“One of our best hotel experiences in 15 years,” write visitors to this creeper-covered boutique hotel just south of this lovely medieval town. Others wrote: “A wonderful discovery.” “The ideal stop-over, if you want to eat well and stay cheaply.” It is close to the busy road, but the soundproofed, air-conditioned rooms are “very quiet”. “A superb room; we”ve never had a better shower.” “The food was exquisite. Even the children”s menu was excellent. Service was calmly efficient.” Jean-Michel Carrette has taken over from his father Michel Carrette, chef/patron for over 20 years, and retains his Michelin star. He runs it with his wife Amandine. Meals are served by “pleasant staff” in three “discreetly elegant” dining rooms. A new extension offers eight smart new rooms, most with private terraces.
