Loved our 5 night stay at this hotel. Very comfortable and quiet but still only a short drive from Carcassonne. The manager is very helpful with suggestions for sights. Adjacent restaurant is very good too. Highly recommend!!!

This hotel is absolutely exquisite. The staff are wonderful and the rooms are so comfortable and beautiful. We enjoyed the grounds and the pool and wished we had booked more nights. I hope to go back one day.

This was a lovely place to stay a few minutes outside of Carcassonne in a beautiful park. The chateau has been beautifully and comfortably restored. The owner is perhaps a bit too protective — no coffee in the rooms! But the breakfast buffet is generous and delicious, with many homemade items.

stayed for one night only overall it was a very nice place . information was readily available if needed

We had a lovely stay in Châteaux de Palaja. The hotel and grounds were immaculate, staff were extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The bed was the comfiest we have had in the whole of France. We would return without hesitation.

Great place to stay near Carcassonne, only a 5min drive from the old city and castle! We stayed only one night while traveling through the area, just enough time to visit the old city, but we wished we would have stayed longer. The owners of the place are just absolutely charming and will help you plan your stay to get the most out of it. The hotel is also very comfortable, with an excellent breakfast and spacious rooms (we booked the family suite), a pool, ping-pong tables, sauna, work-out room and an excellent collection of comics if you enjoy this sort of reading! We'll come back!

Wonderful host, very quiet and charming hotel. Restaurant next door is excellent. I wish there were more places like this and fewer of the chain hotel hotel lookalikes.

Very peaceful area - you must have a car. Tastefully renovated building with attentive staff.

Our stay at Chateau de Palaja was every bit as wonderful as we expected. Cathy and her husband went out of their way to point out places of interest in the area and to make sure we had everything we needed. The room and bathroom are tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean, as well as all areas of this renovated chateau. One of the best breakfasts we have ever had in our travels through different areas of France! The restaurant next door was outstanding and beautifully decorated. I will recommend this hotel to all my friends when they visit the Cathar region!

The hotel was perfectly located with great facilities and a wonderfully comfortable bed

Perfect location to visit Carcassone and Le Cite if you are traveling by car. A great break from the ho-hum city hotels.

Recommend it for a longer stay. Ideally for gettting out of city and find some nature.

We loved this Château. The room was perfect and the bed most comfortable we had in France. There is a pool and nice garden area. It is about a 6 minute drive to Cite Carcassonne to see the walled castle. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We had the breakfast which was a good selection and nice cafe au lair machine. I would have stayed more nights if we had time. We would definitely return and highly recommend Château de Palaja.

The hotel is run very efficiently by a lovely couple - Catherine & Eric Remy, always smiling and happy to help.It is situated in a quiet spot in a village, 10min drive from Carcassonne.Beautiful old building restored and redecorated with taste, using even some reclaimed materials, which gives the place charm and singularity. E.g. I liked the idea of using old wooden shutters for the side bed tables in our room, Mirepoix.Very clean throughout.Wonderful bed and very good shower.Tasty breakfast, good assortment of products, many of them locally sourced.The next door restaurant (serious food and service) and the one in the in the next village (cheaper and cheerful), LArbre Du Voyageur served us very good food.

Lovely setting, a real hidden gem. Want to go to Europe? Go to Chateau Palaja.

We are so glad we chose to stay at Chateau Palaga just outside of Carcasonne for our visit. This 12 room family run Hotel was welcoming, comfortable, and unique. It is conveniently located in a small, quiet village just outside of Carcasonne. The hosts were warm and helpful with great language skills. The available breakfast buffet was full and tasty and worth the cost. The complimentary coffee and tea service available at any time in the dining room was a nice touch. One of the hotel's great advantages is its location next door to a fine dining restaurant. We enjoyed a wonderful relaxing dinner with superb service. One of three Belgian born brothers who run the restaurant served us was happy to explain every detail of the menu to us in perfect English. Please note that the restaurant serves only 20 clients a night so MAKE a RESERVATION in ADVANCE. Total bill for two 85 Euro. The hotel will offer guidance upon request. The combination of this boutique hotel and a wonderful restaurant steps away is a can't miss.

Very clean and comfortable. Nice pool great breakfast. Recommend nearby restaurant S.Comme.

A true jewel near Carcassonne.Staff was very nice and accomodating.Hot beverages are offered anytime of the day.The pool was very fresh and enjoyable.Nothing else to say.Thank you!

We arrived and the owner improves our reservation allowing stays on bigger room. I was surprised because the size of the room (huge) not easy to find it in Europe, the rooms have very unique furniture and decoration. The next morning we have an excellent breakfast. The hotels have a nice grounds with many trees good to relaxing They have a restaurant beside of the hotel( not owned by the hotel) with good food and menu In general I describe the hotel a good place to stay and feel relaxing away of the city with unique decoration and location

Our room on the 3rd floor was large with great bathroom. Linens on bed were top notch and queen bed was comfy. Frig in the room was convenient. The grounds are beautiful and parking is free.

We loved everything about this place...including the restaurant!
