We were lucky to spend 16 days at this beautiful chateau in Couiza, a renaissance castle from the 16th century at the foot of the Pyrenees. The restaurant did not stop surprising us with new gorgeous dishes every day served with the best of service. Cozy and clean room with air condition, nice pool and outdoor retreat area. The hosts Isabelle and Vincent together with the staff made our stay a memorable one, and we will for sure return to this lovely place.

We wanted the castle experience while in France and this place was perfect. It’s really beautiful, on a pretty river and very comfortable. We enjoyed the pool with lots of lounge chairs. It seemed a bit of a splurge to stay for dinner, but relative to other restaurants during our trip, it was quite reasonable for excellent food. Both the waiter and waitress were very warm and made us feel comfortable. The waiter noticed we were speculating about the history of the place and brought us a brochure in English. We had a room for 3 and it was in one of the towers. Robes, slippers, air conditioning, a huge room-it was a really nice luxury experience at what I thought was a really good price.

The place as a historical castle is a unique experience and definitely part of the special lodging experiences one may do. Actually it was my second stay there but my first lovely visit is dating back about 15 years. Great finding - the experience did repeat! The rooms are respecting the medieval character above all in furniture - but remains comfortable, above all with regard to the bed comfort. The hotel has a nice pool area which is great after a full day of discoveries you may do in the land of cathares. What an experience for dinner - if the weather allows dinner will be served (breakfast too) within the court area that is fully surrounded by the castle walls and thus perfectly protected. The hotel cuisine is very good, a little limited in choice but of great quality with natural ingredients. Good wine list with focus on wines of the Midi. Very friendly and competent staff and owner!

Very cool place to stay, intimate and historic vibe. Lovely front desk. The big spiral stairs adds to the charm. Lovely breakfast, relaxing pool. Rooms are a little dated feeling but overall comfortable and nice. I would be happy to return in the future.

Spent two nights with a friend in this magical place. Had a delicious lunch accompanied by great wines from Limoux in the beautiful courtyard of the castle. Super friendly and attentive staff that kindly prepared a very tasty cold meat and cheese platter when we arrived late one evening.

Superb two night stay at Ducs de Joyeuse - friendly welcome great room - small but very nice swimming pool - we visted Carcasonne from here - food was excellent however they could do with clearer allergen information on the menu (there was none - that means you make your selection wait for server to take your order indicate allergy wait for server to enquire of kitchen then select another menu item - restaurants need to realise that they can save all that waiting and delay by simply putting the information on the menu in the first place) - other than that an excellent stay

We especially appreciated the "Art of Living" at the Castle. The House itself and the inner courtyard are especially beautiful. The courtyard is a wonderful setting for relaxing drinks in the evening or a meal. The room was clean, spacious and atmospheric. A better wi-fi connection would be helpful. The staff are excellent, friendly and helpful!

A fabulous stay. Wonderful service, the owners were so interesting. Great food. The Chateau was in a lovely setting, a real highpoint of our trip. If you are in the area I would really recommend as a fun treat. There are stone steps to get to your bedrooms, might be a problem if you have mobility issues.
