Chateau de la Gaude is a stunning property, with excellent on site dining experiences, beautifully appointed, modern rooms, and a spectacular garden. What keeps this hotel from being a five star experience for me, was the rather lackluster staff. No one was rude, just moderately not helpful.

Beautiful property, food was great. Only thing lacking was the irregular turndown service and service at Le Source - after main course waiter disappeared waited 20 minutes to order a dessert, gave up and went to the bar to ask for the bill. Management seems overrun and restaurant staff didn’t seem to be able to think straight and serve customers effectively and efficiently. Appears they can co-ordinate landing a helicopter on the lawn but not taking a dessert order unfortunately.

This hotel claims to be five stars do not stay here they stole my clothes that were in my room an then when I called front desk to report the cleaning staff stole these items they said nothing was brought to our attention and dismissed my concerns as if they took no responsibility. I have to dispute my charge just to regain compensation for a very delicate item that was stolen. Be careful do not stay here the cleaning staff steals items.
