Château de Mercuès

Had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Chateau de Mercuès. My room was beautiful, the restaurant was the perfect combination of elegant and friendly. The food was exceptional, chef Clément Costes prepared a truly memorable experience. He absolutely merits a Michelin star ( if not two). And the swimming pool was fantastic! I will be coming back.

Fantastic experience for a couple of days of ultimate luxury. Particularly notable are the unique location on top of a hill with incredible view over the Lot river and the new chef producing an amazing and curated culinary experience. Well worth the trip.

Beautiful castle, with rustic charm. This is our second stay here and it was just as magical as I remember, with a lovely quiet swimming pool area. Unfortunately we did have a problem with the aircon in our room. Despite me raising this twice with reception on the first day no one did anything about it and when we arrived back at 1am the room was stifling and impossible to sleep in. There was no fan in the room either. The next morning I complained for a third time and eventually by the second evening they changed our room to one where the aircon worked. This was great, but I really wish they had sorted this the first night as we were only there for 2 nights. When you’re paying over €600 per night, and it’s over 35 degrees out it’s not acceptable for the aircon not to work.

Wonderful food in the restaurant where we had a tasting menu. Lovely breakfast Staff very welcoming and a great place to stay

First class. Very comfortable and very good food. The service was excellent.

The room was excellent and very comfortable, with stunning views of the valley below. What stood out the most was the generous and warm and professional staff from beginning to end. They were welcoming and made the chateau a very welcome destination after a long drive.

Lovely medieval building, set on a hill above an industrial area. No real opportunity to stroll into a charming adjacent village. . The rooms vary widely in quality of decor, amenities, or charm. The hotel staff is friendly but understaffed. The Michelin starred chef left a year ago. Current staff is overwhelmed and food options are very limited with no choices and very basic execution. Breakfast is adequate, but with grocery store croissants and powdered scrambled eggs it is sonewhat of a challenge to satisfy.one’s appetite. This is not at all an experience one expects at a Relais et Chateau property.

Magical place, swimming pool and tennis court made it so special to us! We enjoyed the upgrade so much! The food and the wine were out of this world.

Loved it! What an amazing chateau! So beautiful. We had a turret room which was grand. Did the wine tasting; had amazing dinners cooked by the incredible chef. Breakfast had everything you could possibly want from cheese, salmon, meats, muesli, fresh yogurt, Eggs, Fabulous breads and jams, whole box of honeycomb. Cannot recommend enough. Only disappointment was it was too cold to swim in the beautiful huge pool.
