Une très belle découverte parmi les Relais & Châteaux
Pros:

Un magnifique bâtiment moderne situé au calme absolu et disposant d’installation d’exception.

Cons:

Il faut bien compter 15 minutes en voiture sur des petites routes sinueuses pour atteindre l’hôtel depuis la sortie de l’autoroute. Il y a deux routes d’accès. L’une très étroite (impossible de croiser), l’autre plus accessible par l’ouest. Pour visiter les environs c’est un peu laborieux, mais s’il s’agit de rester sur place et se reposer, c’est parfait.
Le restaurant étoilé était fermé lors de notre séjour. Nous avons été un peu déçus par le second restaurant de l’établissement.
