This hotel, a former 18th century monks retreat set just outside the quaint old town of Pézenas, is worthy of more than a rating of three!!
Why have I given such a rating?
When booking this idyllic peaceful hotel , I had read that there was a Michelin restaurant on site!
What could have been nicer after a five hour drive. Checking into this gorgeous tranquil hotel, a dip in the generously sized pool, a couple of bottles of rose, and then dining under the stars, Michelin style!
Unfortunately we couldn’t do the latter!!
The restaurant was fully booked for both nights we were staying! I’m sorry but this hotel was totally “ out of order”! We booked this hotel nearly five months ago for the two nights, so “bottom line”, and it’s quite simple, why didn’t they email me and ask if we would like to book a table whilst we were staying there? We don’t know their system and how it works, it was all down to them.
We therefore had to drive each night ( no taxis available!) into the local town.
Ok rant over.
The rest of the hotel, it’s layout, peacefulness, and quality of decor was outstanding.
The gardens could’ve been better looked after, and being told we couldn’t have our aircon on in our bedroom due to Covid was a pretty feeble excuse to save a few pennies.
Would I stay again?.....Only if they get their management skills better organised.
