Château de Riell
Hotel and restaurant on a river

In an unspoilt valley in French Catalonia, looking out at the snow-topped mount Canigou, you will find the Château de Riell, perched among parasol pines and oleander trees. This hotel is made for those who appreciate sophisticated beauty, with its baroque interiors and a restaurant whose highlights include lamb and seafood. Sports enthusiasts can choose from the huge range of outdoor activities against a backdrop of breathtaking scenery and the open-air swimming pool set on the castle’s ramparts. Discerning gentlemen travellers will be impressed by the ambiance that owner Biche Barthélémy has created in her castle. The Out of Africa bar has a safari theme and the dacha, where you can sit and read or just enjoy breakfast, will make you feel like you have stepped into a Russian novel. A splendid escape in Romanesque Roussillon.
