Great place and wonderful stay!
Pros:

Wonderful authentic hotel, good food, and very friendly host.

Un séjour idyllique dans un cadre merveilleux
Pros:

Nous avons tout aimé:
Un accueil très cordial du patron de l'hôtel. Un contact chaleureux s'établit directement.
Nous en dirons de même en ce qui concerne Eva, la jeune fille qui aide Francis, le patron.
Nous avons pu avoir des conversations très intéressantes avec les deux personnes.
Nous avons bénéficié d'une réduction importante en ce qui concerne la visite du "Glacier 3000" grâce au document fourni par l'hôtelier.
Nous avons également reçu un superbe cadeau de Francis. De mon côté, je lui ai offert mon dernier livre.
Les chambres étaient propres avec tout le confort nécessaire.
Les petits déjeuners étaient excellents... et servis à l'heure qui nous convenait.
Un énorme choix pour les dîners.
En un mot, des hôtes aimables, attentionnés, souriants et un hôtel 'historic' qui a réellement une âme.
Le rêve, quoi !
Bravo !
Nelly & Pol

Cons:

Absolument RIEN.
On aurait aimé séjourner un peu plus longtemps à l'hôtel, mais cela n'était pas possible.
Il faudra revenir une autre fois !

Charming Hotel with a great view
Pros:

This hotel has a lot of charm and a truly authentic atmosphere. As a historic property, it has a unique, original character and beautiful decoration that really sets it apart from modern hotels, which I appreciated a lot.

The bed was very comfortable, allowing me to get a great night’s rest. Breakfast was also very good, with a nice selection of options to choose from.

Finally, the owner, Mr. Barlier, is very kind and easy to talk to, which made the stay even more pleasant. I would happily stay here again.
