Very good place. We had a pleasant stay. The receptionist was very helpful
The hotel was beautiful. We arrived at 16:00, quickly checked in and took a stroll in the town. The night views of the hotel is fantastic. We had a comfortable stay. I had requested for charging for my EV, and it was possible to do it during the night. We were on route to Barcelona and this was a perfect spot for us to relax for the evening and enjoy the town / Grignan Chateau and views from the top. Would definitely recommend the hotel. Next time, we will plan for a few more days!!

The whole stay was charming
The hotel and assortment of associated rooms are in the bottom of a charming village which was obviously a 'destination' as it was pretty crowded on 15 August. The welcome was warm and helpful, our beautiful room with excellent facilities was in a separate house just down the street. We were able to park our car close to the hotel and walked to La Ferme, their bistro restaurant for an excellent open air dinner. The service and menu obviously had an eye to Michelin ambitions so it was not cheap but very pleasant. The location was beautiful particularly on a fine summer evening.
beautiful garden
Provençal style !!

This place is wonderful off the beaten path in a tourist town you can’t tell it’s geared for tourists. She had a wonderful experience many thanks for the form desk clerk he was very helpful to us
Delightful stay with the best breakfast ever
Beautiful location set in a very quaint 'magical' village. Friendly staff. Beautiful building and court yard. Dog-friendly, including provisions - bowls, treats, beds etc. Treats for us too - cookies and nougat! Bathroom with a bath, slippers, robe, toiletries etc. Parking available very close to the hotel. Lovely bistro within a short walking distance. Lovely restaurant on site that we took breakfast in - which has to be the best breakfast ever. I would return just for the breakfast. Warm, cosy and smelled nice everywhere! :)
Beautiful stay
The room was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable. Perfectly located in the heart of Grignan, it’s an ideal place to stay when visiting the town.

Sumptuous Luxury in a Stunning Historical Setting: Impeccable Service & Quintessential Ambience
The architecture and interior design of this series of buildings comprised by Le Clair de la Plume was exemplary: I had already visited it in Grignan as a tourist (they have a gift shop with their own products) and knew how stunning it is. Service was impeccable, the breakfast was sumptuous including some lovely champagne. There were wonderful touches such as locally produced bespoke foods & toiletries. The south facing views over the village and chatea were equally stunning both during the night & day. Centrally located, unfortunately it wasn't warm enough to try the outdoor pools. One call to reception for a local affiliated restaurant booking.

A well-deserved little gourmet break during the city tour.
A wonderful birthday evening with my daughter in this fabulous restaurant. A perfect dinner overlooking the castle. The service was truly outstanding thanks to the wonderful staff. As for the food, we thoroughly enjoyed everything from the cocktails to the dessert. Thank you to the entire team.
We spent a wonderful weekend at the hotel and were lucky enough to dine at the exceptional Michelin-starred restaurant. The staff takes great care of their guests. Thank you for this unforgettable experience.
The town of Grignan and the hotel are located in the beautiful Drôme region. The rooms are small but nice. The food is a 7/10. Unfortunately, the service is only moderately friendly. The hotel has developed wonderfully.
At the restaurant, the new team is doing wonders: the dishes are perfectly cooked, the flavors varied and just right. For me, special mentions go to the Thai squash and the paella (very, very revisited), which alone are worth the trip. The desserts are beautiful, original, and extremely successful. Bravo🙌🙌🙌 Outstanding sommelier. Very nice wine list at reasonable prices for this category of establishment. Great service Hotel in a beautiful Provençal village with affordable rooms and attentive staff Thank you all
A romantic and charming hotel! What a change of scenery right in the heart of a lovely little village! The outdoor pool boasts an incredible view! The gourmet dinner was delicious, with original dishes. Although the room decor wasn't to my taste (a bit dated), I had a wonderful night. I highly recommend this hotel for a gourmet and romantic getaway—a truly unique experience!
I liked it
A great place full of character! The meat is excellent, a butcher's cut with a delicious Provençal sauce! Friendly service
Very welcoming. We ate very well.
Really great place. The locals are down-to-earth and helpful, warm welcome.
We ordered two birthday cakes and a fruit tart during our visit to Grignan. Excellent, very very good. And so kind, it was perfect.
What can I say, everything is perfect.!!!! Excellent family stay.
