Château de Montcaud

Timeless style. Effortless stays. Boundless possibilities. With Château de Montcaud, less is most definitely more. At this 19th century Provençal estate, luxury is found in moments spent in beautiful simplicity. It could be the pleasure of a good book beneath the cool calm of a poolside parasol. Mellow afternoons easing into evening on the restaurants’ terraces, as the sun’s final rays glint through the chestnut and cedar trees. The anticipation of a Michelin-starred dinner at Le Cèdre de Montcaud, where only the chef knows what is about to unfold. From sunrise to golden hour, this Château and its five perfectly poised acres, is your playground.

Families aren’t just welcomed here; they’re handed the keys to the house (and gardens). Where children are free to roam and family time ticks by in the pool – or on the tennis court, at a ping-pong tournament, mastering boules. Carefully considered rooms and duplex suites come equipped with with baby beds and children’s amenities. Or request the privacy of La Maison, the former gatekeeper’s cottage. Meanwhile, culinary connoisseurs in the making can enjoy petit-gourmand menus. And the restaurant terraces make the perfect vantage points for watching little ones play hide-and-seek between courses. 

Within the golden triangle of Provence, Ardeche and Camargue, this heart-stealing part of France flows out from Château de Montcaud like a landscape painting. See it from the saddle, borrowing bicycles to discover Goudargues, or feel the cooling mist of Les Cascades du Sautadet in La Roque sur Cèze. Picture the roar of the crowd in Roman amphitheatres, or settle into the stillness of medieval cathedrals in Avignon, Nîmes and Arles. Trek or canoe your way across the Gardon Gorges, or sip your way across the vineyards of Côtes du Rhone. Of course, you could simply pause within the mellow calm of the hotel, ticking off the 40 (and growing) rose varieties that bloom here. The poetry of each season is written across this parkland, its five sublime acres crafted over centuries into an artful celebration of nature.
