Pros:

Just on the outskirts of Nantes a little oasis of calm. Beautifully appointed rooms with good air-conditioning and a very comfortable bed. The bistro was very busy with non residents and the food was delicious.

Cons:

The swimming pool is in the courtyard of the buildings and anyone lounging by the pool is within view of guests in the bar and bistro.

Pros:

Location.
Good restaurants and wine choice

Cons:

Room had no headroom, with a lot of low beams
Was not suitable for a tall person.
We were refused a room move when the hotel was not full.
This room should have a warning about the head room.

Traumhafte Location
Pros:

Wunderschöne Unterkunft, sehr geschmackvoll und elegant eingerichtet. Großzügige Zimmer mit sehr bequemen Betten, hochwertige Pflegeprodukte. Wir waren rundum zufrieden.

Cons:

Wir mussten lange auf die Bedienung in der Brasserie warten um auch nur den Aperitif bestellen zu können. Leider war dann auch der Wein zum Hauptgang vergessen gegangen.

Pros:

Stunning building. Lovely pool

Cons:

The only criticism I have was that the shower room and separate toilet were both VERY small. If you were slightly cuddly in build you may find both rooms difficult !
