in the heart of the Cathar country, in Occitania, Aude, near Carcassonne
In Couiza, A place full of stories and emotions!
At the beginning the castle was the alliance of the Voisin family with the Ducs de Joyeuse. From this wedding was born the Castle between 1540 and 1560. Be immersed in a medieval and Renaissance setting.
A unique Castle Hotel 4* and gastronomic Restaurant
A strong and unique Experience for a Romantic Stay in an atypical place steeped in history and surrounded by nature.That's the "real" castle life in the heart of the Cathar Country!
The spirit of the Duc Anne de Joyeuse, sweetheart of the king Henri III, and fond of big celebrations, has certainly participated in the rebirth of the Castle as an elegant Hotel in the beginning of the 21st century.
“An excellent experience”
We stayed at the Chateau for 4 nights while we explored the region. The owners are very nice and helpful. Everything worked out well during our stay (our stay was in Oct - end of the tourist season). It's very nice and quiet and picturesque. The room was nice and the decor gives that extra "flavor" to the stay. We had a really nice time.

Incredible
Definitely go here for a wonderful meal. We had the 90€ per person menu and it was incredible. Posh food that was super tasty and beautifully presented. The wine and cheese board were also delicious.
Even if you were eating in a barn the food would be incredible, but eating in the chateau courtyard makes the whole evening very special.
The staff were the perfect balance of attentive but not intrusive.
I have nothing negative to say. (Except I don’t know when I’ll be in the area to go back!!!)
