we visit this hotel a lot, in fact every year we spend two nights here. We do so as it really has everything we need and is a magical start to our holiday. It is approximately 5-10 mins outside Carcassonne so is in an ideal location. What we love are the following: the old buildings; the pool (one of our... More

We booked in with our daughter and her (then) boyfriend for dinner and an overnight stay. The setting is idyllic, the rooms comfortable (and great that each one is different). Dinner was staggeringly good, probably the best lamb we've ever eaten, cooked over a wood fire. Prefacing this was excellent and abundant foie gras, following it a selection of local... More

Stayed for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is only minutes drive away from Carcassonne, minutes off the auto route.Cavanac is a small village which didn't appear to have anything going on there apart from the Chateau. Arrived on a Monday when the restaurant is closed and it felt like we were the only people there! Had the pool... More

Just loved this place. So relaxed, spacious, beautiful and way from hustle and bustle. Never stayed in a place like this before. Ensure you are there a night when the restaurant is open - def should eat there one night anyway. More

The rooms are all beautifully decorated and each have a name of a flower. Ours had a four poster bed and the drapes were so colourful and sumptious. The food was fantastic. You have a menu if you are staying and the value is great. The wine is from the vineyards of the chateau and it was so good we... More

We stayed here as a family of four in mid August. A stone's throw from the tourist madness of Carcassonne, this chateau, also a working vineyard, is a slice of pure French country living: eccentric, spacious, atmospheric and utterly spell-binding. The children were convinced it was haunted and, frankly, would have been disappointed to be told otherwise. There is a... More

What a beautiful place. If you want somewhere quiet with an incredible restaurant this is the place for you. Not too far from Carcassonne, and great for a weekend. More

We've stayed here twice in the last couple of years. My husband had visited the chateau prior to our marriage. Upon arrival we were greeted by the reception staff who are friendly and helpful. On this trip we stayed in Lavande, which is a well equipped suite with a double and single bed (130€ per night). The room is large... More

We stayed here because we couldn't get into a hotel in the Cite of Carcassonne, and I read in a guidebook that this was peaceful and atmospheric. It is only a few km out of Carcassonne, so it's ideally situated if you want to visit that city and the lovely region around it. The room was very spacious with lovely... More
