Lovely hotel: the grounds are well maintained, lots of flowers, great pool , the better rooms have a separate swimming pool with a sea view. Dining in Art de Vivre restaurant is a wonderful experience for food lovers. Excellent wine and a free wine tasting for guests. A special wine tour can be booked where you can taste very expensive wines and Alexander who does this tour is very enthusiastic and entertaining. A great stay and I will certainly return.

“A Unique Blend of Vineyards, Sea Breeze, and Fine Wine”

I booked this hotel as a member of the SLH club, without great expectations about either the place or the hotel, since it was an area I had never visited before and didn’t know much about.

I booked this hotel as a member of the SLH club, without great expectations about either the place or the hotel, since it was an area I had never visited before and didn’t know much about. Once again, at reception there was no mention of my SLH booking, but by now I’ve grown used to it. The hotel is set in a truly charming location, surrounded by vast vineyards that paint the landscape with vivid and captivating colors. A vineyard so close to the sea is already a spectacle in itself. After being welcomed—with some difficulty, as the young receptionist struggled with my poor French and I with her limited English—we were shown to our room: small but comfortable, located on the third and top floor of a beautifully renovated farmhouse. The decor was pleasant, and the bathroom had a walk-in shower. We are in Gérard Bertrand’s world, where wine naturally takes center stage. There is a beautiful wine cellar well worth visiting, both to explore and to taste wines from all of Bertrand’s terroirs. The resort also offers a swimming pool, though not very large, and tennis courts. Its real gem, however, is the stunning beach club at Narbonne Plage, which rivals those in Pampelonne—with the not-so-minor difference that the bill here is much gentler. The sea is not quite the same, of course, but the beach alone and the setting of the beach club and the restaurant are worth the trip. Breakfast was good and varied. The resort restaurant, which holds a Michelin Green Star, is run by a mixed team—some still in training, others with a rather picturesque style. The menu is left to the chef’s discretion, and while some dishes were truly surprising in a positive way, others, I would say, less so. At the end, they hand you a parchment with the printed menu and a handwritten dedication so you won’t forget your meal there—a sort of diploma for having dined at that place. Almost as if the exam had been ours, not theirs. Check-out was quick, and this time handled by someone who understood my poor French without too much trouble.

“Rather a *** versus a ***** experience”

We were underwhelmed with our stay at the Chateau l’Hospitalet. The room didn’t look like the room on their website. It was more of an attic room on the 2nd floor without an elevator. The room was nit heated when we arrived. Wifi interrupted multiple times. Food at Saint Paule restaurant was ok. … lisää
