Hôtel Chateau des Alpilles

My wife and I stayed here in 2023. We had an amazing experience. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The rooms are clean and well maintained. The food is delicious. All, of which, should be expected for a hotel of this caliber. The thing that sets this place apart are the grounds and property. The experience of sitting out front, having a quite breakfast and coffee with my wife as the cool breeze and morning sun light filtered thru the plane trees lining the long drive leading into the property. This is a memory that will stay with me for the rest of my life. If you are considering this hotel, do yourself a favor and book it. You will not regret it.

We absolutely loved our time at the Chateau. The staff is incredible and so helpful. We spent a fabulous day at the stunning pool. Would definitely recommend taking break from touring just to relax and enjoy everything. The area has so much to do, but it was so nice to slow down just a bit here. I cannot speak highly enough about the restaurant, as well. We had dinner twice and breakfast twice. The restaurant was truly a highlight of our time in France. Be sure to make dinner reservations!

A lovely, stately building, elegantly appointed and the warmest, most helpful service I think we have ever seen. From the second we arrived, the team does everything possible to make your visit easy, enjoyable and distinguished. We ate at the Chateau all three nights and the food and service are impeccable. The first night I had one of the best fish dishes of my life. Simple, bright, fresh, perfectly cooked with a light spring sauce. Wow! An easy 20 minute walk into town to the nice restaurants, shops and Musee Estrine. We also walked 20 minutes further to the Glanum Ruins and the St Paul Mausole where Van Gogh was hospitalized. What a beautiful place. We were very moved. We are already planning our return.

My husband and I were in the south of France for 3 weeks and we stayed at Le Chateau des Alpilles for three nights....and already I wished we had stayed even longer! This is without a doubt, one of the finest hotels I have ever stayed...anywhere in the world. Superlatives just can't do this hotel justice. Pulling into the 100+ year old tree-lined drive of the property, you immediately see the Chateau and think of it as a palace. We were immediately greeted by Vlad, the best valet, porter, greeter, front desk person we've ever met (sorry we didn't get to see him on his motorcycle, but that's another story!!). Honestly, the entire hotel staff was excellent...for the waitress at breakfast to the front desk people helping with taxis and dinner reservations. The staff is all attentive, professional, friendly and available. Fantastic. The physical property is beyond description! From the swimming pool, tennis courts, lawn lounging chairs, spa, koi pond/fountain, outdoor dining and fantastic bar....every aspect of this hotel is perfection. Everything is exceptionally well maintained, thought out, and available whenever a guest needs it. Our room was spectacular...spacious, well appointed, comfortable chairs, plenty of storage space (and drawers!). The bed was heaven and the bathroom, with it's double vanity, had plenty of space and fantastic water pressure! One of thousands of noticed details...the windows all have screens on them, so you can actually sleep with the windows opened at night (to hear the frogs!) without fear of being eaten alive by bugs...Brilliant thinking. Rarely would I select a hotel first and the destination second...generally we agree on a town/city and then pick a hotel accordingly. But in the case of Le Chateau des Alpilles, I would definitely come back for 4-5 nights just to spend ever minute at the hotel. It was THAT good! Thanks to everyone for taking such good care of us!...We'll definitely be back.

When you pull off the road into the Chateau's driveway, look down the tree-lined road and get your first glimpse of the Chateau you know you're in for something special. It is truly an historic home and the exterior reflect the pedigree of the estate. Vlad greeted us, took our bags and showed us into the house. We were introduced and he took our keys from us to park our car. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. After we were checked in we were shown to our room (#12). It was gorgeous and was decorated in the style of the house without being overly fussy. Two large windows overlooked the park/garden and a huge mirror gave the room the impression of much more space. The bathroom was spacious and the wardrobe enormous. After we settled in we decided to go downstairs for a drink before dinner, sitting outside under the majestic trees. Since we were not familiar with the area the hotel arranged for a car to take us to our restaurant and pick us up. Great service! After a fantastic night's sleep (it is so quiet at the Chateau), we went down for breakfast. Again, we sat outside. We both ordered the Chateau breakfast and it was huge! So many pastries and breads, fruit and juice, coffee and more. We felt bad we didn't finish even half of it. The following day we actually ordered just some eggs which came with baguette and that was plenty. Before we embarked on each day's journey Vlad would ask us what we were doing and make suggestions as to other points of interest. We took his advice and visited Les Baux de Provence, which was a short drive from the Chateau and then visited a local olive oil producer. It was a fun day. That night (and the following) the hotel arranged for a car, which was super convenient. When I mentioned the restaurant we had booked for our final night the front desk person said that it was not a good choice. He recommended another restaurant and made the reservation for us. As it turned out, the place he selected was fantastic and we were treated to a lovely sunset drive back from dinner. During our stay we did take advantage of the pool and laid around on chaise lounges. We didn't use the gym or the spa, however. Overall it was a wonderful stay. The property is well maintained and the staff is friendly and welcoming. We look forward to returning. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Incredible experience staying in this utterly charming Chateau. From the moment you enter the gates and drive up the tree lined drive you feel transported. The property is absolutely stunning, the rooms tastefully decorated and full of personal touches, the breakfast and dinner served in the park like setting outside were scrumptious. But what truly sets this place apart is the service. The staff went out of their way to meet our every need and made us feel so incredibly welcomed. A special thank you to Vlad and Ann, whose suggestions of places to visit, as well as attractions and restaurants to try were spot on, and we enjoyed getting to know them. Staying at Le Chateau des Alpilles was one of the highlights of our trip, and I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Thanks to all the team for a fabulous evening on Monday. Due to the weather we were dining in the library which was great. Food, people, setting were all wonderful. Stayed here a year ago and the experience was just as magical, and so good to see the same staff again.

This is possibly the hardest review I have done. The chateau from a distance is magnificent, beautiful, set in park-like grounds, lovely pool, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The sort of place to which everyone aspires to stay. But the rooms are a little disappointing, with relatively cheap fittings and a bath-shower - almost like the budget ran short. 3/5 might be harsh, but in that setting and particularly at that price point, it should be perfect. St Remy itself is 5/5 though … one of France’s best regional towns … great shops and restaurants and surrounding places to visit

Our favorite stay! Amidst wonderful grounds of massive trees and grass is this old castle offering an amazing stay and service to its residents! The pool is totally wonderful, relaxing, cool with a beautiful lunch menu - which differs every day. Tennis court for the sport lovers and a great flat surrounding area for those that want to run. The dinner set up is incredible! The food is amazing! The staff is super nice and helpful! Definitely, definitely, going back!!
