A very lovely lunch with an idyllic location. The dish of the day was great value, flavourful and light. Our service was prompt, professional and friendly. Location is stunning, shaded from the sun but overlooking the beautiful pool and scenery around it made for a lovely lunch. I hope to see this place on the Michelin guide or more!

I don't recommend this place in winter. We stayed two nights instead of four during Christmas because the whole village (and not the hotel) couldn't provide dinner. All the places were closed... The woman who welcomed us walked around inside in outerwear, which I understand since the rooms were cold. Our room was also very damp and cold even though it was a suite.. why weren't the rooms heated for guests? When we went to rest, we found a nasty plastic sheet on our bed that was sweaty and "loud"😩.. Considering the price of the room (350€/night), the quality level was not worth it. The food in the restaurant (the first night we got food before Christmas) was cold. Unfortunately, this time it was like that.

We've just spent three lovely nights in this hotel. The hotel is absolutely charming and the location is magnificent. We went with our two dogs and there are some amazing walks right next to the hotel.
