Interesting location. But the place is tired, and the restaurant is not worth the price they charged.

I particularly took offense for the charge for a cremant de bourgogne drink. For which they charged significantly more than the one we had two days earlier at a Michelin-starred place in Beaune.

Castle itself is nice, park is interesting. But I suspect they don't really expect people to coem back a second time.

I have stayed here twice, ten years apart, both times in the same room.

Firstly the room - I stayed in a very large ground floor room with the bathroom in the turret of the chateau - the room is comfortable with twin double beds, antiques and heavy red velvet drapes and there are two entrances (or exits) to the room. The bathroom - while an amazing stone circular room- is decorated in 1950s fairly gauche pink porcelain with burgundy shag pile carpet... the room had not changed. This is an old chateau .. in the french country side - and personally I find this eclectic dichotomy very refreshing after the sterility and sameness of modern hotel rooms. But - if a sleek bathroom is important to you - you probably wont like this room. It was fun to have a bath in the very generous bathtub looking out over ancient oak trees and the stone walls of this very old turret - a staging post for the Knights of Malta.
The food
The meal ten years ago was the singularly most memorable meal of my life. I looked forward to a repeat performance. This time the meal was not quite as good but still excellent and certainly one of the best meals during 6 weeks in France. The service is excellent and breakfast in the garden followed by a walk around this fabulous property steeped in a rich and colorful history , is to me, what the french countryside is all about.

If you are driving from Paris to the South of France, it is well worth a detour to Chagny and Chateau Bella Croix.

Overall our experience was a good one at this hotel. Although the rooms were beautiful and had some antique furniture we felt the room rates were much too high considering the absence of small details in the room. For the price you expect much more attention to detail and cleanliness. Buyer beware, some of the rooms have twin beds. The food in the restaurant was good to excellent but not superb. The wait staff was excellent. The wine list was limited and lacked good value. Of the wines listed prices ranged from 22 to 3500 (yes 3500) Euro's.

Pretty, family-run chateau restauant & hotel. Rooms are large, but basic. Food is adequate. Wine list surprisingly disappointing, given it's location.
