We last visited 5 years ago, and we were pleased to be back. It was even lovelier than I remembered. It was extremely hot during our stay, in the 40s, so were very pleased with the pool, and we made good use of it. Rooms are clean and had in-room safe, fan (no air con). In the bathroom there is soap and an all-encompassing shower gel/shampoo (no conditioner), along with a hairdryer. No kettle. No problem, we brought our own travel one. We had booked a room at the back of the hotel which had pool and valley views. We took breakfast every morning on the terrace, which was plentiful and delicious. You pre-order the night before. Coffee/tea, juice, bread, croissants, pain au chocolat, melon, ham, cheese, cake, butter, jam, muesli, and the most delicious homemade yogurt. 13€ a head. All served with a smile by whoever was on duty. We had dinner one evening too. That was delicious. We chose to sit in the dining room as it was very slightly cooler than sitting outside. I’ve left a separate review for that. There are many lovely restaurants in the town, a few of which are in the Michelin guide. Beware though, most of them, and the shops, are shut on a Monday. Annick and Philippe, the owners, are very present, extremely pleasant and helpful. Also, Delphine on reception was a delight. There is underground parking at the hotel, 8€ a night, which we used. Not only was it convenient, but it meant our car was cool when we got in it, rather than being out in the sun at 40 degrees plus. The hotel is in an excellent location, only a few mins walk from the ‘high street’ of Lectoure, with restaurants and shops. Also a very lovely patisserie, if you walk up to the ‘high street’ turn left and it’s a few minutes along on your left. We bought homemade quiche and sandwiches, cakes and cold drinks, for our lunch. We had a lovely afternoon out at La Romieu, a village about half an hour drive away, that has the most amazing garden (opens at 2pm), Les Jardins de Coursiana. We had lunch beforehand at a super restaurant called L'Etape d'Angeline (highly recommend) in a lovely village, that is well worth a wonder. So, all in all, would highly recommend this hotel. Thankyou so much for having us.
