Château de Montcaud

The Château de Montcaud in Provence is a place of tranquility, style and exceptional cuisine. Constructed by a wealthy silk trader in 1848, the property has been lovingly restored according to a philosophy its current owner describes as le luxe de la simplicité, the luxury of simplicity. Five hectares of immaculate gardens and verdant parkland, returned to their original design from 1892, surround the main building. Inside, polished parquet floors, stuccoed ceilings and silk panels over the headboards attest to the chateau’s rich heritage. The sumptuous décor is met with modern function and comfort, making the Château de Montcaud a perfect setting for the AXOR Montreux collection.

AXOR Montreux was inspired by the Belle Époque, a period of great cultural wealth, technological advancement and fundamental change. The collection combines outstanding modern technology with an authentic design reminiscent of the first industrially manufactured mixers. At the Château de Montcaud, guests will discover high spout faucets with cross handles at the washbasins and floor-standing faucets with hand shower at the tub.

The Château de Montcaud was built as one man’s dream estate. Today, everyone who stays here can experience that dream. Thanks to the current owner’s philosophy of luxurious simplicity, an air of ease, calm and serenity pervades the hotel and its grounds. Even the cuisine, uncomplicated but exquisite, contributes to this mood.
A thoughtful renovation has preserved the estate’s heritage by making it relevant to guests today. Much like AXOR Montreux, the Château de Montcaud updates the beauty of the past for the 21st century.

„Als wir das Château übernommen haben, erkannten wir die Chance, das Gebäude nicht nur zu renovieren, sondern es auf den neuesten Stand zu bringen. Die moderne und zugleich authentische Kollektion AXOR Montreux passte perfekt zu unserem Plan.“ - Rolf Bertschi, Geschäftsführer des Château de Montcaud.
