Great location, especially if you are in a EV.
Great location, owner was a Electric car wizz which was helpful at times for someone who was using one of these for the first time. The owners were very prescriptive of how to tidy the flat etc. Perhaps they shouldn't rent on Hotels.com since this wasn't a hotel in any shape or form. It was disappointing that the accomodation wasn't physically in the main Residence, just a small lockoff on the side of the residence

Wonderful Chateau in a mid evil village.
It’s a wonderful experience to stay in this historic château. The hosts are so welcoming. And the decor is cool and one of a kind. We loved it.

The chateau experience
Beautiful accommodation on the Rhône in a gorgeous little village off the beaten track. Very welcoming, personal service, family owned business. Spacious suite, lots of interesting artwork and artifacts throughout. Our room was a bit hot but we had a nice fan and we were in the middle of a heatwave across Europe. Definitely worth staying here. Great value.

Lovely B&B, ran by a wonderful couple who will make you feel at home. The property seats in a beautiful village and sits right next to a river with beautiful mountain views. If possible, I'd suggest you have your dinners there and get to know other guests. Unlike a regular hotel, at this facility, you will feel at home, will get to experience a more organic France and hopefully get to know other people. If you're in the area, this is highly recommended.

We were seeking a place where we could immerse ourselves into the atmosphere of the French countryside immediately after our plane trip from Canada. It fit perfectly. We drove from the Lyon airport through small villages with medieval memories, and were completely transformed on arrival in the tiny village of Vertrieu. The Relais building is authentic and speaks to local history inside and out. The hosts are welcoming and polite. They made outstanding efforts for us, arriving with our luggage still in transit. We had a lovely view of the Rhone and its escarpments from our bedroom. The large bed was ample and very, very comfortable. As there were no other guests off season, we had the bathroom and even a television room for our own use. The meals were simple and delicious. Do take the host`s advice about wines. His suggestions were simple, local, and thoughtful. Prices were most reasonable. The hosts can also advise visitors on the history of the place and the region. They extended themselves to make us comfortable and to become more knowledgeable. This is not luxury; it is authenticity and hospitality personified.

静かに過ごせる宿
マリンの部屋に泊まりました。 ゆったり過ごすのに、素晴らしい環境でした。オーナーも親切で、近くも散歩すると発見があります。内装も可愛らしく、妻も喜んでいました。 9月に入っており、朝食をやっていなかったこと、エレベーターがないことなど、一軒家タイプにある面倒さはあるので、用途を考えて選ぶと良いと思います。

Rude owned
Owner was rude and arrogant. He enforced the 'House' rules like a tyrant and complained about everything you did. I am a polite and silent person who shows respect everywhere i stay but still complained about everything. For example; having to be silent when walking around the room while the floor itself was extremely squeeky. Many more of these complaints were done in an arrogant way.

Un site exceptionnel au bord du Rhône
Charmante maison d'hôtes. L'accueil de Francis et Horia est sympathique. Tutoiement d'emblée. Esprit convivial. On partage le repas avec les autres convives. La cuisine faite par Francis est succulente ( notamment la viande). Le produits sont locaux par priorité. Il faisait beau. La viande s'est fait cuire au barbecue.Top. Pour la chambre ( La Romantique) confort et déco soignée. Pour chipoter un peu on aurait aimé des WC indépendants de la salle de bain. Mais on chipote. Bref un vrai bon souvenir et une adresse qu'on se " refilera" entre amis.
