Château Mont Joly Hotel Restaurant Dole, Jura

A lovely homely chateau, which has about 7 bedrooms and is owned and run by the chef and his wife. They have a great team working with them who are always helpful. English is spoken by all.|A great place to break the drive when heading south from Calais. There is a nice garden with a good size swimming pool. There are also some goats at the bottom of the garden - fenced in.|The restaurant is excellent, a one star Michelin with a great wine selection, breakfast on the patio before a further drive is relaxing.

Wonderful chateau hotel (4 stars) with a nice park and big pool. Great food with by an innovative chef (R. Fassenet), accompanied by fitting local wine selections. This is a family led business - they are in with their heart and this makes all the difference.

Can’t say enough great things about this restaurant. The hotel and domaine are beautiful, the staff is amazing! The chef is so friendly and welcoming! It was really a great pick for my first Michelin star restaurant. Every course was perfect, well balanced, and surprising. They really use all the products of the region and put them on a plate. Next time we will do the full experience of staying at the hotel and dinner because it seems amazing! Highly recommended and will definitely go back. It was without a doubt the best meal of my life.

After all the great reviews, I really expect something extra. Unfortunately, I didn't get what I expected, my personal opinion. Average: room, breakfast (disappointed for that price). Building by self is great, and this is all that I can remember, like a good memory. Value of money and reality, hmmm mismatch.

The hotel is run by a chef and his wife, and is more a top-class restaurant with rooms, than a hotel first and foremost. There were no complaints about service however which was always professional and courteous, if a little detached. The rooms are modernised, air-conditioned and spacious, with a quirky bathroom which is attached to the room rather than en-suite, but fully serviceable and modern. There is a lovely pool in the grounds although you have to catch it early the next morning since the robot cleaner is put in shortly after breakfast! The food was excellent with a wonderful array of creative amuse-bouches and starters, and we both had a delicious lamb for the main course. The wine list is abundant with some reasonably priced local wines going up to some very fine wines at much higher price levels. The restaurant decor is very relaxing and airy, with nice views over the gardens and pool, and well-spaced tables. All in all a lovely overnight stay, but please keep the pool open a bit longer in the morning for those who do not rise early!

Our room was a bit bare, especially for it's size and price but had a lovely balcony and view. Not far from motorway for a stopover and has an excellent restaurant. Staff slightly on the "too professional" side, could have been a bit more friendly and less formal. Would have been nice to have tea/coffee making facilities but probably due to Covid-19. The food in the restaurant was excellent so make sure you book a table as it was very popular with locals too. The swimming pool and grounds were very nice and Dole is a great town to walk/cycle around.

We spent 1 night here on route to our final Holiday destination in the Haute Savoie. It was perfect. The chateau is charming, set in beautiful mature gardens with swimming pool. Rooms are modern and very comfortable - I loved the bath tub in the bedroom - felt luxurious and a touch decadent. The owners were friendly and patient with my rusty French. But best is the the food which was outstanding. Highly recommended!

The Moka bedroom gives a wonderful experience in term of space available and the view on the garden that you can enjoy from your private terrace. The restaurant well deserves its star, everything was delicious. The only quirks came from the serving of our wine accord which came late for our meats.
