Château Cagnard is an amazingly charming and picturesque hotel. Beautiful lounges and tasteful provençal decor in the bedrooms. Lots of quirky medieval passages. Our room had a spectacular view towards Antibes. Staff were friendly and helpful and offer a pick-up service from the railway, bus station and parking lots. The restaurant has a wonderful view from the terrace and served good, tasty food. There was however one blemish. Coffee served at breakfast came from a machine and was virtually undrinkable. Perhaps it needed an adjustment or better coffee beans? The hot water for tea came from a thermos and was not hot enough to make a proper brew either. Breakfast is served from 8:00 to 10:00 am. We came down at 8:30 and the buffet was partly empty even though not many tables were occupied, for example, there was just one little piece of smoked salmon and four slices of chèvre.…

My husband and I had a lovely stay at the Chateau. Our rooms was spacious and had a lovely view of the sea. The daily breakfast consisted of coffee, teas, and various juices, as well as croissants, pastries, fruit, and breakfast meats. Meals at the restaurant were also lovely. Unfortunately, on our daily walk from the Renoir suite to the hotel, we passed a painting depicting a parade with black men wearing a small cloth, surrounded by white people, fully clothed. My husband and I are black, and it made us quite uncomfortable.

Unique experience if you are looking to stay in a medieval setting. The rooms are on the smaller size (typical for EU) but very comfortable, the bed was my favorite part! the linens so soft and luxurious… they also carry Gemology toiletries which is always a plus with that delicious scent the French brand is known for. The views are phenomenal and the restaurant is just ok! make sure you make a reservation even if you are staying at the property or they will not sit you down! I would recommend it for a unique experience and wonderful views but the restaurant could be skipped! instead head up the town and check out the wonderful little spots they have up top! Parking: if you bring a car you must park at the planastel parking lot for about €16 - 20 per night at the bottom of the town, they will come pick you up from the hotel! streets are extremely narrow so they don’t allow you to drive to the hotel.…

I've been coming here every now and again for over 20 years, and it is always was the place of dreams: a tiny medieval village lost in time right above the bustling city of Nice, and a stone's throw from the airport. The village of course has become much more touristic, but sadly the magic at this chateau hotel has all but disappeared. They redid it a few years ago, and not for the better. Today it just seems tired and dated and worst of all bland. The strong chateau/fortress decorations have gone along with the sophistication that accompanied them. This was a hotel of luxe, and now it feels like a sad B&B that has seen better days. Apparently the present owner is Scandinavian, which might explain the taste, which is definitely ersatz vanilla. The present staff are young, coldly pleasant and without charm, but nothing like the professional staff they used to have, and who knew exactly how to serve the carriage trade. Maybe that's for a reason, as I don't think the carriage trade stops here any more. Such a pity, as Le Cagnard was always such a high class and insider place to stay. Hiring a top hotel staff, getting a bold historically rooted decorator ( or perhaps an opera designer!) and banning vanilla should be what the owner does. Let's see if he make this chateau into something special again. Right now it is a boring yawn. Finally a note on the parking. Years ago one would drive up the tiny narrow streets and usually ding one's car. It was crazy, but worth it. Now the hotel too sensibly says park in public parking way down the hill and call them and they will pick you up. It is unglamourous, and dangerous if you leave anything in your unattended car and don't want to take all your things up to your room. So a final note to the owner: buy or construct a covered parking lot nearby with 24 hour security and a chic vehicle to ferry guests. Not some nasty little car as at present. The whole enterprise needs to be seamless and magical.…

Staying at the chateau was one of the most wonderful and unique hotel experiences I've had. While tricky to find and navigate if driving a car, the location of the hotel is beautiful. The steep, cobbled streets provide an unforgettable and uniquely French experience. Our breakfast each morning was delicious! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We also had dinner one night, which was truly amazing. I believe it was my favorite meal of the trip! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this hotel.

My wife and I spent a week here. The place is magical. We had a beautiful suite with a patio that overlooked the Mediterranean. The rooms were large and comfortable. We were just down the hill from the Grimaldi Castle and the village plaza with Boules courts, great restaurants and shops. The best part of staying here was the hotel staff. From our very first encounter with Thibaud, to the care and great food served by the restaurant and bar manager, Sammy, to the morning smiles and wonderful service of Lucie at breakfast. Even before we arrived, my correspondence with the staff was exceptional. Accommodating, kind and caring! We made the hotel our home base which was extremely convenient for day trips up and down the coast and inland to incredible places like St. Paul de Vence. All in all, we would go back to the Chateau and the south of France in a heartbeat.…

The place is absolutely beautiful. Very old and authentic, it might lack some air extraction in the bathroom though. On the flip side, we had to wait 25 minutes in the parking lot for them to pick us up with our luggages. The fiat panda could not hold our luggages so we had to walk up. Also, I wanted to buy a gift from their gift armoire but they did not have the key!

Dear Weho69, We thank you for sharing your experience on tripadvisor and we are pleased that you appreciated your stay with us . We are sorry that you had to wait for your transfer to the hotel . The occupation was very high this season and it may happen that we have several arrivals at the same time . To drive in the small streets we have a small car otherwise a full car is generally suffcient to drive the guests and their luggages . We remain available if you want more informations about our boutique and can send you a gift if you are still interested.

Firstly i do not understand the review before me, don't stay in a 12th century chateau if you don't like the old... and some bugs are something natural in an old building, and really what was wrong with the breakfast? we enjoyed the continental BF every morning of our stay, great cold meat, cheeses and a great cappuccino machine where you could make your own coffee or tee. Bread was nice and freshly baked...also the jams tasted homemade. anyway we did enjoy our 3 nights at this beautiful old chateau. Our room was clean and spacious, we had one with a fantastic view over the city and ocean. On our first night we booked the dinner at the hotel, simply delicious food and especially the service of the maître di, Sam was outstanding. I have to say that the entire staff (from driver to manager) were very professional and friendly. . If you look for something special ....Just around the corner, some 50 meters from the entrance is a fantastic silver/gold smith "Esty Grossman Handmade Jewelry", a Canadian lady who does amazing sea and ocean inspired jewelry. spoil yourself!…

We are experienced travellers with lots of stays in luxury hotels around the world. We spent a few nights at Le Cagnard and really don’t understand the good reviews. We see this totally different. It was our worst stay ever. It’s old and moisty. It’s absolutely not up to 4 stars regarding cleanliness, nor services. Breakfast is terrible, unless you like herring in a jar (?). The hotel may boast upon its medieval charm, well indeed, we felt in the middle ages. And the worst is yet to come : bugs ! With horrific bites as a consequence. This is a two star place, but with the pretentiousness of charging as a four star hotel. Never, never again.
