Château de Mercuès

The stay was amazing. Very nice and clean accomodation.

A truly amazing place! The view is spectacular, and the service and the food are extraordinary. It‘s very well maintained (which is very hard work for such a place - an old castle). It‘s worth a stay!

Thoroughly recommend Chateau de Mercues, we had a wonderful stay and the surrounding area is amazing.

Beautiful Château steeped in history - only negative was no air conditioning in main bedroom although we had a second bedroom which had an air conditioning unit which helped cool the suite. Food gorgeous and attentive service.

We had an evening meal from the Bistro menu (restaurant closed that day) and one from the main restaurant menu. Both times we felt the meals were disappointing. Portion sizes small esp for this part of France. The flavours were not up to Michelin star rating. My husbands steak was dry and overcooked and my lobster was miniscule and mushy, and that was after waiting an hour for the food to arrive. Better meals can be had in nearby villages at a fraction of the price, less touristy, and with true French flavour. We didn't bother with the breakfast at 29 euros each. Our room had a private balcony with a magnificent view, and the room was comfortable in the gentrified, decrepit chateau style.

A most incredible property - a medieval castle/fortress on top of the hill overlooking the area. Beautifully restored with charmingly appointed rooms. Front desk staff good, however, restaurant staff was hopeless. It is a one Michelin star restaurant and the food is at a high level but the waiting staff is not up to scratch. They served us lukewarm white wine and it took them another hour to bring out the bottle of red and almost 2 hours to begin serving food. Just as bad was the wine tour which was conducted by a Young man half in English and half in French yet the he spent 90% of the time talking to the french crowd while we were forced to wait up to half an hour at a time for a 5 min speach. Have up in the end.

Gorgeous Château. Great location. Marvelous staff and amenities. Loved it.

First a caution. Our GPS (and we were told most GPS devices) will not get you to the hotel. Once you get to the town of Mercuès, follow the hotel’s signs not your GPS. The hotel is a true chateau with a long and interesting history. The building and grounds are lovely as are the rooms. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The restaurant is starred and the food is extremely good. Prices at the restaurant are somewhat high but generally in line with other comparable restaurants. The chateau is also a winery. If you like wine, it is worth a visit.

Beautiful, just before the season's close. If you like castle, wines, and outstanding food this is your place. Bonus: you can visit the castle's winery.

We had a fascinating room in one of the turrets. We cooled down (it was over 30C) by the outdoor pool. We sampled wines from the Cave. We ate at the Michelin 1-star restaurant. We enjoyed the vintage Jaguars from the antique car club that also stayed at the hotel. The only suggestion to make is to install a shower curtain around the bath for those who prefer to shower rather than bathe.
