Château de Trigance

A special authentic place. The hotel is located in a real castle on top of a hill – it truly feels like you’re stepping back in time and staying as a feudal lord. A unique and memorable experience. There’s a lovely restaurant, and relaxing shared terrace with loungers and tables. The room was simple and a bit dated, and we were bothered by a strong chlorine and musty smell inside. Breakfast was modest – bread, croissants, cereal, fruit – no hot dishes. Free parking is available, which was very convenient. A stay here is worth it for the atmosphere, if you are not very sensitive to the smells.

We came across this exceptional place by coincidence, looking for a place to stay near Castellane (where the choice was limited). It is absolutely worth the small detour and the detour itself is of breathtaking beauty. The château offers a relatively small number of bedrooms, all of individual character and medieval charm, whilst having all the modern creature comforts you would expect. Private, secure parking is perfect for anyone driving the Route Napoléon with a classic car. I'm so impressed by the owners who have managed to make such a delightful place of what would otherwise be an austere, medieval building. And now I'll get to the best bit, the restaurant. We had an exquisite meal, the chef's got real talent. I had four pieces of tuna all prepared in different ways, accompanied by different declinations of watermelon (sounds weird but it was truly delicious), followed by a heavenly main of Wagyu beef and a cheese platter. I can't praise the chef enough. Some comments on this site refer to the restaurant as expensive. I would say it's great value. And the setting is unforgettable. And you can have the apéro downstairs in the beautiful vaulted salon, and even enjoy a game of pool in an oval room that even has queues adapted to the difficult angles. Well done guys, this hotel and it's restaurant is an exceptional achievement! And a special mention to the staff and especially the very attentive Hortense (?) who served us at dinner and breakfast.

Our stay at the castle in the French countryside was nothing short of magical. The interior design was authentically regal, making us feel like royalty from the moment we arrived. The staff exceeded our expectations, accommodating our every need, including setting up a rollaway bed for our odd number of children with ease. The location was ideal for our canyoning adventures, offering the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. The on-site restaurant served amazing food and graciously stayed open late to accommodate our late return. Enjoying drinks and cocktails on the outside deck before dinner was the perfect way to unwind. It was an absolutely perfect stay in every way.

This place is absolutely AMAZING! It is so peaceful and the staff is so lovely, We visited for one night this past July and I really can't say enough nice things. The food was incredible and the atmosphere was really like no other. Such a unique experience. After arriving we walked down to the small village of Trigance and it was so quaint, a true small village with no crowds. I would return in a heartbeat and would highly recommend!

The Medieval Castle was beautiful and the views are spectacular. Hortense was such a pleasant to deal with. She makes sure we have everything we have, answered all our questions and very welcoming. The food was delicious, we would go back.

We stayed at the Chateau for one night in August. Upon entering, we were greeted by wonderful staff. It felt as thought we had the whole Chateau to ourselves, with all of the individual attention. Manon showed us around the Chateau & to our room. It was already set up for our family of three. After a brief rest and time on our private terrace, we had aperitifs in the lounge and played some pool. The view from the panoramic terrace is breathtaking! The young couple that manage the property (hostess & chef) run a phenomenal operation. They are so kind & the dinner was absolutely amazing - 5 + stars. In the morning, we were served a wonderful continental breakfast with fresh French pastries, cheeses, fruit & granola. It all exceeded our expectations! We would recommend the Chateau de Trigance to all! See a few comments below from my husband regarding getting to the Chateau… Husband’s tips: When you cross the tiny bridge, turn right. DO NOT TURN LEFT! Apple Maps will not direct you to the parking lot, but to the area below the Chateau. In the morning, they will bring breakfast anywhere. If you would like to eat in your room or on the scenic terrace just ask. Their whole purpose seems to be to make their guests happy.
