Le Chateau De Courban sur Courban

We enjoyed a stay in an idyllic setting, steeped in history and with undeniable potential. The property is old and very beautiful, but would benefit from better maintenance: some elements unfortunately give an impression of being outdated, particularly the grounds which seem neglected during the winter months. The room, although clean and equipped with quality bedding, is rather small for an establishment of this standard. We were also surprised by the lack of a minibar and by the in-room amenities, which were not up to 4-star standards, especially considering the price of €315 per night including breakfast, which we found high (plastic water bottle, no welcome biscuits, bleach-stained carpet). The welcome was mixed: while Patricia at reception was particularly friendly and professional, we were disappointed by the lack of staff for about 15 minutes upon our arrival, even though our booking was known (spa reservation at 3 pm). Conversely, the owner was particularly unwelcoming, even unpleasant. The spa, however, deserves special mention: Karen literally saved the experience. The treatment was a magical moment, delivered with great professionalism, at a very reasonable price. She is a real asset to the establishment and fully deserves to be recognized. The lovely bathroom and the breakfast, featuring homemade products, are also strong points. We didn't try the restaurant, but the dining room is exceptional and definitely makes you want to return to experience its cuisine. In short, a place with undeniable charm and a strong character, boasting wonderful human qualities, which would nevertheless benefit from improving certain service and maintenance standards to fully live up to its ambitions and its rating.

Twenty hours at this establishment felt like a three-day getaway... Everything was there to make us feel at home: the surroundings, the facilities, the staff, the Michelin-starred meal... it was all a delight. The spa and massage were fantastic. Karen was perfect, and we thank her most sincerely.

We had a truly lovely one night stay in this boutique hotel in a historic small chateau in a charming little village. Very welcoming and friendly staff. The rooms are big, the beds comfortable and bathrooms beautifully laid out.
