Chateau du Clos de la Ribaudiere

Very happy to return and make good our promise from 2018. We took a room in the main building this time, which suited us very well. The place remains as characterful as we remember, and the restaurant was almost as good as last time. Our only disappointment this time was the weather. Staff are friendly and welcoming. We would recommend, even in the face of some of the mixed reviews on here (you can't please everyone).

Before booking this hotel, read the reviews. Our bad experience isn't a one off. We were looking forward to our stay in a Château and a gormet dinner. The reality was a window less room, with tired decor, and no table in the restaurant. The staff didn't seem bothered we were bitterly disappointed. So, after a 7 hour drive to get to this isolated Château, we had to get back in the car and went looking for somewhere to eat. So, that was our experience. It's your call.

What a beautiful location, stayed in the chateau in an attic room. Some low beams at 6’3 not an issue. Room was lovely, not a great view from the window but extremely comfortable, good A/C which was required as temperatures in 30’s. Used the outdoor pool which was lovely as the temperatures very hot for September, the outdoor seating is very pleasant had a couple of drinks and the service was friendly and helpful. Had a walk around the spa which looked to have everything you would want. We booked a table for our evening meal which was on the terrace, opted to have set menu of four courses however you receive several tasters before your meal so ends up seven courses. We ate everything as the food was exceptional. Had a couple of bottles of wine at €20 a bottle which I thought was great value as a pint was €9. Breakfast in the morning was not included but we opted to pay and again the choice was excellent value. From the minute we arrived till we left the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, can highly recommend.
