Une Autre Maison

We stayed here for one night on a trip around France. Nyons itself is a charming town with loads of character, a beautiful square and lots of bars and restaurants. The hotel however is quirky to put it mildly! One enters through a rear gate leading into the garden. Parking is easy in a shady public car park right outside. The garden is beautiful with lots of atmospheric shady corner and a beautiful pool (although beware the mosquitos!). The girl who checked us in was delightful and despite having no English made us very welcome. The other staff with whom we came in contact were, however, somewhat cool and made no attempt to interact. Our room was on the second floor with a very strange bathroom arrangement in that initially it appeared there was only a curtain to seperate the loo and shower from the bedroom. It was only later we found a concealed sliding door - not the easiest to operate! The air conditioning worked fine and there was even a mini bar. No meals were being served other than breakfast but this was no problem as there is plenty of choice of restaurants just a short walk away. Breakfast itself is taken on the terrace and was a pleasant affair with good croissants, preserves etc.. plus yoghurts and fresh fruit. This could be a great hotel with just a few minor amendments. As it is, it is fine for one night but we'd probably look elsewhere for a longer stay in this lovely town.
