Set in enchanting gardens and woodland, the 19th century Chateau de Montcaud is four kilometers from the village of Bagnols sur Cèzes in the famous wine producing region of Côtes du Rhône. Guestrooms are decorated with colorful chintz fabrics and wallpapers, antique furniture and painted floors or tiling.
The hotel offers plenty to the active guest, with an outdoor swimming pool, fitness room, and sauna and Turkish bath to ease aching muscles. To the more indolent, the library, the bar and the babysitting service may appeal more. Lunch is served informally on the terrace of the Bistro, and the restaurant, Les Jardins de Montcaud, serves Provençal specialities at dinner. Breakfast is also available, with room service at limited times. The famous Roman viaduct of Pont du Gard is 25 kilometers away, and several regional airports are within 50 kilometer. Marseille International Airport is 125 kilometers away.
