Pros:

This is a fantastic old building .
The rooms had tiled floors and brick ceilings. Beautiful.
However, this amazing hotel could become a fabulous place.
It could do with tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms and a fridge. Otherwise brilliant.

Long time no see
Pros:

This was our second visit to Domaine de Vareilles after 11 years and we enjoyed it just as much. We had a large comfortable room and the Reception and restaurant were excellent, although the dinner was quite expensive for what it was (31Euros plus wine at 24E).

We would visit again without hesitation.

Pros:

Grande chambre et salle de bain moderne. Calme. Piscine trop froide pour s’y baigner mais de bonne taille. Très peu de personnel, nous n’avons vu qu’une personne. La réception ne répond pas au téléphone et est déserte la plupart du temps. Nous n’avons pas mangé sur place vu les prix. Hôtel étape avec de bonne chambres sans plus.

Très beau mais pas reposant !
Pros:

Le lieu est magnifique mais je suis tombé dans une chambre (la numéro 5) avec des taches d humidités et où la chasse d eau avait un problème ce qui a fait que toute la nuit j ai entendu ploc ploc et je n ai pas fermé l œil de la nuit , à ce jour pas de réponse de l hôtel concernant un éventuel geste

Pros:

The hotel has beautiful stone masonry and a nicely decorated modern decor. Our room had a stone wall with a beautiful marble shower and bathroom. We got a lot of decorating ideas. The only slight drawback was the bed and carpeting. The pool is nicely decorated and very inviting as well. The breakfast was good by French standards.

Very nice and unique place to stay
Pros:

GREAT interesting unique place to stay, the hotel used to be one of the buildings to the chateaux across the street, many original features have been kept like stone walls, floors, and beams. Often you will find a place that looks great on the outside, but the rooms are sterile plain blah and modern looking, not in keeping with the building.- not the case here, nice carpet, feature stone walls in all rooms, fantastic bathroom, great tile, unique mirrors, heated towel rack, a couch and desk, memory foam mattress, thin pillows, but a bedroll helped there. Had an excellent dinner in the former orangery, a bit expensive, limited choice, but well prepared. The €12.00 ea. breakfast is a huge complaint that all Fr. hotels seem to do for a cold continental BK when you can have a 3 course lunch anywhere in Fr. for that price, instead we had cafe and a full ham & cheese baguette for 8.00 for both of us. 2nd morning we opted for a full hot English Breakfast nearby in Chaillac for about the same price. But I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay there again.

Pros:

We only stopped over for one night but what a find, the place is great, the Lady that owns/runs it was wonderful and so hard working. Our family room was perfect for us and a nice swim in the pool with a few drinks was ideal after a long day driving. We dined in the restaurant in the evening and the food was really 1st class, we all enjoyed it. Same at breakfast, plenty of choice to get you started for the day.
Also we thought extremely good value. I wouldn’t hesitate in stopping here again, maybe for a couple of days next time.

Beautiful hotel in need of some tlc
Pros:

The hotel is looking a bit tired but still a beautiful, characterful building in a good location. Reception and waitressing staff were very friendly and helpful but we did have a significant problem with the restaurant food. It took three attempts to deliver a dish to one of our party without the confit de canard croquettes containing a piece of plastic. Staff were very apologetic but this did somewhat affect the enjoyment of the evening meal. Our experience at breakfast was not good either; unfortunately there was no member of staff present in the dining area to make a complaint to: the bread and croissants were not fresh, hard boiled eggs were not hard boiled and cheese, ham and fruit had flies on them.

Friendly staff, simple but comfy room. To bad AC is not available although being close from the river makes nights bearable during very hot days
