from the moment we crossed the "vieux pont" to the hotel we were entranced by this place. The village is amazing, the restored chateau is a must visit, the tiny hotel and its riverside garden are perfect. The degustation meal while not cheap was a memorable and unique experience More

We stayed one night in August 2011. This is an ideal location in modern accommodation overlooking the river and the old bridge with the main village on the other side of the water. Pleasant service at breakfast. More

Belcastel is quite rightly judged to be one of the most beautiful villages in France. Consequently we gathered that it can be quite busy in August but in late June is was quiet and only the noise of amorous frogs disturbed the calm. The Hotel du Vieux Pont consists of a restaurant on one side of the river and a... More

We just went to the restaurant for a meal - but this was one of the most epic meals. We were there for lunch 4 adults and 4 children and the food was just out of this world.

All rave reviews below convinced me to go here. Can only say we had a truly fantastic meal and a truly fantastic night gazing out at this gorgeous village. The people here are wonderful, and the whole thing was value for money in exchange for a magical experience. Rather than debate if you should or shouldn’t - just go and... More

Late evening and early morning were utterly peaceful and one was not even aware of the small camp site just beyond the hotel.... More

This is an unbelievable village and an unbelievable hotel. We stayed 3 nights and loved it. We also visited several of the other "most beautiful villages" and this one was by far the best. The hotel is also wonderful. The staff is great and the rooms are clean and modern. You really could not ask for more. The restaurant is... More

Belcastel is definitely worth the drive. The hotel can easily match the five-star palaces of Paris when it comes to service and the rooms offer everything you might need. We felt like in a fairytale. Food was outstanding and it seems people know it as the restaurant was booked every night. After many disappointments in high-end hotels all over Europe... More

Belcastel and the Hotel Restaurant Vieux Pont were outstanding. The brochures and articles cannot adequately describe the beautiful location. The restaurant meals were stunning and the service was first class. The setting is absolutely unsurpassed in beauty and tranquility. This little gem is on the top of our list of special places in La France. The hotel is spotless and... More
