Chateau de Berne

One of the most stunning hotels we have had the pleasure of staying at. Every member of staff went above and beyond, the food was a next level gastronomic delight…..simply wow! A return trip will be in the diary sooner rather than later.

I stayed here here as part of an Eat Pray Move retreat and loved it! We enjoyed the property and did day trips as well. Beautiful property and service! My room was beautiful, the pool was excellent for swimming laps, the breakfast buffet was amazing with something for everyone. I loved the detox juices, fresh strawberries, and dates with an espresso while many raved about the chocolate croissants. We hiked around the property with coniferous trees, a waterfall and place to dip our feet, vineyards… all so healing and beautiful. My massage at the spa was excellent. The dinners were delicious. Fresh towels and water appeared in my room without ever seeing anyone deliver them! I would return happily and would likely use the bicycles.

The grounds and setting at Château de Berne are truly beautiful — the vineyards, architecture, and peaceful atmosphere make for a breathtaking escape. However, the experience was let down by the service, which felt rigid and unwelcoming. We stayed one night and arrived around 4 PM. I asked for a second room key, which is a pretty standard request at any hotel, and was told rather curtly that they only give out one. The next morning, I asked if we could extend our checkout by just 30 minutes to an hour — again, the answer was a flat-out no, with no effort to accommodate or even acknowledge the request politely. The staff made it clear it “wasn’t their problem.” It’s unfortunate that such a beautiful property is let down by a lack of flexibility and warmth from the team. For a five-star relais & château, I expected a much higher level of hospitality. We stay at their sister hotel in St Paul De Vence every year, and the experience didn’t match.

The Chateau de Berne was amazing. It was one of the most beautiful and peaceful settings of any hotel I have visited. I had asked the hotel to book a guide for a day and an atv outing… Both were fantastic. The ATV trip through a neighboring vineyard was amazing fun and the day long tour to the gorge and moustiers ste marie Was absolutely worthwhile our guide Julian was terrific. The hotel did a great job. Our suite was unparalleled we had a huge living room and massive bedroom with large terrace. The service was impeccable but understated. And the shower was a 10+ The pool is beautiful and we really enjoyed our afternoons sitting poolside. Breakfasts were lovely…. eaten outside in the courtyard. We ate two nights in their casual dining. The food was simple, but good. Their pizzas were exceptional. We ate at the Michelin starred restaurant one night. Quite frankly, I did not think it was exceptional, but we are not foodies. we truly prefer the more casual dining venue. Overall, it was a perfect provincial stay!

I was WoWed by the Facility the food, and the super friendliness of the Hotel staff. Not to mention the SPA is on another level. The 5 course dinner with the Chef in the Kitchen was amazing, but to Long for me (took roughly 2h15min in total). If you have the patient for that go for it you will love it.
