"Endroit idyllique pour se ressourcer !"

10.0

C’est la deuxième fois que je vais dans ce magnifique hôtel perdu dans la nature. Endroit idéal pour se ressourcer : très bon restaurant, spa, personnel aux petits soins, petits chemins de randonnée accessibles de l’hôtel et vue magnifique. C’est vraiment un très bel endroit ! Voiture indispensable car endroit perdu dans la nature !

"Second Time"

10.0

My girlfriend and I had high tea a couple of months back and was taken how great the location, service, food, and ambiance of the place. I decided to come back with my husband and we had a wonderful stay. The breakfast was very good, the staff were friendly and polite. My husband, who is at times can be hard to impress, said we will definitely book again !

"Apartment room with soa"

4.0

The view and the breakfasts were good. The bed was comfortable.

The apartment was run down,badly need of a make over. The 2 couches had covers over them that did not fit. The carpet was worn. The bathroom light and fan were one and noisy. Spa bath was dirty and old. Toilet seat did not fit. Couldn't cook as the pot was a part of a steamer pot with holes. The deck was on a lean and not clean. Aluminum windows were old and dirty. The photos on the website look good but does not reflect what you get. The outside needs a wash and a paint job. There are 2 apartments if you got the other one you would not get a view.
