Château De La Pioline

“A Magical chateau ”

I had read about the reviews stating this chateau was in the middle of an industrial area, which is true.

I had read about the reviews stating this chateau was in the middle of an industrial area, which is true. However, when our taxi drove down the beautiful tree-lined lane and we saw this gorgeous chateau lit up with a fountain I was amazed. We were greeted by Pascal who was so friendly. We were escorted to a large family suit with French doors out to our own garden. Heaven. There was a mix up with the booking agency and they were not aware there were two children. He solved this problem promptly by making up beds for them. This was such a special place. There is a convenient bus into town that leaves every 30 minutes. The pool was large, the breakfast in the garden delicious, and the grounds beautiful. I highly recommend chateau pioline.

“Beautiful setting”

The setting of the hotel is very beautiful and peaceful. There is a nice terrace for reading as well as eating breakfast. The pool is refreshing and surrounded by a forest. Our room was spacious and very quiet. Shower was a little awkward to operate. The dinner was amazing - very thoughtful and delicious. The staff were attentive and professional. There is a nice spread at breakfast with lots of options, but a little disorganized. The downside is the location - tucked into an industrial area, so you cannot walk to anything else. So, it is great place to stay for a night while in transit.

“Nice hotel in not a nice location”

“Original but medium quality and expensive”

The best thing is that you can sleep in an old chateau. It is located in a commercial/industrial area surrendered by car dealers, hyper-markets... but also by a nice garden that helps to forget the outside area.

The best thing is that you can sleep in an old chateau. It is located in a commercial/industrial area surrendered by car dealers, hyper-markets... but also by a nice garden that helps to forget the outside area. The staff is (just) good and the hotel has surprisingly 4 stars despite the limited facilities (rooms, restaurant and extremely small business area). I guess that the one Michelin star Restaurant has helped in that regards. The price is quite high (I.e 1 liter water bottle for 8 euros or New Year’s Eve dinner for 290 euros) for what you get. Rooms and furniture require upgrading but the beds are extremely clean and confortable.
