Chateau de Codignat
Château de Codignat, Bort-l'Étang, France
19 Rooms
Contemporary Classic & Secluded
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.
Though it’s stuffed with history, and furnished with authentic pieces from the 19th century, the Château de Codignat isn’t shy about mixing the antique and the modern. The castle rooms are ornate enough for a proper aristocrat, and the cottages, though more contemporary in aspect, are every bit as plush. And while the castle and its grounds certainly don’t lack for romance, the most atmospheric experience has to be dinner — the hotel’s restaurant, La Tour du Château, occupies the castle’s main hall, set within the old structure’s round tower.
