very handy. Beautiful gardens around the chateau perfect for little walks. Nice size pool which wasn’t overcrowded and spa available. We had wine tasting which was short but perfect just to try local wine without spending all day away. All staff from the hotel, restaurants, pool and cleaning ladies were absolutely amazing. Very friendly, helpful and professional without being snobby and over the top which made perfect atmosphere for a such a beautiful classy place. We had dinner at le art and kaiseki, both tasting menus which are must if you love good food and beautiful spaces even if you not staying at the chateau. 10mins drive away from the centre of Aix makes it perfect location, transport can be arranged by the chateau. Two Michelin keys well deserved. We definitely will be coming back in the future.

Pretentious luxury fooled us

For a hotel listed under the Relais & Château organization it felt way short of our expectations: for the price we paid for the room it was extremely confining and no place to store our belonging and having to live out of our luggage the whole stay. Check in summarized what the current culture of the place is: pretentious but poor service . I was made to wait since there was no one to attend us when we arrived; in addition arriving by car we had to park a distance from the reception area with steps and cobble stoning surface and no one to help. When I asked for the general manager to handle this pathetic reception he was very apologetic and offered us a free dessert out of their limited and outrageously expensive menu!!! For what we were charged, breakfast as is commonly included in hotel stays in Europe was not included! Our room was extremely small , very nice bed and beautifully appointed bathroom but this is as far as I can be positive about La Goude When I returned one day to the reception , the attendant asked me how my stay was going and I laid it out honestly with the intention of bringing my concerns( which obviously felt way short of what they pretend to offer and he agreed with my criticism!) The premise is beautiful . Provence is such an amazing place to be and enjoy, sadly our experience at La Goude left us with a sad feeling of being fooled and gouged as visitors to this beautiful part of France