⭐ A very friendly place! ⭐ From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the setting: 🏛️ magnificent old stone buildings tastefully renovated in an authentic Provençal style 🌿. The garden is immaculate and so pleasant, especially during aperitifs 🍷, with that warm breeze caressing your shoulders 🌬️. The interior is spacious, open, and cozy 🛋️, creating a cozy atmosphere conducive to conversation 💬 and tasting 🍽️. The service is top-notch 👌: a team that is professional, warm 🤝, and discreet, led by a very kind maître d'hôtel 😊. The service is fast ⚡, efficient, and friendly 😄. And the food... a real treat 😋! A very fine pea and mint velouté 🥣🌱, followed by a pork dish of the day 🐖: tender meat and perfectly cooked baby potatoes 🥔… Simple, but very well cooked 👨🍳. Everything was perfect from start to finish ✅. An exquisite moment ✨ that magnificently rounded off our day of visiting Grignan 🏰. A 5-star review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for a 5-star team and an exceptional venue! 👏 Bravo and thank you for the welcome ❤️
With a group of 38 people, we were delighted with the venue, the organization and all the staff were perfect.
Very surprised: generous and fresh dishes, fast and friendly service despite the crowds and the heat
Very cute hotel with attentive staff! Dog-friendly, so really great!
Friendly and professional welcome and service 👍 Quality charcuterie board and fish & chips. Delicious homemade ice cream. Very large selection of wines from local winemakers. Very good value for money. Shaded terrace. I recommend...without moderation.
A magnificent property, ideally located just steps from the tourist center, with a warm welcome, a spacious and quiet room, comfortable bed, a well-equipped and clean bathroom, a view of the castle, on-site dining (Le Bistrot), and a generous breakfast which can be enjoyed in the garden (weather permitting, and we were lucky enough to have it!). There's also a large heated swimming pool (which we were also fortunate enough to use). In short, we had an excellent stay and have definitely added it to our list, as we will be returning with great pleasure.
An incredible view, attentive staff, lush vegetation, excellent food, a remarkably efficient establishment! We will definitely return.
Very nice shop and warm welcome. You'll want to buy everything.
Having stayed at the Hotel Le Clair de la Plume, I was delighted to discover their boutique with a wide selection of typical regional products. The saleswoman is incredibly kind, well-traveled, and passionate about her region. Don't hesitate to ask her any questions to better experience Grignan and its surroundings. I would like to thank the saleswoman for her professionalism and dedication to her boutique. Hats off!
Great cake, small shop but lots of good things
Simply perfect in terms of service and divine meal.
Very nice place with a magnificent terrace overlooking Grigan Castle Welcoming and good food I recommend
This review is for the Chapouton Farm Bistro. Excellent from the welcome to the service. Superb setting. We received a warm welcome. A young, smiling, and very friendly team. The kitchen team excels; the dishes are divine, bursting with flavor. Tasty and refined dishes without being over the top—just what we love. We will definitely be back. A wonderful time for two.
Hello, the hotel is perfectly located in the Drôme Provençale, 300m from the charming village of Grignan. The staff are extremely friendly, a special mention goes to the person at breakfast, which is plentiful with quality products. The bedding is extremely comfortable and the hotel is very quiet. I had a very pleasant stay 👌.
A truly magnificent experience at a Michelin-starred restaurant, simply sublime. The welcome was perfect, the staff perfect, and a glass of champagne at breakfast was a lovely touch! We've been to many restaurants, including Michelin-starred ones, but this one remains a real gem. Thank you for welcoming our beloved little dog! Wishing you continued success and a long life, and hope to see you again soon! Pomel.
The afternoon tea service is a unique experience offered by this establishment and even rarer in this region. The service is impeccable and the staff attentive. The atmosphere is warm and elegant, in addition to delicious pastries accompanied by exquisite tea. I highly recommend Ferme Chapouton, both for its location and its services; I am delighted.
Very good products, well cooked, fast and friendly service, highly recommended
Lunch at the winery. Excellent butcher's cut, very good advice on wine selection. Dogs are allowed. I recommend it.
Friendly, welcoming and quick service, simple but effective dishes, I removed a star for the poorly maintained toilets.
The chef has changed. The quality remains, but the prices have become insane. It's even worse for the wines, with a white Saint Joseph from Pierre Gonon at 360 euros! The wine list is also presented against common sense, for example by combining Bordeaux and Alsace in the same section. That said, the food is really good, with some dishes worthy of a 2-star restaurant. It starts with brilliant appetizers: croque monsieur, tuna in three textures, and artichoke variations. Carabinero prepared paella-style. Glazed Saint Marcellin with tapenade (we didn't believe it when we read it, but it's delicious).
Superb restaurant. The place is magical in the heart of Grignan. The food and the setting are extraordinary. The service is friendly and efficient. We had a wonderful time there.
We got married at Ferme Chapouton at the beginning of April and everything was magical. It was a great pleasure to have lunch in the large, bright room, with open glass roofs, with an incredible view of the castle, after having an aperitif on the lawn under the Drôme sun. Our guests loved the entire menu. It was a magnificent day, with lovely service, kindness and thoughtfulness. We (the bride and groom only) stayed over and loved our beautiful romantic room and the excellent breakfast. Thank you for this fairytale weekend!
