Really enjoyed our one night here, especially the evening meal and the wine. We had been to the bar, discussed with the helpful barman the wines sold by the glass to be enjoyed with dinner. He said we could buy these from their caveau. The  wine was fantastic so we ordered some only to discover when we got home that... More

We spent two nights here as wedding guests. The room was old and full of character yet everything worked (bathroom warm, good shower, very comfy four-poster bed!). Very tastefully restored from it's 12th century origins. The evening food was top class, breakfast was very varied and copious amounts. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location a little remote - would... More

A wonderful, comfortable and historic hotel. Comfortable standard rooms. We looked into the courtyard which was fine in the cool weather. A room overlooking the river would be best in the summer. Attractive and refined restaurant with good food and wine. Good for couples, families and people with dogs. Close to the town on Couiza for an evening stroll. A... More

The warmth and welcoming attitude of the staff is genuine and it was appreciated. The chateau is a beautiful building inside and out and the decor in communal areas and in the bedrooms retains...

Being quite close to where we live, we visited the Chateau des Ducs de Joyeuse to have lunch as well as to see if it might be a suitable venue... More

Impressive old castle, lovely dining room. Pool very small. Room very dark and small. Food very nice but small portions in eve. Breakfast was excellent buffet style. Service very good. Expensive overall for quality of rooms etc.

We were fortunate enough to have found a timeshare in Perpignan, France and realized that we would do ourselves a disservice if we didn't go back and visit this fairytale of a hotel. We took 2 friends that were visiting us from Barcelona, so they could experience the charm. After some misguided information from our GPS and a 1-lane granite... More

We stayed with 6 adults in Ducs de Joyeuse when we made a trip through France. Ducs has nice and friendly personnel. This chateau is very nice decorated in nice colours. The restaurant is very nice althouth the taste of the food can be better. Maybe the new owners have to find their way with a balanced menu..

My husband and I stayed at the Chateau for one night as part of a Pyrenees cycling tour. After a long day in the saddle we were welcomed by friendly, helpful staff and permitted to store our road bikes in the wine cellar! Our room was small but by French standards was fairly spacious, with all the amenities we required... More
