5 • Panoramic Suite • Photo

Depending on the room, you will have up to 45m² of space, a king or queen-size bed, a bathtub, and a private terrace.

 

Life in the hotel

At the lower end of the estate, discover a magnificent 1,500-square-meter Roman spa featuring pure spring water that is 18,000 years old.

Facilities include: a thermal water pool with underwater jets, a mud bath, 20 marble treatment rooms, 1 thermal steam bath, 1 thermal mist bath with wood-toned lighting, a relaxation room, and a beauty salon.

We offer a wide variety of packages and massages.

In the morning, a hearty breakfast awaits you at the Datcha, a terrace perched in the trees and flooded with light. Breakfast can also be served in your room until 11am.

For lunch and dinner, the Riell's gastronomic restaurant welcomes you with delicious seasonal Catalan cuisine and the unusual decoration of a large hacienda. The open hearth of the huge fireplace illuminates the restaurant's patinated plaster walls and antique furniture. In the late evening, enjoy a drink in the Out of Africa bar, on the rooftop or in one of the castle's majestic salons.

 

In the heart of the Catalan mountains

The hotel provides free bikes for you to go for a ride and discover the area by bike. Many activities are possible: hiking, yoga classes, canyoning or tennis. You can also discover more secret addresses such as the citrus fruits of Baches or the olive oil producers in Ille sur Têt. Finally, you are very close to 4 of the most beautiful villages in France: Eus, Évol, Villefranche-de-Conflent and Mosset.
