I stayed at the Chateau de Bagnols with my girlfriend (now my wife) while driving down from London to the Cote d' Azur...We initially had made arrangements to stay in the center of Lyon but learned about the Chateau de Bagnols and quickly changed our plans...We drove up to the hotel in the late afternoon and were impressed...The hotel is... more

The service was excellent and everyone was very friendly. It is a very romantic place. The rooms were very nice decorated and very specious. Also the food was very good but of course exepnsive since the restaurant its Michelen rated. Lyon is very close and you can also go out in Lyon for the night or during the day. However,... more

Went for 2 nights at the beginning of my honeymoon - was a wedding present. Absolutely amazing - we were in the suite aux bouquets - a three roomed apartment overlooking the drawbridge. We were astonished by the attention to detail (champagne, fresh fruit and chocolates on arrival and the second afternoon), the lack of people staying (only 3 other... more

Because I was a special week-end, I paid an extra to have a superior room and an organized visit to a vineyard during the afternoon. The Castle is truly amazing.... more

The hotel is a spectacular chateau, with authentic décor and fitout befitting its 13th century roots. Unfortunately the service, although very friendly, lets the hotel down. Although we had specifically requested an early check-in, we arrived late due to traffic and were disappointed to find that only one of our three suites was ready even though it was after the... more

After much deliberation I chose this hotel to host an important private party, taking all the rooms except two and inviting guests to spend a long weekend at the chateau. In the months leading up to the event the staff were helpful and suggested varous activities, entertainment, decor and food/ wine options. All were expensive, even by the standards of... more
