This 4-star hotel sits on Place Gambetta, a historic square in the heart of a UNESCO-recognized wine region, with 47 guest rooms available for your wedding party.
Wonderful small independent hotel close to all the amenities but set in a quiet square. It doesn't look much from the outside but don't be fooled, it's tastefully decorated inside and spotlessly clean. The bedrooms are a good size and very comfortable. The breakfast selection was amazing. All in all a great little hotel with superb staff doing a great job.
