Best Hotels near Castle of Tardes, Saint-Macaire

We arrived at this hotel on a particularly hot day when temperatures had exceeded 40 degrees. We walked into the Reception area and then onto our room. Everywhere was impressively cool. The air conditioning was doing it's job well, however would the unit in our room sound for instance like an old and loud motorbike? Far from it ”quietly efficient” would best describe it. Easy to have a good night's sleep. Our room was a good size with both a kettle and small fridge. However there were no complimentary tea and coffees, or room safe. Strange. Remember to pack your own. Also worth mentioning that unlike some other chains, they don't have a bar. An ice cold beer upon arrival would have been very welcome on such a hot day. Everywhere was very clean and we felt Covid safe. Breakfast was a little disappointing with not a lot of choice and with the baskets not being always replenished. There are lots of places to eat close by in the evening, provided you are happy to eat at a fast food chain, rather than a quaint family owned bistro. One additional bonus. This hotel is very close to the Peage Station and very easy to find. It saved us 10 minutes compared to where we normally stay. We will stay here again.

Back to Trip advisor! : ))) Since covid I stopped posting here, but with this tourism boom I thought it best to come back and continue to cooperate, as I continue to read Trip advisor before traveling, so everyone's review can be important for all of us. Start with what I loved. This hotel has all the ingredients for a perfect stay. Our suite was excellent, large, with taste and priceless details by Lalique, with various views of the castle and vineyards, impeccable beds and sheets, so important, heated well, bathroom just right comfortable and extremely clean. Thanks! We slept really well. And We’ve even a little gift from lalique on arrival, I loved it. Professional people, attentive to all requests. The hotel castle is small and isolated, but I like that, and with our car we discovered other vineyards and heritage nearby. The hotel has a shop for wine tourism, selling beautiful bottles of wine, etc., Lalique products are always very beautiful to buy, I am suspicious because I am a fan of the brand. And of course the hotel has an excellent 2 star Michelin restaurant, which I will write about later. There could be another normal Restaurant for everyday life, otherwise lunch and dinner everyday at the 2 Michelin star is not always recommended for all reasons.… so we would have stayed more nights But in the end, I think it's the restaurant that attracts people to the hotel. Although the hotel is great in itself, in addition to the incredible Lalique brand. We'll be back for sure.

Good stopover on our way from Normandy to Spain (if you do not wish to see Bordeaux). Excellent welcome from the male receptionist. The restaurant was closed. However, there was no kettle in the room and we really needed a hot drink, after a long drive. The receptionist provided fantastic service; bringing a beverage tray to the room with kettle, etc and hot milk! The room was very clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room in the bedroom and bathroom. The king size bed was comfortable and the towels were good. We left the car in the good sized car park and took the short walk into town. Regrettably, there were no bars and the only food we saw was a take away pizzeria so we were pleased we had eaten during our journey. When we arrived at the hotel it was very warm but the air conditioning worked and was not too noisy. The floor covering in the room and on the corridors provided good sound insulation. We had a very quiet night, This hotel has no frills but everything was well designed and in full working order. Very good value for money.
