Guests arrive at this charming hotel in the heart of Ambérieux's wine country to discover stone-built architecture and warm French hospitality.

With on-site dining and easy access to the surrounding Beaujolais region, this venue transforms a celebration into a genuine getaway.
A hotel that punches above its weight class. The rooms are comfortable and quiet and extremely well kept and clean. The amenities are modest but very appreciable. There is a pretty pool that is very good news when the weather gets hot. The architecture evokes a motel more than a traditional hotel and if you stay in one of the ground floor rooms you have immediate access to a small but pleasant garden. The staff are very friendly and competent, and breakfast is good value and taken in a comfortable dining room. We arrived much earlier than expected and much earlier than you would normally expect your room to be available, but the staff checked and as the room was ready, they very kindly checked us in. It's the second or maybe the third time we stay at this hotel on our way back to Paris from the south of France and it's perfect for a family stopover. We'll be sure to come back.
