Auberge des Clarines sur Le Chatelard

Impeccable and clean room (room number 5 is fantastic) The valley is magnificent. For dinner, you can also go to Taverna dell'Orso (a 5-minute walk in the heart of the village). Open for a month now (family-run), the food is extraordinary and the service is sensational. Bernard Garnier

So, how can I put it? "Excellent!" I love the setting!! It's so typical of the local area, it oozes authenticity!! And the inn has such great taste in decor! Wow, the welcome was top-notch!!! The food, I'd say wow!!!!!!! Truly homemade and fresh!! Delicious, yum! Yum!!! Perfect for families and couples, with cozy rooms!!! And for me, a business trip, it was fantastic!! A real relaxation experience!!! I'd say come on over!!!!!!! 😊😉 Thank you so much for this wonderful time!!!

We were welcomed with great kindness and friendliness. I booked an hour in advance and arrived early, which allowed me to experience their warmth and friendliness (both the owners and the chef). The dining room is very pleasant. We discovered a local aperitif on the owner's suggestion, and we weren't disappointed! The starter, a perfect egg, lived up to its name! The main courses were just as delicious, and the variety of choices was very tempting! It's a shame we couldn't have dessert as our stomachs were already far too full! We'll be back, that's a promise!

A very nice restaurant, the food is excellent, the ingredients are of very high quality, and the whole team is wonderful. I highly recommend this establishment. Isabelle and Thierry.

Last-minute restaurant stop during our motorcycle ride. We received a very warm welcome and had a fantastic meal. We finished with a short nap in the shade. Perfect! Thank you and well done to the chef!

Excellent cuisine, refined and generous. Very warm welcome, lovely service. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

The welcome, the restaurant, the room, the breakfast (the food is made with local products!) Everything was perfect! Thank you ☺️👌🏻

A delightful and welcoming overnight stay! Passing through the Bauges mountains for a business trip, we had the pleasure of discovering this hotel run by a lovely and passionate young couple. Their warm welcome immediately created a friendly atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The food is a true delight: local produce, generous flavors, and above all… a matouille (a local dish) that I'd never tried before and which was absolutely delicious! A real culinary gem. The rooms, simple yet cozy, offered all the comforts needed for a restful night. A huge thank you to them for their hospitality and expertise. An address I wholeheartedly recommend, whether for business or pleasure!

My opinion is mixed. On the one hand, the hotel is very nice: beautiful rooms, tastefully renovated, clean, quiet, and very reasonably priced for a small, independent hotel. Unfortunately, it's the restaurant that, in my opinion, falls short, and I confess I don't quite understand the very positive reviews. The prices for the à la carte dishes are those of a gourmet restaurant, but alas, the dishes lack the originality and refinement of a fine dining establishment. If the portions were generous, one could understand, but that's not the case either. For example, the trout fillet is tiny, accompanied by three small asparagus spears and two spoonfuls of quinoa: it's not enough, and it's also unbalanced compared to the other dishes on the menu, which are more reasonably sized. The service is impeccable; no complaints there. My opinion is therefore mixed, as I am, quite frankly, disappointed with the restaurant's service, which seems below the standard I'm used to experiencing during my tourist trips. However, running an independent hotel in this small town in a mountain range that's relatively untouched by tourism (and all the better for it) is certainly no easy feat. The couple who run the establishment are very deserving, and I wish them every success in their venture. The potential is there; it just needs a few adjustments.

An excellent small hotel in the heart of the Bauges mountains. This intimate hotel is perfect for a relaxing stay. The rooms are pleasant, spacious, and comfortable. Cleanliness is impeccable, and the young staff is very friendly and helpful. The restaurant, accessible even if you're not staying at the hotel, is a real treat. Flavorful cuisine served in a relaxing setting. Thank you to the whole team, keep up the good work, and we look forward to welcoming you back.
