One MICHELIN Key · A very special stay
There are castles, and then there are castles. This one dates back to the 1700s, which explains its unusual Italianate style, and only became a hotel in 2017, after three centuries as a private estate. Its setting, just to the north of Aix-en-Provence, endears it to wine lovers, as does the Fonscolombe winery itself, which produces organic reds, whites, and rosés. But the key to its appeal is that it’s quite simply the most luxurious hotel for many miles around.
Of its 50 rooms, 13 are set in the landmark castle building, which means they’ve got more character (and beautiful garden views) in exchange for slightly less space. Still, this isn’t Paris — square footage is ample all the way up and down the range, and the recent renovation means up-to-date modern comforts are universal as well, including a spa occupying the old stables.
One of the best things about any chateau is the opportunity to wander acres and acres of grounds, and that’s certainly the case here. Just stick close by at mealtimes: La Table de l’Orangerie is the one-MICHELIN-Star gastronomic restaurant, and it’s supplemented by the all-day restaurant Le Temps Suspendu.

The hotel is a chateau in a vineyard. The vast grounds are breathtakingly beautiful, complete with a chapel, stables (with a pair of donkeys), guard towers, gazebos, and piscine. Our corner suite was generous (in area and ceiling height), elegantly appointed with artisanal furniture, and with picture perfect views of the chateau grounds from three sets of windows. The multiple reading rooms, sitting rooms and library meant I could work/Zoom at odd hours (with colleagues in different time zones) in privacy in a beautiful setting.

This is a superb hotel in a fabulous setting. Faultless service and excellent food. It is secluded , yet within a short distance of many places of interest.
