Le Clos Cathala Chambres d'Hôtes

It was a one-of-a-kind antique French château experience (but the American idea of chateau, since the literal translation is actually a stone castle). This mansion home was purchased by a French renown chef so the restaurant and catering is the biggest draw besides the gorgeous countryside view at every angle. They prepared a 5 course meal, despite ordering the 3 course meal with wine. However, they also offered me complimentary tastings of dishes from an event they were simultaneously catering with my aperitif. The wine pairings were expertly served. It is the perfect small private gathering venue, and could see it being a dreamy wedding venue. No guest wifi standardly available for international travelers… yet. Cellular service works quite well for French phones. Not best if you expect to work using the web. Don’t expect contemporary hotel service, but rather a more friendly country inn type of greeting and staff availability, and expect interesting details of your environment everywhere you look.

Last minute booking and how lucky were we! Fantastic place to bring the bikes and lovely hotel. The service was excellent as was the food for dinner and breakfast. I liked the fact they had so much local quality products used and on sale.The setting is spectacular and the rooms large and comfortable. We will return
