Village Castigno - Wine Hotel & Resort

The village is to-die-for charming. Yet, even though the locals seem pretty chilled about half of their village being painted purple for the European glitterati, you can't help on occasion feeling like an extra in a Truman Show-esque experiment. Vis those rooms, the biggest and most expensive (prestige cuvee) have flaws. Namely that they're very dark, compounded by the fact the windows face straight onto the street necessitating having the curtains closed the whole time. The "private terrace" is redundant, being as it is right in the street - passers by often pause for a rest in your chairs. And for folks in a new relationship, these rooms would be downright awkward! You sit on the loo in front of a big glass door directly facing the bed. And so there you sit, all lit up in purple as you execute your holiest of holies. Conversely, the next room tier down, vintage cuvee, are on the first floor with huge windows you can throw up open to enjoy the glorious views, and some have rolltop baths in the bedroom. Much better. There were a few niggles - hot food and fresh fruit should NOT run out half hour before breakfast closes in a hotel of this calibre - but otherwise it's quite a magical experience. For a while, at least. My takeout is that if one were to visit for a night or two as part of a road-trip around the Languedoc, then this would be a memorable stopover. But as a destination, the undeniable quirkiness and uniqueness wears off pretty quickly, leaving one wanting for a more traditional hotel experience.

Assignan: Lage, Ort, Design, Restaurants - die perfekte Auszeit! Gaumenschmaus pur und Seele baumeln lassen!

Un hôtel disséminé dans un joli petit village. Notre chambre était soignée, propre et avait du charme. Une belle salle-de-bain spacieuse. Si cet endroit était plus proche de chez nous, on y reviendrait avec plaisir !

Short time ago we visited Village Castigno in Assignan,France. We were able to dine in Le Thaï de Castigno. From the start at the reception by Mrs Som, we were treated super friendly and above all really professional. She manages her kitchen team of excellent chefs so that we tasted a wonderful meal with exquisite thaï ingredients and flavors. With this came the best Castigno wines. Together a true special experience. The next day we were able to enjoy a beneficial, soothing and very relaxing massage at the Spa de Castigno by Mrs Som. Finally, it is certainly worth mentioning to visit the impressive chai of Castigno and taste the wines. Many magnificent bottles. We brought some home to taste later and cherish the good memories of our time in Chateau Castigno. We had a very special time, we will remember always; Mark & Mie

One of the very best Michelin Dining Experiences we have ever experienced. A relaxing and friendly resort.

Chambre atypique en bois dans le village. Avec ces petites terrasses et ses vélos qui permettent de se déplacer. Petit déjeuner sur la place du village… tout était réuni pour un agréable séjour

Séjour atypique au milieu des vignes dans un cadre apaisant et reposant. Les chambres et la restauration sont vraiment exceptionnels. Seul bémol : les services apportés par l'hôtel ne correspondent pas au niveau des étoiles.

Logé dans la maison de Vic, vis à vis énorme obligeant à fermer les rideaux tout le temps, notre séjour s'est passé dans le noir avec en prime des livraisons pour les restaurants à partir de 6h du mat sous nos fenêtres, sympa pour les vacances dans une chambre à 220€ la nuit... Nous n'y retournerons jamais.

Un endroit merveilleux Tout etait parfait Accueil lieux dîner petit déjeuner Piscine Hôtel différent avec ce système de dormir autour du village. Calme et reposant nous avons adoré
