Hôtel du Grand Capelet

This valley is well worth the trip to get up to. It is full of wildlife and world-class mountain trekking, climbing etc. The hosts, Marion & Gabriel, were extremely welcoming and low key. They live there with their family and you feel like you're a guest in their home. The food (we ate breakfast and dinner at the inn and took their picnic lunch on our hikes) was absolutely top notch. They were very accomodating on food preferences and the drinks were great too (they had several house-made fruit-based liqueurs that were quite tasty). The room was very comfortable and rustic with wood paneling and simple furniture. Gabriel speaks excellent english so communication is never a problem for those who don't speak french. He is also an accomplished mountain guide and can help you select a good hiking route for your abilities/interests in the area. The atmosphere was just completely relaxing the whole time we were there. They have 4 pet chickens which are also quite nice.

Excellent accueil, cadre magnifique, chambre très propre et très bonne literie. En ce qui concerne le pic nic, il y a des choses à améliorer : pour des gens qui partent randonner, nous avons eu une box en carton avec une salade de pois cassés...(déjà il faut aimer), qui à l'arrivée a dégouline dans le sac à dos, un sandwich aurait été le bienvenu. Il y avait aucune boisson, la part de cake transparente...c'est dommage !!!!!

Hôtel idéalement situé au départ de très beaux chemins de randonnée ou juste à côté. Magnifique vallée de la Gordolasque. Accueil chaleureux et l'hôtelier a été de très bons conseils pour le choix des randonnées. Cuisine vraiment excellente ! Très bon petit déjeuner. Nous avons passé un séjour qui nous a fait beaucoup de bien.
