From the first step in the door, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Our room was the Chambres Privelège, which could not have been more beautiful, overlooking the town, gorgeous hotel grounds, and nearby fields of Normandy cows. The room had a full bath with a shower with multiple heads in a deep soaking tub. There was a comfortable large bed for us, and a daybed against the wall that was presented as lovely seating. We enjoyed the in-room Nespresso machine and tea kettle, as well as the tv. The lighting was built into the walls, so as to create an ambiance that was delightful, without glare, with additional retro pendant bulbs for extra light, and there were easily accessible switches and plugs. There was a spiral staircase to get to our room, but the staff carried our luggage up without us asking, which was much appreciated. We ate dinner at the restaurant downstairs, choosing the six course fixed menu. It was in the top three meals I've eaten in my life, and I've eaten at some great Michelin starred places. The lamb shoulder and saddle had a breaded portion that was absolutely exquisite and took my breath away, and the "perfect" 64 minute egg appetizer was spectacular, as were the scallops. Breakfast the next day appeared simple... A basket of bread and chocolate cake, local fruit, coffee, local jams and raw honey, oats, etc., but all spectacularly fresh and delicious. Then our server brought us the best local apple juice I've ever tasted (my husband got orange), local yogurt, and local cheese that was too die for. It was blissfully quiet and unrushed and we could not have enjoyed it more. The hotel is right in the heart of Giverny, just a few minutes walk from Monet's house and gardens. We walked the streets in the dark at night and enjoyed the sights during the day. The hotel had beautiful grounds to relax in and ample free parking. October was a fantastic time to be there, with almost no crowd, so we could easily move around as we pleased without a wait, with gorgeous fall leaves and plenty of flowers at Monet's house and on the grounds of the hotel. The price was a steal, especially compared to a Marriott, etc., and the hotel and restaurant experience was as delightful as seeing the rest of the town. I would go back there in a heartbeat.
