Reviews and Ratings
I had a unique experience staying at this hotel, which is set in a beautiful old château with original furnishings. The charming rooms offered a lovely view, although the shower setup was a bit impractical and caused water to spray outside. The friendly staff made me feel welcome, but I felt the service could improve in terms of local engagement. The location is fantastic if you’re seeking a quiet getaway and offers great access to stunning nearby villages. The dining options left something to be desired, being very basic and lacking variety.
My stay at the chateau was quite unique, with original furniture and lovely views that really made the experience special. However, I was a bit disappointed with the dining experience; the breakfast options felt limited and the dining area didn't match the castle's charm. It's a beautiful location for exploring nearby villages and the service could use some attention.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While it was clean and comfortable, the dining options were quite limited and didn't meet my expectations. The location was great for exploring the nearby sights, which I really appreciated. However, I was disappointed with the lack of attention to detail in some areas, especially regarding the service and the dining facilities.
I had a decent stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and offered a lovely view, but they felt a bit outdated and more like a B & B rather than a hotel for the price. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience pleasant. However, the dining options were limited, and I found the breakfast to be quite ordinary. Overall, it’s a charming place with a good location, but there are some areas for improvement.
Staying at the castle was quite an experience! The room was impressive and comfortable, with a magnificent original fireplace, although the large jacuzzi felt a bit out of place. The service was generally helpful, but the pizzeria seemed to lack attention to quality. The location is beautifully maintained, perfect for a quiet and romantic getaway, but dining could definitely use some improvement. Overall, there's great character in the place, but some areas need a little more attention.
