Chateau De Codignat

Chateau de Codignat (Bort-l'Étang, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"There are chateaux, and then there are chateaux. This one, near the village of Bort l’Etang in the lush Auvergne countryside, is the real deal, a relic of the 14th century. Fully rebuilt after falling on hard times in the 18th, it nevertheless comes complete with turrets, towers, and crenellations, like something straight out of a fairy tale or a period drama. But since the Seventies, the Château de Codignat has been not a fortress but a luxury hotel — and after some more recent expansions and renovations it features 19 rooms and suites, divided between the original castle, a separate chalet on the estate’s grounds, and a pair of poolside cottages." - Tablet Hotels
