Hotels near Parc des Oiseaux, Villars-les-Dombes

Comfortable room, quiet, excellent meal in the restaurant. Right on the golf course

Staying at Château du Montellier felt like stepping into another era. With only one room available, you truly get the sense of having this vast historic castle all to yourself. The room is enormous — 72 square meters — beautifully decorated with antique furniture that makes you feel like time has paused just for you. The private bathroom with walk‑in shower adds modern comfort, while the views down the hill are simply breathtaking. Breakfast was a delight: a continental buffet with fresh juice, local cheeses, and fruits that set the perfect tone for the day. The setting is wonderfully peaceful, with a sun terrace and garden to enjoy, plus free WiFi when you want to reconnect. Activities like walking, biking, and hiking tours are available, and nearby gems like Lyon and the medieval village of Pérouges make exploring easy. What really made the stay special was the hostess, Isabelle — warm, welcoming, and attentive, she made us feel completely at home. For dining, the nearby La Bicyclette Bleue restaurant is a great spot to savor local specialties. In short: a truly unique and relaxing escape, where history, comfort, and Isabelle’s hospitality come together beautifully.
