This is an unusual hotel, and very quirky. To start with, it is quite a distance from the main town and is approached by a windy mountainside road which the locals may be happy to speed along, but I certainly was not.
The staff were very friendly and helpful but we were given one of their garden cottages which was very strange in design, cold, and actually had a damp patch in the corner. I have subsequently found that guests have complained about these cottages before now. It had a balcony which was overgrown and there was an abundance of mosquitoes, which made the balcony unusable. We complained about the damp in the room and to their credit, they upgraded us to a room inside the chateau at no extra cost, although we had to spend one more night in the cottage as they were fully booked. The room in the chateau was fine, I guess, having never stayed in an actual chateau before. It was like going back in time a couple of hundred years, very old fashioned and a bit odd. Not exactly to our tasting, but if you are looking for this genre, then fine.
The hotel has an adjoining spa hotel where we eat on the first night. This hotel looks better from a distance! Up close, again a bit odd and in need of lots of money to bring it up to scratch. We eat there the first night and it was ok. The second night we eat at the main restaurant in the Chateau and the food was amazing. We would recommend this hotel (NOT the cottage) if you were going to eat at the restaurant.
