My husband and I were in the south of France for 3 weeks and we stayed at Le Chateau des Alpilles for three nights....and already I wished we had stayed even longer! This is without a doubt, one of the finest hotels I have ever stayed...anywhere in the world. Superlatives just can't do this hotel justice. Pulling into the 100+ year old tree-lined drive of the property, you immediately see the Chateau and think of it as a palace. We were immediately greeted by Vlad, the best valet, porter, greeter, front desk person we've ever met (sorry we didn't get to see him on his motorcycle, but that's another story!!). Honestly, the entire hotel staff was excellent...for the waitress at breakfast to the front desk people helping with taxis and dinner reservations. The staff is all attentive, professional, friendly and available. Fantastic. The physical property is beyond description! From the swimming pool, tennis courts, lawn lounging chairs, spa, koi pond/fountain, outdoor dining and fantastic bar....every aspect of this hotel is perfection. Everything is exceptionally well maintained, thought out, and available whenever a guest needs it. Our room was spectacular...spacious, well appointed, comfortable chairs, plenty of storage space (and drawers!). The bed was heaven and the bathroom, with it's double vanity, had plenty of space and fantastic water pressure! One of thousands of noticed details...the windows all have screens on them, so you can actually sleep with the windows opened at night (to hear the frogs!) without fear of being eaten alive by bugs...Brilliant thinking. Rarely would I select a hotel first and the destination second...generally we agree on a town/city and then pick a hotel accordingly. But in the case of Le Chateau des Alpilles, I would definitely come back for 4-5 nights just to spend ever minute at the hotel. It was THAT good! Thanks to everyone for taking such good care of us!...We'll definitely be back.
