Chateau De La Messardiere

I have finally found the best hotel. We’ve stayed at so many incredible hotels, including Airelles in Gordes, but none will ever compare to this one. They have thought of EVERYTHING. Olga kindly took us around the whole property on a golf cart since my parents couldn’t walk well. The hotel has a nice balance of action near the dining and main pool, but total exclusivity and quiet at the same time. We booked two pool suites (one for my husband and I along with our parents) since they were newly renovated. It included a shaded cabana right outside your door at the pool. This was also great for my parents who struggle with walking since the pool suites are also located by the bar and restaurants. Our backyard terrace had a garden with roses, rosemary, lavender, and eucalyptus. There was a great double sink bathroom with a tub and rain shower. The food is incredible. Having both breakfast and and lunch along with the beach club included is the big draw to this property. Pierre at La Table was so kind. Service everywhere is so good…. I saw the pool staff meticulously lining up the pool chairs and measuring to make sure they were in perfect alignment…. that’s the kind of detail you don’t find anywhere else. We loved all the gyms - both indoor and outdoor. The bar in the gym will make complimentary protein shakes which we loved. Their trainer Yoann was the best. The spa was amazing. Huge sauna, steam room with cold plunge, and the treatment rooms are stunning. We had to leave at 6am and the hotel gladly took a breakfast and coffee order the day before and had it already booked packed nicely in our car. Their town car system is flawless and they have a nice lounge in town for you to sit in while you wait for a ride. We don’t have kids, but the kid’s summer camp almost made me want to because it looked amazing! The complimentary pizza served with our drinks at the bar was a nice touch too! The only thing we didn’t love was the sushi restaurant Matsuya. We have a Nobu at home and this one wasn’t nearly as good and extremely overpriced in my opinion. We plan on coming back next year. I just really hope things don’t change once the White Lotus show releases due to crowds.

This property is absolutely stunning. We tried to get a dinner reservation here, but only could get a reservation for drinks. We went after a big dinner but honestly had we known our drinks would come with pizza and snacks we might have skipped or eaten a smaller dinner. The musical entertainment added to the experience and of course the views!

Jalonnais restaurant with terrible service; dishes arriving with the sauce after the main course, the rice 10 minutes later, and exorbitant prices that have no relation to the products served—what a shame, because the view is exceptional.
