Magnificent property! First visited in 2006. Room very comfortable with garden terrace. Bed and linens very nice. Restaurant 1217 was excellent - flavorful and creative tasting menus. Esther, Denis and Mohammed were attentive and professional. Claude who met us at arrival was very welcoming. Service was disappointing - seemed understaffed. One had to be proactive to have a towel or refreshment at pool or on garden terrace.

This enchanted fairy tale chateau must be visited at least once. Very hard to encapsulate in words. We wrote an e-mail to the hotel to thank them and reproduce that below, don’t really have any other words to describe our experience …”everyone ran the extra mile for us to make this stay a truly special homecoming anniversary. We hope to return for many more special occasions and hopefully with our family, next year. Where do we begin? Well from the beginning I suppose. The room reservation as well as restaurant and treatment reservations were dealt with with precision and efficiency. Our arrival and check in also was superb, from the gate of the chateau to the door of our initial very well appointed garden suite and then to the opulent Lady Hamlyn apartment we were handled with great care and understanding. We wish to thank you again for making us feel like a King and Queen and for making a special occasion even more memorable. The spa staff and treatments were exceptional and all the food we ate here was fabulous, please do bring the old hot chocolate back, it was something unique. We still remember it vividly after 33 years! The porters/car valets were both very courteous and thorough, concierge staff were tireless. There is a feeling one gets from genuine and sincere service with a smile and we noticed this from the whole team, let’s also not forget the housekeeping who kindly put up with all our requests, as did the concierge and everyone else. The gesture of kindly including breakfast for us was generous and kind and much appreciated.”

The beautifully restored chateau with its honey stonework looks stunning in its setting in the Beaujolais countryside. We enjoyed the 4 course meal in Le 1217 restaurant in the chateau dining room. The outside pool is delightful surrounded by cherry trees. Bagnols village is cute with its own bar restaurant as an alternative dining option. We would have preferred a smaller breakfast option be made available rather than the buffet.

Beautiful chateau, lovely room, quiet, gorgeous gardens and pool. Breakfast buffet was superb. Limited dinner menu but delicious meal. Excellent cheeses

We spent a weekend at Château de Bagnols and were completely captivated. The château is an absolute dream – full of charm, history, and beauty. The restaurant and food were great and the service was incredibly friendly and warm. A truly memorable escape.

We stayed here for 2 nights on our road trip around France. It’s in a beautiful spot on the hillside with amazing views. Fr the minute you arrive you feel like you’re in a medieval film set. The village, the buildings are stunning. Our room was huge we stayed in room 12. It’s a beautiful space but a little fusty, which could be expected with the furnishings being so old, we also thought that charging for the water in the mini bar was a bit rich given the cost of the stay. The bathroom was also huge but the bathing facilities were a bit strange. You had a huge marble bath that you would never have been able to fill in less than a few hours and it had a shower head over it so you had to stand / sit in the bath and use the shower head, challenging not to spray water everywhere. The commode loo was an interesting touch, albeit not a fan. The gym is tiny and aircon doesn’t work but the spa facilities are lovely. The pool area was also beautiful. We hired the bikes for the morning and it’s a great place to explore. We had lunch on the terrace one day and much was nice and dinner in the restaurant which was also good. The staff are helpful, it’s a great place for a couple of days.
