Ambiance cosy et séjour Classe où l'on a été très bien reçu
Pros:

La situation est Royale et la taille "humaine" du château permet d'en découvrir tous les recoins, à commencer par la piscine en rez de jardin et celle sur la terrasse du 4èm étage avec sa vue exceptionnelle sur le mont Canigou. Notre chambre était sublime, bien décorée et très confortable. Le petit déjeuner (merci particulier à la Dame de service très attentionnée !) quant à lui est hyper goûteux, on sent la présence d'un authentique pâtissier en cuisine. Le bar est à découvrir : vous devez tester les glaces artisanales !!!

Cons:

Je ne souhaite en aucun cas être négatif et je n'ai rien à dire pour améliorer un manque criant !!! Un douche Italienne, peut-être ? mais à la réflexion, dans un château, aurait-elle sa place ?

Great hotel but no spa
Pros:

The hotel is super nice and staff is great.

Cons:

The hotel was supposed to have a spa, but this is placed in a other hotel where there was no free slot for any treatment. This was pretty disappointing when you expect a nice stay in a spa hotel.

une merveille malgré l'étagement
Pros:

l'ambiance de l'établissement et du personnel, sa situation particulière au sommet de la montagne, son parc et sa vue, mont Canigou compris

Cons:

sa structure aussi étagée entre chambre, réception, piscine et restaurant, et parking, rendant la vie plus difficile pour des vieux

Charm and Authenticity
Pros:

Charm and authenticity, location, place, people, the local cuisine, the philosophy … We love that “home” … truly genuine … “une experience Vraie”

Cons:

If not 100% perfect, and perfection is subjective,
nothing that we did not like per say …
