It's a fun place to stay and if your motive is visiting the fine restaurant on site and taking selfies, then it works for a night. However whether it is due to the weight restrictions of the pods, or some financial issues, the finish of the decoration is not up to standard. This is a €300 a night hotel, and I fully expect them to increase this rate in the near future. The finish in the rooms though is akin to a €80-120 roadside motel. Cheap chip board and cheap plastic everywhere, not I do not mean anything custom designed. The double beds are two singles pushed together- unforgivable. The toilet seat the cheapest plastic you could find in Lidl middle isle. Nice to have a Nespresso machine, however 2 pods total? Most hotels would give you a selection and perhaps even a dash of milk if so desired. It is quite possible for the rooms to be plastic filled to reduce weight and yet remain stylish. However little thought has gone into this which is a shame. I do not think I am alone in saying this as well - a staff member told me he hears this often. On the plus side, the staff were wonderful and very helpful. On balance though I would not recommend staying here for more than one night, and only then if you are eating at the restaurant. Definitely do not expect any sort of finesse or smattering of luxury though as aside from the staff, this is not there.

L'hôtel, les restaurants, le domaine, la serre, tout a été source de moments exceptionnels. Une grande équipe réellement compétente et très sympathique travaille sur le domaine. L'alliance entre le talent, la nature et la compétence. Un séjour d'exception que j'ai vécu grâce à eux.

An incredible and magical hotel. Absolutely, the very best hotel I have stayed at, in France. The staff were Excellent. The property grounds is Amazing. Very clean, very safe, very quiet. Parking was excellent. We stayed in one of the modern-art-like "Pods" and it was a very unique and memorable experience. The pool/spa area was also a delight. Highest accolades possible. Thank you for an incredible stay.

Nous y avons passé notre anniversaire. C'était utile de le préciser pour avoir deux chocolats. C'était notre second séjour. Je trouve que les bâtiments ne vieillissent pas bien... Si la literie et le cadre sont agréables nous nous serions passé de la chauve souris écrasée dans la charnière de la fenêtre. Quand au restaurant étoilé, une flânerie à 400€ qui ne valait pas le détour... La Rôtisserie est correcte, a condition d'expliquer à la barmaid qu'un americano peut aussi être un apéritif et non un café... Bref, même si le calme et le spa était au rendez vous, nous ne garderons pas un grand souvenir de notre passage et ne reviendrons pas de sitôt...

Les chambres "nid" sont originales et très agréables, bien équipée et avec une bonne literie. Le SPA est également au top. L'environnement est également très agréable, au calme. Cela dit, le prix reste quand même très élevé en comparaison avec ce que d'autres 4 étoiles peuvent proposer. Le petit déjeuner est correcte mais avec trop peu de choix en salé à mon gout.

Une petite attention pour notre anniversaire de mariage. Cela nous a fait plaisir. Par contre le petit dejeuner n'est vraiment pas a la hauteur d'un hôtel 4 etoiles.
