2 Years after our first visit we wanted to visit Maison Doucet again, but, due to a silly fault in our planning, we unsuspecting arrived 1 day earlier than booked. Nevertheless the hotel made no problems and did their utmost best to accommodate us with a room and a table in the gastronomic restaurant. Never during all our travels have we experienced such a great service and hospitality. The room, more a suite, was fantastic (in the opposite building) and at night we had a dinner (Immersion Bourgogne) just as memorable as the first one. The plates were delicious and looked like a painting composed with many local ingredients. The flavors were clearly present, but never dominated and always very well balanced. On top of this it were the fantastic 'amuse bouches' who made the dinner experience complete. The explanation of every course was extensive and very expertly. We choose several glasses (not the wine pairings) of great Burgundy wine from the very extensive wine list. So, again we had a fantastic stay in Charolles which is in every aspect worth the journey. As said in our first review Maison Doucet is in our opinion worth **Michelin stars. Last but not least, the overall service and friendliness were impeccable. It completed everything. Shall we return to Charolles one day......?

“A little out of the way but an unforgettable experience.”

The room was large and comfortable as was the bath. Bed very comfortable and there were great views. Indeed you felt at the home of Fredrick Doucet and family. The staff provided the best service I ever had at a lodging. 5 nights.

“Excellent Experience”

Excellent quality of all services during our stay. Absolutely outstanding food for breakfast and dinner. Wonderful and always very friendly service.

We stayed one night at this Relais & Châteaux hotel during a road trip through southern France. While it’s certainly a good hotel, the five-star rating feels a bit generous. Services such as reception and luggage assistance are rather limited, though the overall value for money is fair. The rooms are modern and comfortable, though the open-plan bathroom design might not be ideal: noise can be a nuisance if one person wants to sleep while the other is getting ready. Breakfast was a real highlight: generous, tasty, and served in a beautifully decorated room with a charming little terrace for the summer months. We also tried the hotel’s Bistrot to taste the much-praised Charolais entrecôte, but unfortunately it didn’t live up to the hype. All in all, a pleasant hotel for a short stay, especially as a stopover, but not quite the full five-star experience.
