  • Value for Money Excellent value. Especially if you make use of the restaurant or negotiate a deal for half-board, this is an excellent price in comparison with others from within the same region.
  • Staff Performance Warm and authentic; you feel more like a guest in a family home than in an anonymous hotel.
  • Location Convenience 5/5 for tourism in Tournus; it is hard to beat this spot for visiting the town on foot.
  • Area Vibe The view of the Abbey from some rooms is magnificent, and the Place du Champ de Mars is lively and central.
  • Cleanliness Clean and well kept. Maybe sometimes the general wear and tear of carpets and fabrics gives a less crisp impression than a new build.
  • Breakfast Experience A solid gastronomic experience. The menu is creative and uses high-quality local produce.
