"Super séjour hors saison "

"Excellent stopover. Desk staff were very helpful. bedding was excellent however bathroom towels were tragic and overall cleanliness in the bathroom left something to be desired. No smoking however faint odor of smoking on the bedding."

"Excellent dinner, lovely spacious room. Thoughtful staff"

"The villa is in a small community of homes with enough privacy to think you were completely alone. The pool and gardens are beautiful and our children thoroughly enjoyed this aspect, both very well kept.Inside the villa you have two rooms upstairs with a bathroom with bath and a library on the landing overlooking downstairs, all very clean. Downstairs you have another 2 bedrooms (one with a TV and sofa bed) and a further bathroom with shower. Again all very clean and tidy. The living room space and dining area are much bigger than the photos so this was a nice surprise with a large fire in the centre (we didn't use this as we visited at the end of July) the villa also had aircon in the living area. The kitchen came fully equipt with lots of utensils and pots and there is a large fridge, three drawer freezer, dishwasher and microwave to use. The kitchen is quite small so preparing dinner was a little challenging when cooking for seven of us. The only negative is that the kitchen cupboards and the wardrobes in the rooms had a fair bit of clutter so I had to move some things in the kitchen and couldn't really hang anything in the wardrobes, this is such a minor thing though.The host Frédéric was amazing from start to finish, answered emails quickly, answered lots of my questions and gave us lots of details for check in. You won't be disappointed if you stay here."

"Just perfect "

"Les Jardins de Joséphine is a charming hotel in a lovely location with beautifully maintained gardens and a high-standard building. It’s a short drive from the city, and there’s a bakery and coffee shop within walking distance. The room was stylish, comfortable, and spotless. While not huge, it had plenty of space, a comfy bed, and a modern bathroom with a great shower. Including hair conditioner would be a nice extra. The main downside was the check-in process. The hotel doesn’t have a reception and sends an access code for the gate—but I never received it. The gate system wasn’t working properly, and the call button went unanswered. I eventually reached someone by phone who came to help, but they also struggled with the gate. It would be helpful if the hotel reviewed reservations more regularly or set up an automated system to send codes and instructions as soon as a booking is made. If you’re arriving, go to the metal main gate entrance. There are two, and the wooden one is not ideal — driving around to the correct one saves confusion. Despite the check-in issue, I really enjoyed my stay. With a few tweaks to the arrival process, it would be a near-perfect spot for a relaxing getaway."
