Château Le Cagnard

Wow, what a location. Thankfully we did our research and had read other reviews that we needed to park outside the village as you'd only every get the smallest of cars to the hotel. A quick phone call when we parked up (cemetery car park is free 24hrs) and they sent a nice chap (Eric?) down to pick us up in a little Fiat 500. The walk up/down to the car which I did in the evening is hard work. The restaurant/food was amazing, really enjoyed that and a stunning view of the sea and beyond. The next morning we ventured further up into the medieval village and up the castle, really worth doing. They have a tiny pool (indoors technically) but has jets/waterfalls and a resistance pool allowing you to swim in it. The hotel itself was stunning and multi-levelled, our room was across the road, when we entered the hotel we'd need to go up two different stairs to exit the street above, it reminds you how steep the location is. Staff were amazing, made us feel very welcome, special thanks to Fiona who went the extra mile to ensure wedding anniversary was extra special. The room was stunning, ours actually had two air-con units, which we really appreciated as it was close to 40c that day. Very comfortable bed, secure (we slept with balcony doors open). Will stay again!

The room was really comfortable, and downright beautiful. We were upgraded to a Junior Suite without extra pay, which was really awesome. The pool, even though only indoors, was a welcome relief from the extreme heat. The medieval village is a hidden gem, and worth exploring for a day. Even though we visited during peak tourist season, it was never full of people.

Wonderfull, elegant hotel in a lovely beautiful village. We had a great view from our room towards the sea. Easy parking (robotic) at the entrance to this beautiful hilly village. We called the front desk and within minutes one of the hotel staff came to pick us up to the hotel. We paid about 12 euros parking there from 15pm-11am . (Apparently you can park at the cemetery at the entrance to the village free of charge and they will pick you up from there). The restaurant is very good! Very kind and helpful staff.

Exceptional rooms with great views, spacious and very comfortable. The rooms, the hotel in general, and the hilltop village it sits in were all absolutely beautiful and atmospheric. Dinner at the restaurant was excellent.

We had stayed here many years ago and were looking forward to returning. We were not disappointed. We were very kindly upgraded to a beautiful spacious bedroom with a small balcony. Dinner in the restaurant on the open terrace was very good. The Sisteron Lamb was delicious and also the perfumed carpaccio dessert. The reception staff were so kind and helpful with recommendations. We can’t thank enough the lovely young lady who personally drove us down to meet our taxi to the airport which was unable to reach us in time due to extreme weather which had caused a very bad traffic jam. Thank you again! If you are looking for a tranquil stay away from the crowds we would definitely recommend Chateau Le Cagnard. There are also a couple of nice friendly restaurants in the village square with a good menu choice.
