Château de Codignat

This place delivers what it says on the tin.Charming chateau set in beautiful grounds.Our room was lovely although the decor - tromp l'oiel walls were perhaps a little too much.Staff were friendly and welcoming. There is a lovely heated pool and pavilion where we had a light lunch and nice bottle of wine.Dinner on the terrace was superb, although I had to request a refill of my water on 3 separate occasions - the bottle was some distance away. And they forgot to serve one drinkThe sommelier selected excellent wines which matched our food selections perfectly.The chicken my wife selected was sensational and I would recommend it.Oh, the fruit bread served with the meal was just Soooooooo tasty...

We stayed 5 days at Codignat, it was supposed to be the highlight of our vacation. Our dinner the first evening was a disaster. We ordered langoustines, they were served icecold, being poached and with the intestins still inside. Tasteless. The veal could not make it right, and the desserts were nothing special either.

During our 4 days stay, we dined 3 evenings in the 1-star Michelin restaurant of the chateau. Unfortunately it did not meet our expectations in each of the evenings due to poor cooking techniques, as we had to send the over cooked meat back at two occasions, service issues when the capacity was full and the limited menu. We tried almost everything in the menu, as even a la carte menu does not offer anything additional. It is a nice location, beautiful gardens however Michelin standard requires immaculate cooking skills.

When thinking of a hotel chateau, this is how it is. Magnificent ground, beautifully appointed public rooms and accommodations. Excellent restaurant and service. I will definitely come back. However if you are handicapped this is not for you as there is no elevator and there are many narrow steps To be climbed depending on the floor of your room.

We came on a warm summer evening and ate outdoors. The food and wine were truly excellent. Strangely, the service, though warm and friendly, was not well-coordinated for a restaurant of this caliber. We didn't mind terribly because the environment was so pleasant and the view so exceptional.
