Château de Bagnols: Luxury, History, and Fine Wines in Beaujolais
The Château de Bagnols is a luxury hotel set in a magnificent 13th-century medieval castle, in the heart of the Beaujolais region, France. This historic residence offers a timeless experience, combining the authenticity of a fortified castle with the luxury and comfort of a 5-star hotel. Surrounded by vineyards and Italian gardens, it is ideal for lovers of history, architecture, and French food and wine culture.
Rooms and Suites: Period Splendor and Modern Comfort
The 27 rooms and suites are true works of art, individually decorated with antique furniture, tapestries, four-poster beds, and original frescoes. The atmosphere is regal, but the comforts are entirely modern. Each accommodation features air conditioning, satellite TV, minibar, safe, and a luxurious private marble bathroom. Many overlook the inner courtyard, the moat, or the surrounding vineyards.
Gourmet Dining: The “1217” Restaurant
The renowned gastronomic restaurant, “1217”, is named after the castle's founding date. It offers refined cuisine that celebrates the flavors of the Lyon region and fresh local products, all served in the sumptuous frescoed halls. An extensive wine list highlights the labels from Beaujolais and nearby Burgundy. Breakfast can be enjoyed in the lounge or in the room.
Wellness and Pool: Tranquility in the Heart of the Castle
The Château de Bagnols features a relaxation area with a beautiful heated indoor pool, carved out of the ancient vaulted cellars, offering a unique atmosphere. Guests can use a hammam and a room for treatments and massages. The extensive parkland and gardens offer tranquil corners for regenerating walks, completing the wellness offer.
Services and Activities in the Wine Region
The Château’s location, in the heart of Beaujolais, makes it the perfect base for oenological excursions and visits to the "Golden Stone" villages (Pierres Dorées). The hotel offers free private parking, a dedicated concierge service, and the possibility to organize guided tours and car rentals. It is also a prestigious location for weddings and events thanks to its historic halls.

- Dear Madam, Dear Sir,
We would like to thank you for your interest in our establishment,
We accept our furry friends in our establishment, and this with great pleasure.
However, for reasons of hygiene and to ensure the well-being of our guests, they are not accepted in our restaurant, SPA and outdoor swimming pool. However, they can enjoy a walk in complete freedom in the heart of the Gardens.
We remain at your disposal for any further information,

I wonder is there a chance to catch a bus or train from you to the center of Lion after I want to visit Lion. Is there a long distance from you to the bus or train station?
- Tuesday, 17 December 2019
- Dear Madam, Dear Sir,
It is possible to use public transport to get to Lyon. However, the travel time is relatively long from the Castle. The most pleasant solution is to go from the Château to Villefranche-su-Saône station by car or taxi and take a TER train to Lyon.
I remain at your disposal for any further information.
-
Can you recommend a taxi company who would drive to your chateau from the Villefranche-su-Saône station? It would be helpful if they speak a little English as we speak only a little French. Thank you!
- Monday, 8 May 2023
- We organise transfers with a taxi company. The drivers speak English in order to facilitate the journey and to give information about the villages they cross. We can organize the transfer from each train station, or airport.
Best regards
