The hotel is beautiful, the grounds are stunning and the restaurants wonderful. We loved our stay at Château de la Gaude. Getting there from the aiport was super easy, Uber and Bolt operate making it very convienient to get into Aix en Provence as well. The hotel had already preorganised bikes so we get cycle into the centre which was also a lovely experience. The pool area and the staff were amazing, as was the food and the wine. We dined at La Source which was also a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The staff always went out of their way to make you feel relaxed and welcome. The only 2 (very small) downsides are the wifi which is very intermitent and the water pressure in the shower, this was very weak at peak times. The room was otherwise beautifully appointed and we had everythinig else we needed during our stay.

The bed at this property in the duplex suite was very high quality and comfortable. The drapery did not black the room out for sleeping, and it got a bit hot sleeping on the top part of the duplex. We asked for a fan but they didn’t have one. Perfect sheets, pillows and great robes and towels. The room did not have a huge closet, no room to hang dresses. Restaurant was good, although there are a lot of bugs. Beautiful property overall, I would stay here again if in the area. Close to Chateau la Coste

Incredible location and estate! Set in a vineyard, this property had amazing views, amenities and staff. We went for a couple days in between Paris and Nice, for some downtime and Chateau Le Gaude exceeded all of our expectations. We did the wine tasting, hung out by the pool and ate at Le Source and Le Art. Cannot wait to return!

This is a beautiful property - we just stayed one night passing though but it was quite memorable. We dined at the gastronomique restaurant and it was a wonderful experience. The staff was very helpful and kind and gave us a lovely tour of the property.

Beautiful property with attentive and friendly staff. I got engaged here and it was absolutely gorgeous. The room overlooked the courtyard and the grapevine field behind it. I never needed anything because the experience was so well thought out. Plus it is close to aix-en Provence which was nice if you want to go into town. My literal only began is that we weren’t fans of the restaurants for the price. We are Americans and my fiance is pretty picky, so it could be cultural differences or personal preferences. Overall this place was absolutely stunning. It felt like a dream and was easily in my top best hotel stays. Every detail was perfect from the comfort of the bed to the softness of the towels. Everything was luxurious and I highly recommend staying here.
