Domaine de Châteauvieux

It is a campaign hotel, with very good instalations. The restaurant is the best, fantastic chef, I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service.

The hotel has a "Relais & Chateaux" label and is meant to be a wine hotel. Well... It's NOT a winery, and it's not a R&C like hotel. There's no pool, no spa, not even a good chair or place to sit to have a view to the garden and river. The building is very beautiful and has a lot of flowers but that's all. The service at the reception is poor, nobody is caring if you arrived at the hotel, there was no welcoming when checking in.. They were almost acting like doing a favor. The bedroom is old, the mattress is hard and not confortable. The shower has no pressure and not good drainage. The restaurant is Michelin starred but is only a OK dinner, not worthing the price. At the check out they tried to charge me for the stay, but it was PREPAID. After some time and phone calls from the receptionist they found out that it was prepaid. An unnecessary stress. I wouldn't stay again even if it was for free.

Very charming room (far away from the standard design hotel that you can find everywhere) and very good local food for breakfast.

Really enjoyed the hotel and the setting. We wish they had more information about the hotel's history available. The staff were friendly and accommodating.

The hotel was relaxing and the service was great. We had a wonderful dinner in the restaurant and breakfast was one of the best we have ever had, We will definitely be back.

Beautiful location, an oasis of peace and calm. Superbly clean, ample parking, enticing terrace(s) and great views over vineyard. Don't miss a stroll through the herb garden. A nice touch is the (delicious) complimentary cake and cookie in the room upon arrival.

Overall, the place was fantastic although I would have given a higher rating for a better A/C in the room instead of the cranky, noisy retro-fitted contraption which was astonishingly bad and unusable during the night because of the noise (see photos). My stay was during a heatwave but thankfully it had cooled off during night. Neither did the in-room coffee machine work to which staff were indifferent and did nothing to find a solution. If you're like me and need a coffee first thing in the morning its really a very bad start to the day. I travelled with a pet and although the hotel is pet friendly, there wasn't much to make their stay more agreeable. No drinking bowel, no snacks, no basket, but worst of all, no garbage can(s) outside in any of the common areas where it would have been possible to dispose of "doggy waste" hygienically after taking the pet for a walk. Surely this is also in the interest of the hotel? This should be an absolute minimum. Breakfast was just "ok" with not as much variety as would have been expected from such an establishment. Neither was there anything warm such as eggs offered. (Single) staff member seemed to be rushed off his feet, leading to an excruciatingly long wait for coffee. Neither was a second coffee offered. Although some people who stay here might be insensitive to price, it felt as though breakfast was grossly over-priced for the variety and service received which was, sadly well below par. Some of the staff came across as being somewhat aloof. Particularly unfriendly was the gentleman in the gourmet store where he made you feel like an intruder, made no effort to smile nor explain any of the products or wines in an understandable manner when asked. I had gone in to buy a couple of cases of wine but decided against it.
