Chateau de Bonnevaux — Hotel in Vienne

This winter, my husband and I decided to take the kids to France for a week. We were recommended to try the Bonnevaux castle and it was amazing! It's a really cute old castle with a stairs and doors everywhere that made the kids think we were in a Harry Potter movie! The hosts were extremely nice and accomodating. We went for lots of walks in the beautiful old forest surrounding the castle - the hosts even guided us to find the oldest tree which is 350 years old! The castle has a fabulous atmosphere and an incredible history, vividly retold by the hosts. The French cuisine they offer is simply delicious, as the wine from nearby wine-yards... I can really recommend spending a few days at Bonnevaux castle. My only regret is that we couldn't use the pool - it must be even more amazing in spring and summer! We felt SO welcome and had a great time - we truly got a lot of value...

We were in the city of Bourgoin Jallieu on a business visit, and after we finished our visit we decided to search for a clean place to spend our night ( especially in this difficult period of the epidemic COVID-19). I searched quickly on the Internet and we found this castle, so I said to myself, why not ? We will go and see, knowing that it is only 20 kilometers from the city of Bourgoin Jallieu and 17 kilometers of Grenoble.||“Le château de Bonnevaux”, when your destination leads you to a place more than unexpected than your imagination, a place that takes you between history, originality and tradition, and between nature and tranquility. And more than all of that, the gracious hospitality.||Thanks a lot. Will come...

From the moment we arrived, we felt totally welcome. Gilles goes above and beyond to show the greatest hospitality towards his guests. He is always present, but never intrusive. The property is beautiful; the rooms well appointed & spacious. Although a big, old castle, no complaints on the facilities- you find all that you need. Both nights we decided to eat the amazing food that Gilles prepared - nothing short of a terrific restaurant ! I loved the preparation as well as sitting at a long, magnificent table transporting me to another era. Having stayed in many 5- star hotels worldwide, I'd rather stay at Chateau de Bonnevaux any day. My only complaint is that we only stayed 2 days/nights but they were 2 memorable...
