Fodor's Expert Review Le Château de Riell
Rte. des Bains, Molitg-les-Bains, Occitania, 66500, France Fodor's Choice
An eccentric late-19th-century castle that blends baroque style and English elements, this Relais & Châteaux property welcomes guests who want to enjoy its tranquil mountain setting or soak in the healing waters of Molitg-les-Bains. A Michele Guérard–trained chef evokes the spirit of the south at the château's restaurant, preparing dishes inspired by this region's bounty.
PROS
- rooftop swimming pool
- spectacular views of Mont Canigou
- superb restaurant
CONS
- though a bus connects Molitg to Prades, a car is more practical
- odd accents may be a bit much for some
- restaurant closed Tues. and Sat. lunch
