Yes! One thing. This Chateau is one of a group of 4 and I can tell you I am visiting the other 3. Superlatives and buckets of praise would seem a bit over done. But they aren't!!! And I don't like to share too much about Châteauzen because it will be invaded and overrun by the hordes looking for that next Instagrammable location, "discovering" something best kept secret. So I will keep it secret and won't tell you about the incredible service, the interior, the exterior, the hamman, the sauna, the pool (heated), the suit of armour on the stairs, the breakfast and dinner in totally fabulous settings. I won't tell you about the total "zen-ness" of the the place, the setting, vistas, scents nor about the staff who deserve oodles of praise. No I am keeping all that to myself.....
