I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Château de Fonscolombe for a week, and words hardly do justice to the experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt as though I had stepped into another world—one of elegance, tranquility, and genuine hospitality.
The grounds are nothing short of breathtaking: sprawling, lush, and perfectly maintained, offering a sense of peace and escape that is hard to find anywhere else. Walking among the massive cedar trees, I was transported back in time to my homeland, a deeply moving and grounding experience that made this estate feel even more special. Whether strolling through the gardens or relaxing by the 24/7 pool, I was surrounded by beauty at every turn.
The housekeeping team was flawless—my room felt pristine and refreshed every single day, a true testament to their dedication and attention to detail.
But what truly set my stay apart was the incredible hospitality. Every staff member radiated warmth, professionalism, and a sincere desire to make my stay perfect. A special mention must go to Liticia, who went above and beyond for me on multiple occasions. She not only ensured that I was always comfortable but also personally helped me navigate stressful and costly rental car issues. Her care, foresight, and dedication quite literally saved me more than once—and I will be forever grateful for her kindness.
Equally noteworthy was the classy touch of the manager personally reaching out to me, reinforcing that sense of being genuinely cared for and valued as a guest.
The 25/7 concierge service (yes, they truly feel like they never sleep!) was an invaluable luxury, always ready to assist with any request—no matter the hour. Combined with the estate’s timeless charm, ancient cedars, and flawless amenities, it created the feeling of having everything I could possibly need at my fingertips.
One note to the hotel: The food options are pricy and did not change during my stay, which I understand. But a rotating menu could help this for guests staying more than a week. The food was good, just over priced.
In short, Château de Fonscolombe is far more than a five-star hotel—it’s an experience, a sanctuary, and a memory I will treasure forever. If you are fortunate enough to stay here, you will be treated not just as a guest, but as family.
