Have stayed At Bagnol a number of times over last 10 years, through changed ownership... It is still absolute perfection with views over the Rhone valleys, impressive castle, traditional rooms. The food is also very spoiling and it is in a stones throw of some of the best French restaurants in the world More

The Chateau is under new ownership and management which is reflected in the shocking raise of prices. There is no denying the chateau is beautiful but it was not cheap before how the new owners think they can justify such a price hike is beyond me. As far as I know they no longer have there Michelin star chef so... More

We were shown to an astonishing room with adjoining circular salon in a tower. Between the two, we walked a little corridor through the thickness of the walls. We gazed out at the autumn vines across drifts of grey-blue lavender. We were just not prepared for how breathtakingly lovely this spot is, and yet I travel constantly at 5* level.... More

Restaurant made us special dish so we didn't have to repeatedly order same dishes, and somelier was not only knowledgeable, but really... More

We were upgraded to a suite, which was bigger than some houses I have lived in. Bedroom with 4 poster bed, living room and bathroom with huge marble bath. Lovely place - more... More

We stayed at the chateau as part of our honeymoon and it was a real highlight (among a holiday of amazing hotels!). It is in wonderfully restored condition with beautiful antiques throughout. We felt like we were in a museum and kept expecting someone to appear asking us to leave as it was closing time! The restaurant is beautiful..you must... More

I left the hotel four days ago and am still on a high. I cannot find fault with anything -- and that is saying a great deal since I arrived with 15 other women for a "girls' weekend" away. The service, the meals, the rooms, the wine tours, the atmosphere, the chef, the beds, the extras, the cleanliness... You name... More

This chateau is set in the hills north west of Lyon in the Beaujolais. Based on its classic origins it has been updated to give an authentic feel with a (now grassed) moat, drawbridges, french gardens surrounded by cherry trees, courtyards and a long terrace looking out over the rolling hills and vineyards. Far from the hustle and bustle of... More
