Unique and beautifully appointed 13th century chateau. Service was spotty because of end of season w limited staff. Otherwise, just beautiful! General Manager was an excellent host.

Slice of history
Beautiful hotel in stunning setting. As a family of four (including 2 teens) we all rated it and it felt it was a privilege to stay. It was like staying in a slice of history. Only negative - no shower but 800 years ago I imagine this was less of a concern frankly.

One of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed, both the hotel and location are stunning and the room was fantastic. I would highly recommend dinner at 1217, use of the spa (including treatments), and a wander around the village and the grounds. We also greatly enjoyed a recommended visit to Domaine des Voûtes Dorées winery. Camille was fantastic. The only slight fly in the ointment was an issue with the booking. However the staff and management could not have been more helpful, friendly and professional, and it was resolved to our complete satisfaction. I would definitely visit again.

Dear Mr Hollingsworth,Thank you for your contribution to our readers. It was a pleasure to welcome you to the Château de Bagnols. We are sorry, however, that your restaurant experience did not live up to your expectations. It is true that our gastronomic restaurant offers 2 menus in 3 and 5 courses in order to make you discover the universe of our Chef Stéphane Buron who signed the menu. Your comments are taken into consideration in order to improve this service for the next season.We hope to see you again soon,Sincerely,The Management

Historical luxury
Superb hotel. Huge room. This is a destination hotel and exudes history combined with luxury. Unfortunately restaurant was not open due to lack of staff. Instead we were offered cold plates which were of great quality and eaten on the terrace overlooking a stunning valley. Staff were very efficient, helpful, friendly and very professional. Truly a memorable stay.

Fabulous French Fantasy
Absolutely stunning property (800 year old castle) and INCREDIBLE staff! The team go out of their way to make your visit special. We were celebrating a birthday and as the hotel was fairly empty the night we stayed, they upgraded us to a magical suite covered in 18th century frescoes. The room was jaw dropping and had a beautiful view of the French countryside. Dinner was delicious and inventive... and we were able to sample a few Beaujolais wines, to include a sparkling red! Our son loved swimming in the pool. I cannot recommend this hotel enough... it is one of those places that makes you feel lucky and grateful to have the privilege of staying there.

Lovely castle in the middle of Beaujolais
This was a beautiful getaway in the heart of Beaujolais, Beaujolais, surrounded by beautiful grounds and rolling hills lined with vines. The staff we extremely friendly and tried to be as helpful as possible. Our room was large and we felt we were transported back in time, with arrow slits in our separate living room and a throne toilet. Dinner, although no longer the same Michelin menu and the same choices for lunch, was an extremely good attempt to regain their star. The sommelier in particular was very friendly and knowledgeable. The only downside was that despite being in the middle of Beaujolais, there were not many options for doing vineyard tours, especially over a weekend or if you are only in a two. And if you were staying for more than a couple of nights, the dining options were very limited. We were recommended a very good restaurant in a nearby village less than 10 mins drive away, but cost us a EUR50 taxi. And by 10pm, no taxi companies were picking up the phone to take us back. The waitress had to drive us. Difficult to get around if you're planning on sampling wines and therefore not driving. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay, but baffled by the lack of options if you were not driving (particularly when in the wine region!)

This is my second stay at this hotel, and I must say is in desperate need of a refurbishment-no AC in main building, old and dated furnishing. The surroundings are spectacular. But will not recommend it until they put some money on the rooms.

From the minute you arrive here, it's amazing! They treat you like real VIPs. Very personalized service. The castle is gorgeous and the surrounding area offers a lot. You could easily spend a week here without leaving the castle walls. The grounds are beautiful. So much to see and do. It is located in a tiny old town that is totally walkable. You will need a car to get here but that's great because there are many tiny towns to explore, including Perouge which is a medieval town still being used.

The setting is a medieval castle about 35 minutes from Lyon. It’s absolutely incredible, visually. They manage to have hot showers, internet, and perfect electricity in this stone building that is cebpnturies old. The restaurant is fine dining. The staff are so friendly and helpful. This is not to be missed in this part of France.

Live like royalty
Several years ago, we stumbled upon the Chateau de Bagnols and put it on our hotel bucket list. So glad we got a chance to spend three days literally living like royalty in a massive chateau suite overlooking the courtyard. From the Michelin starred restaurant to the gigantic marble bathtub to the luxurious spa to the lush grounds to the wonderful personalized service that reception supplied - no detail was overlooked. We felt cosseted and cared for.

Drinks in the dark
Lovely hotel and food was great. The rooms were very impressive and the restaurant superb. The only down side was we had to wait an hour to serviced drinks on the terrace after checking at reception if this was an option which was confirmed, then repeated requests from the staff for drinks. Needless to say a drink on the terrace and watching the sun go down didn’t happen as it was dark when we finally got our drinks. Most disappointing way to end a day.

Beautiful Experience in Beaujolais.
I have stayed at multiple other Chateau & Relais properties. This is one of my absolute favorites. The castle is stunningly beautiful, as it has undergone an impeccable restoration, architecturally correct but with all the modern conveniences added. The rooms are beautiful, spacious, and luxurious. The staff is attentive, sophisticated, and friendly but without pretense. I would highly recommend staying here!!
