Parc De Biodiversité Le Castel Home D'hôtes & Table Bio occupies a restored 19th-century estate that has been thoughtfully converted into an intimate hotel and organic dining destination near Lyon.

A truly special place — authentic, charming, and unforgettable! We had a wonderful stay at Villa Castel. The location is perfect — close to the city, yet peaceful and relaxing in a stunning garden with a pool. The house itself is nostalgic and full of original details, creating a beautifully authentic French atmosphere. Florence, our host, is absolutely fantastic — warm, charismatic, and full of fascinating stories. She made us feel completely at home. The breakfast was outstanding, with local delicacies, homemade jams, and excellent wines. If you get the chance, don't miss out on her delicious home-cooked meals — a true highlight of our stay! Our room and bathroom were very comfortable, and everything about our stay felt personal and unique. For anyone looking to experience real French culture and (bio-)cuisine in a beautiful setting, Villa Castel is an absolute must. Highly recommended!
