Quiet and quirky
Quirky hotel in quiet area. Said it had private parking but this hotel does not have it. A few spaces opposite but we were offered to park out of sight beyond a church that did not feel at all secure (and mentioned to remove all valuables in the hotel room book). Our room had shower and toilet down stairs at a lower level but in same room area. Evening meal was nice but limited menu.

Unique and unusual.
Little cosy hotel run by nice family.It is little, but got everything: restaurant, sauna, gym, even pool. Fully worth it's name, the design of this hotel is amazing. A little hard to get there, but now with internet and GPS everything is possible.

Hotel des Francs Garcons
Unfortunately, this hotel was the classic example of getting the worst room in the hotel because I purchased my reservation on Hotels.com. It was a lovely setting but I couldn't stand up in most of the room because it was in the roof of the building.

Charmigt hotell i en liten by
Ett utmärkt hotell för att turista i cognac, utmärkt frukost som avnjutes utomhus på terrassen i skuggan vid poolen, som ger ett svalkande dopp innan middagen serveras kl 20:00
