The Luxury of Simplicity
Situated in the heart of a large park which features a number of iconic trees, the Château de Montcaud is the perfect hideaway for gourmets and pleasure-seekers who appreciate sleek elegance and extraordinary gastronomy.
Château de Montcaud was built in the 19th century by a silk trader as a cheerful answer to the rigorism prevailing at the time, and a humanistic tradition was instilled by it’s founding family.
Welcome to the luxury of simplicity. At Château de Montcaud we define fulfilment not as the feeling of abundance, of having more of everything, of going higher and higher, faster, further. Instead, we pare things down to the essentials: modern comfort, exceptional gastronomy, and personalized service.
Ideally located between Avignon and Uzès, in the heart of a region rich in history and nature, Château de Montcaud is the perfect starting point for discovery and a peaceful oasis to find rest and relaxation.
A stroll through nature
Gardens & park
Château de Moncaud is surrounded by five hectares (12 acres)of gardens and park lands. When the chateau was built in the mid 19th century, the dreamy, romantic garden was a playful, light-hearted answer to the strict, geometric designs of the current period. The founding family's love for nature is still reflected in the park today; century-old trees are abundant on the property, and fragrant gardens grow alongside woods and meadows.

Rooms & suites
If you had to find a word that perfectly sums up the interior design in our rooms and suites, it would be épuré – a French word that can be translated as clean, refined or classic. The rooms and suites are designed to allow you to relax after a busy day, escape the bright sunlight of southern France, and recharge your batteries for another day of adventure and excitement.
