Slice of Heaven
Reviewed By blagdabA most delightful hotel! We planned a 2-night stay but an injury and emergency surgery prompted us to stay a week in this beautiful chateau. The staff had already impressed us, but they really stepped up to help us heal. Wonderful food, too, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but many nearby alternatives as well. The location is very near Capestang, but feels totally remote among beautiful vineyards. Easy driving distance to Bezier, Narbonne, Carcassonne, the sea, and about a hundred lovely small villages. We will return with kids and grandkids! Highly recommended.

In nature, away from the stress, noise and pollution, we have created a unique place where you can finally unwind completely.Madieres Castle is located in a magnificent setting on the transition from the old Way of Spain, it was a sentinel of the Causses and the Cevennes.Its ranking in 2011 as a UNESCO World Heritage is an outstanding recognition for an authentic area where man and nature are in perfect harmony.Also listed building, the Castle was mentioned for the first time in the archives under the reign of Philippe Auguste in 1181.Built on the foundations of the first stronghold, the current castle is a vast quadrilateral consists of three wings in a "V", closed by a fortified wall which opens in a monumental entrance gate.Two wings were built in the fourteenth century. We need the imposing south facade and terrace in the third, built in the sixteenth century to the end of the Renaissance.This terrace, which opens the Guard Room at the spectacular fireplace classified, based on a magnificent vaulted gallery.You will discover from the balcony overlooking the valley, a landscape of enchanting beauty.
Beautiful historic chateau & location, friendly staff
Reviewed By adrianlE2533JYAmazing setting above the gorge surrounded by mountains, historic 12th/16th century chateau plus nice pool etc. Very comfortable rooms, and very helpful friendly staff. Good value dinner, we ordered one of the better bottles of wine but found it at 15% too heavy. I asked politely to order something else and of course offered to pay for both, but the sommelier replaced the bottle with something much more to our taste and di not charge, very kind. Lovely stay, sadly only 1 night as they were full up the next day.

Small and welcoming
Reviewed By travellingKarrieGI stayed in a 6 bed mixed dorm, which was clean and comfortable, for one night. The castle itself is next door. It's a handheld shower but other than that, all was easy/good, including parking. There's a small bar that's open for coffee in the morning and drinks at night, and a local shop next door. There's no restaurant or takeaway delivery at night, so bring/buy food to prepare there, using their oven/fridge.

Atención ante todo
Reviewed By Ines GEstamos pasando aquí unos días, hoy es El Segundo, y de momento estoy encantada, la atención por el detalle, por que te sientas cómodo, por ayudarte en todo lo que necesites, la amabilidad con la que nos están tratando..... estoy muy pero que muy contenta de haber elegido pasar aquí unos días, nosotros estamos alojados en una de las habitaciones de abajo, la nuestra de 3 personas es un poco básica, solo tiene la ventana de baño que da al río, y por delante la puerta grande acristalada, y el baño no tiene puerta, es una cortina, pero las camas son comodísimas, a nosotros esto no nos importa demasiado, ya que preferimos el enclave idílico que el lujo, y el enclave es perfecto, te sientas en la terracita y admiras las montañas que están justo enfrente, si he de quejarme de algo es el ruido que hace el techo de nuestra habitación cuando caminan los que están encima. Por todo lo demás si volvemos al sur de Francia, volveremos a este hotel en el que nos están haciendo sentir como en casa., y hablan español perfectamente, Muchas gracias.

Remerciements
Reviewed By Journey264397Nous avons eu le plaisir de partager avec nos proches et amis le mariage de notre fille et gendre au château de Roquelune. Le cadre est juste magnifique: le château à l’intérieur comme à l’extérieur, et son parc et piscine. Sublime! Et puis il y’a Marie et Maxime, responsables. Disponibles et toujours souriants Marie et Maxime sont flexibles et tres accueillants. Nous avons eu le plaisir de rencontrer le récent propriétaire Benoit qui était comme Marie et Maxime très accueillant. Pour quelques jours nous nous sommes sentis avec nos invités “comme à la maison “, dans ce joli decor. Le parc est très bien entretenu et offre des superbes promenades. Encore un grand merci à Marie et Maxime qui ont fait de notre séjour un moment magique et inoubliable.

Lovely place to stop along the canal
Reviewed By Junk MWonderful big room in the chateau with a lovely private balcony. We were pleasantly surprised to have a little kitchen which meant we could eat in after too many days of restaurant food. There is a lockable garage for those who arrive on bicycle (like us) and a copious and tasty breakfast to get you fueled up to go the next day. Highly recommended

Lovely Romantic Get-Away
Reviewed By RussBrabyHad an amazing time overall. The location is a dream, see the photos. I've seen some negative reviews about the room cleanliness - but I would wholeheartedly disagree, I found everything immaculate. The trip was supposed to be just my wife and I but last minute the babysitter fell through. I would advise against taking a toddler to this place, it is much much more suited to couples for a romantic get-away. So I can't fault the place for not being "family-friendly" - it is not trying to be (and shouldn't try to be in my opinion). The tapas provided was fairly substantial and ended up being good enough to serve as our dinner as we didn't want to venture out with the little one. If I could fault one thing, I'd say the signage on the approach could be improved, if it wasn't for Waze/Google Maps, I thought we were getting lost! Oh, also upon arrival we weren't sure where to go, I thought the signage to reception could be improved. It was a bit awkward somehow even when we found it.

A hidden gem
Reviewed By MalRileyWe had a warm welcome from the owner Muriel, to this beautiful secluded chateaux sat in its own woodland. It has been superbly restored over the past few years, blending carefully chosen antiques with original features and more modern fittings. We stayed in the red suit, with a bath in the round tower(first floor, centre and right of photo). As we were the only guests Muriel gave us a tour of the ‘house’, which can also be hired complete as a gîte. In the evening we took the opportunity of a candle lit dinner of cassoulet, the local speciality, prepared by our host. A well stocked continental breakfast, including cake, sourdough bread and cheeses was provided in the morning. A real taste of chateaux luxury and a most enjoyable experience.

Terrible - nothing like the photos
Reviewed By jeaniepr777Don't go here. It is really run down and really not a chateau at all And Olivers Travels were the worst people to deal with - not interested at all - they pretty much said they just take the money and we had to take up any issues with the owners
