Our recent stay was nothing short of extraordinary—truly the finest experience we’ve had in France after decades of visiting the country. What made it exceptional wasn’t just the beauty of the property, but the people and the thoughtful details that shaped every moment. The night before our departure, **Lorine** took the time to answer our questions with such warmth and generosity that we felt genuinely *cherished*. She shared fascinating pieces of the hotel’s history and even took a few beautiful photos of us. Her kindness and enthusiasm added a personal, heartfelt touch to the end of our stay. At dinner, **Augustin** quickly became our favorite waiter in the entire hotel. His wine knowledge was exceptional, and his attention to detail elevated every meal into an experience. His thoughtful recommendations and impeccable service made each evening memorable. **Vincent** was equally outstanding—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. He consistently went the extra mile, often anticipating what we needed before we even asked. His kindness added so much to our stay. 🌿 Sustainability That Truly Enhances the Experience Thinking specifically about sustainability, the measure that impressed us most was the **landscape design**. The natural prairie plantings created a vibrant ecosystem alive with birdsong each morning. It felt both beautiful and ecologically meaningful—a rare combination. The **Monet‑like pond**, the **meadows**, and the gentle hum of wildlife made the entire property feel like a living, breathing sanctuary. 🚴‍♂️ Activities & Amenities That Made the Stay Even Better We also loved the thoughtful amenities throughout the property: - **Free electric bikes** — a wonderful way to explore the grounds and surrounding countryside. - **Pétanque courts** — charming, fun, and perfectly French. - **Thermal springs** — beautifully designed, though we were a bit sad they required chlorine. - **Edge‑of‑the‑world pool** — absolutely stunning, with views that made us pause every time. - **Beautiful trails** — peaceful, scenic, and perfect for morning walks. - **Monet‑like pond** — serene and picturesque, like stepping into a painting. Every corner of the property felt intentional, elegant, and deeply connected to nature. ⭐ Final Thoughts This hotel delivered an experience that was not only luxurious but heartfelt. Thanks to Lorine, Augustin, and Vincent—and the thoughtful design of the property itself—our stay became one of the most memorable we’ve ever had. We left feeling refreshed, cared for, and already dreaming of returning.

“An excellent restorative stay”

I chose this hotel for several specific reasons. - I'm a LHW member and this property was already on my radar. - It's very close to home, which made it ideal for a short stay without the fatigue of a long journey. - The hotel seemed to offer exactly what I was looking for: a calming lake view, a high-end spa, a quiet surrounding, several essential services for me (room service, shuttle,...). - There is a small town, which can be reached on foot, with a few shops and a lakeside promenade. The arrival was smooth, because the hotel call me a day before and I could ask for a shuttle from the boat landing stage. I wouldn't recommend to reach the hotel on foot on your own, as it's quite steep and the pavement is narrow and uneven. Check-in was efficient, the welcome was warm, and I was upgraded to a residence lake view room. Look at the pictures : the room was spacious, the bathroom huge (both bath and shower), the bedding really comfortable with excellent pillows. I appreciated how quiet the room was : there is a double door system which blocks noise from the corridor. I also loved the blackout curtains and the absence of any light pollution (no standby lights from TV). The spa experience was excellent. The facilities are high-end. I especially appreciated the quiet moments in the baths early mornings. In the afternoon there were more guests and some with kids (while it was supposed to be adults-only from 12pm to 4pm). The highlight of my stay was the “Rituel des Soins Célestes" (the day before I had a rain massage of 20min and a full body scrub) which was outstanding. The therapist, Rosanna, was exceptionally gentle, attentive, and professional, and the treatment was deeply relaxing from beginning to end. As for the food, I had Room service each evening and it was good. The breakfast offers a fair variety of options, with a nice selection of breads and a delicious "brioche". But you can also have breakfast in your room at no extra charge. But you would probably miss the perfectly ripe mangoes and the strawberries at the buffet. Service throughout the stay was consistently kind and helpful. I always felt genuinely welcomed and at ease. I would sincerely recommend this hotel and I would gladly return for another restorative stay. I noticed the difference btw how I felt when I arrived and how I felt when I left after three night : objective achieved !
