The place is super calm, which was perfect for relaxing. The pool is amazing, and we really enjoyed chilling there. Restaurant: The food was delicious every time, breakfast was great too—lots of tasty options to start the day. If I could suggest one thing, it would be to add some nuts to the breakfast spread. That would make it even better! I had to do some work while we were there, and the wifi was solid enough to get things done without any hassle.

- "Loved this place, in a quiet rural valley with a stream nearby and horses in the neighbouring fields, though not far from the autoroute. Clearly mostly used by walkers. The owners were friendly and helpful. Dinner and breakfast were communal, sharing a big table with other guests which was nice (though our French wasn't good enough for long conversations). Dinner was tasty and robust - bread and pate, sausage and potato, myrtle berry tart for dessert. Good cheeses and honeys available for breakfast."
