Chateau Le Cagnard

Adorable hotel tucked inside a medieval village. The rooms are well-appointed and thoughtfully updated (AC and an elevator), while still keeping that fairytale charm of the town. The restaurant was outstanding with fantastic Scandinavian French dishes. Service, however, could be more attentive to match the high level of the food. Overall, a magical spot worth the stay.

It was difficult to find with Taxi dropping off. Unique and amazing place!

We had a wonderful stay and the views were just awesome and the splurge for dinner at the restaurant was worth it. Dinner was perfect as well as the views. The staff were great & very helpful. Do be mindful of parking disclosure from the hotel. You do need to be in shape for doing a lot of walking which is to be expected with staying in a 13th century medieval village.

Tough to get to. Up in the hills with very narrow streets so it’s hard for cars to get there. First time we arrived the uber dropped us off in the wrong area so we had to lug our luggage through cobble stone streets to the hotel entrance. Once we got to the hotel they gave us a different address to use for drop offs. The area around the hotel is confusing as well. Very narrow cobble stone streets and hills. Not the best for someone with bad knees. Room was nice and large. Very comfortable. Location is about 15-20mins from Nice. Difficult for some cars to get there as the streets are extremely narrow.

The village is beautiful and clean. The history goes of the accommodation goes back to the 13th century.

Charming, attentive staff, great views

Chateau Le Cagnard was a cute and quaint property but its location and access to transportation, especially when checking in or out with luggage is difficult.

The property was very beautiful and vintage look and character of the property and up keep was so beautiful. I was pleased with my room it exceed my expectations.

This is a charming hotel in a beautiful medieval village. The junior suite was very spacious with a large modern bathroom and a balcony with a great view. The restaurant has lovely views of the hills and the sea.

The views are stunning. My room was magnificent. There were good restaurants nearby.
My complaint is that there are accessibility issues. I did know this I advance but I was expecting a walk across a plaza not a difficult, steep and poorly signed maze of stairs and allies. It gets worse. The reception AND restaurant are down a steep and winding staircase. There were also steps into my room. I'm not going to change my recommendation or rating because the hotel is wonderful and a unique experience but feel compelled to warn other travelers that this might not be the hotel for them. The staff could have been more helpful. Breakfast and room service were modest but good. Dinner was exceptional.

One of the best hotels we’ve stayed at! Beautiful and remote which was relaxing. A little far from some of the more touristy spots in the area but worth staying here! Absolutely loved it and will return!

So this place is like a fairytale. Beautiful and ancient. The beds are dreamy and we slept so well. Just feels like you are immersed in the history and culture with absolutely stunning views.
Keep in mind when booking that it’s a lot of stairs and walking and you can’t drive to it. You must park a little ways away… if that doesn’t bother you, you’ll love this place.
Also what did it for us…. The staff were incredible. Absolutely lovely and friendly do anything to make your stay enjoyable, every single one of them.

I Absolutely loved this hotel! Came here with a friend and we had the sweetest time. parking was convenient down in the village with Jean-Paul, and Samuel picked us up safely when checking in and out. they gave us a free upgrade when the hot water didn't come on quickly in our room and we were very taken care of. The chateau is beautiful! request the cossettini room ** :)

Lovely medieval location - not a place for the infirm or unfit!

Great restaurant with friendly staff.

Had an amazing stay at the Cagnard. The hotel is beautiful and unique, would definitely recommend.

The property is not accessible by car. It is an old castle on top of a hill with a very narrow street that literally only a smart car/smallest Fiat can navigate. Any other car will get stuck (and have to get towed) or back up 200 meters with virtually no clearance on either side. Instead, you have to park in a cemetery parking lot and walk 15-20min up a very steep path (with luggage!) or ask the hotel to send a smart car to pick you up (very time consuming).

This is not highlighted in the hotel summary, there are no warning signs at the beginning of the narrow “street” leading to the hotel and there is no established valet service.

We booked the hotel because it is less than 15 minutes from the Nice airport. We indicated in the booking that we would be arriving at 11pm and spoke with hotel reception twice that day to keep them updated and make sure someone would be there for check-in.

Incredibly, no one told us about the accessibility issue. Therefore, we arrived late and tired only to drive our car down the long, narrow “street” to the point where we could drive no more and almost got stuck. We had to call the hotel and fortunately the night manager was able to help direct us while backing up 200 meters with virtually no clearance on either side. We then parked our car in the cemetery lot and he drove us to the hotel.

We were astonished to hear from him and morning reception that this happens regularly. There were also no towels in our bathroom and room smelled of smoke

Amazing customer service and beautiful hotel compound and surroundings. Walking hills are intense.

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed in, from the views to the rooms. All staff were very welcoming and the service at breakfast and dinner was perfect. Thank you so much! ☺️

Amazing and helpful staff. Good restaurant on site and Michelin level food available (if you can get a reservation) right around the corner at Fleur de Sel. Other reviews referenced the location as not being easily accessible. In fact, not all cars can make it easily to the property (especially vans), but the staff will come help with bags. All this requires is communication. Would stay here again and will recommend to friends and family.

Property is so charming and lovely. Only build is they must must must tell you that not only is there no parking at the hotel but don’t attempt to pull up to drop your bags….esp in a larger car. Road is very narrow. Property should send specific details upon booking to let guests know but after that blip was fantastic
