A perfectly formed and restored castle, tastefully decorated rooms and enough space between everything. An excellent base for touring the countryside but not cheap. When we arrived we were told the restaurant was not operating that night but they had booked us in a restaurant nearby. (They had sent us an e-mail to warn us but since we were on... more

We stayed there for four nights in August 2008. It's in a strange location within the town - you arrive and park next to what seems like an indistrial warehouse - but don't let that put you off. When you get inside it's classic mediaeval castle, with very worn stone staircases - not much good for wheelchairs or gammy legs.... more

I recently spent two weeks driving in SW France and Northern Spain and came to stay at the Chateau des Ducs de Joyeuse in Couiza. I was contemplating between staying at this establishment versus the Hotel de la Cite in Carcassonne, but since this hotel costs about 1/3 of the price of that in Carcassonne, I thought I would give... more

We stayed in the mediaeval suite for a 3 day exploration of the Chateaus and other historic sites in the area. It was wonderful apart from being woken by the syren at a nearby factory at 7 one morning. Although the chateu is well situated for exploring the area, the immediate surroundings are a sports ground and a factory on... more

My husband and I spent three nights at the Chateau des Ducs de Joyeuse in September 2007. Finding the hotel was easy (maps for auto-route and the hotel's web site gave local directions.) The town of Couiza is very, very small, but well located for site seeing. You can very easily get onto the routes needed to journey to many... more

We stayed at this hotel on a Monday night, we knew the restaurant would be shut when we booked so we just drove a couple of miles down the road to another hotel for a meal. The place looks great and is very peaceful however a bit run down. We had the cheapest room that was clean however quite small.... more

Wow! This place is amazing - it is a real medieval castle that has been successfully converted into a lovely hotel. When we arrived at the castle we were not sure about the surrounding area - it appears to be next to a school and school playing field which didn't quite fit into the whole scene. However once inside the... more

Evocative buildings with a great feeling of history, a shame the staff could not be more cheerful in their work more
