An enchanted wee chateau.
Pros:

A wonderful, tucked away in an enchanted bit of nature. The building is a living and well restored witness of more feudal times, but so lovingly maintained and resplendent that it awes and inspires you all the same. The rooms are eclectically furnished and well equipped. The staff are bend-over-backwards lovely and super helpful, late arrivals and all included.

Pros:

Le cadre . L'accueil de Mathilde .

Cons:

Je m'attendais à un niveau de décoration et de propreté plus élevé même pour une chambre " classique " en prix réduit 138€ quand même ! ! mais tout est affaire d' appréciation. J'aurai apprécié que la personne à l'accueil lors de mon départ me demande si tout c'était bien passé mais visiblement cela ne l'intéressait pas . Une nuit en" promo" une cliente qui ne dîne pas et ne petit déjeune pas non plus sûrement aucun intérêt.

Un lieu enchanté
Pros:

Il se situe dans un lieu préservé tout au fond d'une petite vallée, entouré de forêt et de rochers ou coule une source avec une magnifique cascade. Notre suite jacuzzi était parfaite. La gentillesse de Mathilde à la réception nous a rendu ce séjour très agréable.

Cons:

Un détail, mais au petit déjeuner avoir des plats chaud n'aurait pas été un luxe.

Soggiorno incantevole nel bosco
Pros:

Location incantevole, natura incontaminata. Abbiamo ricevuto gratuitamente un upgrade, stanza con balconcino e vista panoramica. Purtroppo non abbiamo usufruito del ristorante di cui però abbiamo letto recensioni molto positive.

Cons:

La struttura andrebbe un po’ rinfrescata. Siamo capitati in una delle giornate più calde dell’anno e purtroppo in stanza non avevamo l’aria condizionata ma solo un ventilatore. 19 euro per la colazione offerta ci è sembrato troppo, poco varia. Nel complesso il rapporto qualità prezzo, considerata anche l’offerta in zona, ci è sembrato eccessivo.

Gorgeous setting, theme-park version of a château experience, and a level of care for both guests and livestock that lef
Pros:

- The waterfall. Genuinely stunning — nature really carried this one.
- The balcony. 10/10. Everything below it, less so.
- Breakfast pastries were fresh and tasty, and there was a good range of fresh fruit.

Cons:

- Marketed as a château, delivered like a Holiday Inn wearing a wood-panel costume — the “real wood” is real convincing in the photos and real vinyl in person.
- Reception operated on a schedule known only to them. No WiFi code, no orientation, just vibes.
- The listing promises three restaurants. There is one. Unless the other two are invisible, in which case, kudos on the concept.
- There’s a bar in the same way there’s a unicorn in the garden — technically mentioned, never actually seen. No staff, no drinks, no bar. Deeply inconvenient when you’re in the middle of nowhere with zero backup options.
- Bike rental: no. Concierge: no. Themed evenings: no. Walking tours: no. Radio: no. The TV in our room didn’t work either.
- No pool umbrellas, so bring your own shade or your own sunburn.
- Restaurant serving average, overpriced food to a room with a slightly unsettling atmosphere. The wine, to be fair, showed up to do its job properly.
- Little cost-cutting touches gave it away too — the “cheese course” at dinner was just the same cheese from the breakfast buffet, dressed up with a different plate.
- Most concerning: we watched a sick chicken from the coop opposite our room get attacked by other birds. We reported it and asked for help, but no one intervened for over 24 hours. It left us with real doubts about how the animals on the property are cared for.

een zeer slechte ervaring en absoluut geen aanrader.
Pros:

De locatie nabij Arbois was goed. Vanuit damandre is de regio goed te verkennen.

Cons:

De prijs kwaliteit verhouding was volledig zoek. Voor een kamer die € 468 per nacht kost verwacht ik service en die was er niet. Kamer werd niet schoongehouden en was niet schoon toen we aankwamen. Sanitair was verouderd en functioneerde niet goed vanwege alle kalkaanslag. Dat een kamer voor die prijs geen betere temperatuurbeheersing heeft is ook slecht. 1 ventilator is waar we het mee moesten doen. Kortom, een

Décevant, malgré l’emplacement du lieu.
Pros:

Emplacement top.

Cons:

La chambre était vraiment sale.
Pas de parasol à la piscine.
TV et Wifi fonctionnent mal.
Ne mérite pas du tout ses 4 étoiles.
