Le Clos Cathala Chambres d'Hotes

Tremendous service, wonderful food and beautiful surroundings. The most wonderful venue and idyllic surrounds. A perfect place for a night or two. The food was incredibly tasty, all locally sourced and the service attentive and understated. Hard to fault!.

It was a one-of-a-kind antique French château experience (but the American idea of chateau, since the literal translation is actually a stone castle). This mansion home was purchased by a French renown chef so the restaurant and catering is the biggest draw besides the gorgeous countryside view at every angle. They prepared a 5 course meal, despite ordering the 3 course meal with wine. However, they also offered me complimentary tastings of dishes from an event they were simultaneously catering with my aperitif. The wine pairings were expertly served. It is the perfect small private gathering venue, and could see it being a dreamy wedding venue. No guest wifi standardly available for international travelers… yet. Cellular service works quite well for French phones. Not best if you expect to work using the web. Don’t expect contemporary hotel service, but rather a more friendly country inn type of greeting and staff availability, and expect interesting details of your environment everywhere you look.

Charming property in a very idyllic setting and very friendly staff even if they are hard to get hold of! A service where you can text if you need to ask a question or need a drink should be available. The property is almost 500 years obut the bathrooms really need updating. The fittings are ancient , paint coming off the walls and the bath very, very used. The room we stayed in was too cold, there needed to be heating. However we did have a lovely stay.

Last minute booking and how lucky were we! Fantastic place to bring the bikes and lovely hotel. The service was excellent as was the food for dinner and breakfast. I liked the fact they had so much local quality products used and on sale.The setting is spectacular and the rooms large and comfortable. We will return