A dream location at the foot of the castle. The rooms are tastefully decorated, a blend of antique and chic. Our dinner at Clair de la Plume…magical! A surprise dinner (we didn't know the menu details beforehand), every flavor was perfectly balanced. Océane gave us excellent wine recommendations and provided contact information for the winemakers. Her professionalism made all the difference. All the staff are truly deserving of their positions. Treat yourself to an experience that is sometimes surprising but utterly perfect.
A delicious experience, refined cuisine, and remarkable service. Everything was perfect, thank you very much for your work.
The meal was eaten al fresco in the vaulted cellar, very pleasant. Attentive staff, just the right amount of time. Very good meal, fast service, reasonable bill. Perfect
beautiful rooms, very good breakfast and pleasant staff
Hello, we've been fans of La Ferme Chapouton for a very long time; it's always a wonderful place. We had a fantastic time. We're never disappointed. The welcome, service, and meal were perfect. Chic yet relaxed. The most beautiful place in the Drôme. Have a good day.
How good a meal is usually enjoyed at the Chapouton Farm. Just a side note: it's surprising that they allow dogs into this restaurant.
We ate at the Bistrot de la Ferme Chapouton: excellent!! The menu included a starter (organic egg), main course (duckling and my wife cod) and dessert (excellent homemade desserts: chocolate mousse and egg custard). Our 11-year-old son had the children's menu, which is a cooked dish (pork shoulder, mashed potatoes and vegetables): he loved it and ate everything! A good address.
We enjoyed two excellent chocolate pastries! The welcome was very friendly and warm. Excellent value for money. A nice selection of local products was also available. Don't change a thing!
Super friendly, good quality, and attentive staff. Thursday's event, featuring a presentation by a local winemaker, is very well thought out.
While the meal itself was very good, the welcome and service were deplorable! We had reserved a table for Sunday lunch on our wedding anniversary (mentioned several times during the reservation), but the welcome was simply awful!!! After being moved to a different table just minutes after we were seated (why??? a mystery...), the aperitif options were announced very curtly, as if we were "stupid." Indeed, I quote the waitress's response after I asked her about the cocktail's ingredients: "I'm telling you right now, Madam!!!"... Okay, sorry for asking 😡. At the same time, please be clearer, because it was incomprehensible, thank you! Right after the starter, one of the waiters asked my husband in a haughty tone if he would like a glass of red wine to accompany his meal, which he accepted. However, he only came back to bring it...at DESSERT TIME, so it was completely pointless! We saw him wandering around the neighboring tables for several minutes, waiting for him to bring it back. It made you wonder if he'd simply forgotten about us. Then he came back and said, "I was late bringing it to you." Oh, right... Given his attitude, we told him he could take it back, which he didn't appreciate. Oh well! (Normally, we would have accepted it without any problem). Finally, when the bill arrived, we almost paid twice for the meal we'd already paid for in advance (because it was included with our hotel stay at "Clair de la Plume"), and no apology was offered. We got a real dressing-down from the manager, as if we were the ones at fault! I don't understand this haughty behavior from the staff, which we experienced from beginning to end. Perhaps it was because we were the only ones in the restaurant dressed appropriately for this type of establishment? And yes, no shorts, jeans, flip-flops, or sneakers for us, sorry... At the same time, you're a fine-dining restaurant, and it was (I repeat) our wedding anniversary. Furthermore, this wasn't even acknowledged by the establishment (not even a simple "congratulations" or "happy anniversary"). At the same time, I'm not surprised anymore...Lol! We had already been here three years ago, and it was very good, but this time, we are very, very disappointed, and we won't be coming back!
Lunch today Everything is exceptional The welcome The dishes are as beautiful as they are delicious The setting is absolutely beautiful Thank you
Simply exceptional... Upgraded room, fantastic restaurant, top-notch service, and a very friendly chef... honestly, a must-do
A wonderful experience in this colorful restaurant, a table in the glass roof with an 8-course menu to discover the chefs' creations. From canapés to desserts, it was an explosion of flavors in your mouth! Neither too long nor too fast, the pace of service was perfect. The service was excellent; each person took great care of us, engaging in conversation and exchange, and the explanations of the dishes were very clear. All the women who served us had smiles, which was very pleasant. We would like to say a big thank you again to Lucie who made our experience unforgettable. Thank you to the entire team for their quality work. See you soon.
A succulent and hearty dinner in a beautiful setting. The dining room isn't noisy, the table layout allows for space between guests, and the dishes are served quickly and are delicious. A special touch from the young waiter who took wonderful care of us. I highly recommend it.
Visited 4 days ago, nice atmosphere, good quality food, reasonable price, excellent clementine sorbet
Having celebrated my 70th birthday at the farm restaurant, very good meal, excellent staff, very kind and helpful, a very cozy atmosphere, very clean restaurant, a treat for the taste buds, I would return with great pleasure, thank you to the whole team
