Description
Château de Bagnols is the finest five-star deluxe château hotel in France and is regarded by many as the finest vineyard chateau hotel in the world. Discovered by Lady Hamlyn in 1987 in a derelict state, she painstakingly restored the château with much energy and vision, to its former glory, revealing Renaissance wall and ceiling paintings created during the château's finest period when nearby Lyon was one of Europe's great Renaissance cities.
Dating from the 13th century, the chateau features impressive towers, the original dry moat, honey-coloured stone known as pierres dorées and a dramatic entrance across a drawbridge. The Château de Bagnols is one of France's major historic monuments as well as a unique luxury hotel with 21 of the most superb rooms and suites in France.
Château de Bagnols is set among vineyards, forests and green hills in the heart of the beautiful Beaujolais countryside in south-east France, just 17 miles from Lyon which has an international airport. A train from Paris or Geneva takes only two hours and the ski slopes of the Alps are a 90-minute drive away.
The Michelin star Salle des Gardes restaurant offers diners the most wonderful selection of regional specialities as well as an impressive selection of French wines. Outside, the sun-facing terrace, shaded by 100-year-old lime trees, provides the most spectacular view of the Beaujolais countryside.
Château de Bagnols is a unique experience. Nowhere else in France can provide guests with such historic luxury in such a grandiose yet comfortable environment.
Rooms and Suites at Château de Bagnols, Beaujolais :
The design of the breathtaking bedrooms, revealed the most remarkable Renaissance and 18th century wall and ceiling frescoes. The 21 bedrooms include eight apartments (six in the château itself and two in the Residence) that bear the names of those who have contributed to the château's distinguished past: the Chambre des Seigneurs d'Oingt, the Suite des Seigneurs de Balzac, the Chambre de Madame de Sévigné and the Claude Marie Chavanais Suite.
Several of the suites have their salons in a corner tower, some with sofas which can convert into an extra bed to make a family suite. The influence of Italian Renaissance decoration can be seen in the work of the 17th-century painters, who included the most fashionable ideas in their decorative schemes: landscape panels, fanciful friezes and bold ceiling arabesques.
