We truly enjoy the peace, the beautiful pool, and especially the breakfast at Le Vieux Castillon. It’s a place we love returning to again and again.

What I particularly didn't like was the lack of any kind of safety rail for entering and leaving the pool. I have a bad knee and this is a major problem as it is very easy to fall over when going down steps in water. For me this was a major problem, , which stopped me from going into the water as much as I would have done in previous years. I love France, but I have to say that it would be against the law not have a handrail for entering and leaving a pool in England.

The hotel restaurant was a big improvement on last year. The hotel is extremely clean and the staff are very pleasant. This was the fifth time we stayed in the hotel and intend to go back next year.

No parking available (only valet service). Breakfast could be better. Some equipment was outdated or low quality (e.g. non-working phone, cheap power strips, very old elevator). Overall, the experience didn't quite match what I expect from hotels in this category.

Good breakfast, nice pool, relaxing atmosphere, and the patio felt like an outdoor lobby.

Slight issues with wifi in the bedrooms.

Beautiful ambiance and architecture. The people were all very welcoming and the food was delicious.

Is it wrong or say that we would have preferred a pool not heated to 28. 🤦‍♂️ Honestly though Nothing to dislike ❤️

Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. Every member of staff was always exceptionally helpful. Be it drinks by the pool or tips on river swimming locations.

The staff is sometimes not as attentive as I would expect for the classification and the price. They offer valet service and when I wanted to get my car in the evening I was told I need to walk myself as the Valet person was already off. When arriving at the pool the first day I had to search the grounds for someone to order a drink.

Amazing location and very beautiful rooms with very high standard. The food and breakfast was incredible and really tasty. The choice offered at the breakfast was high in quality and variety.

The pool was stunning, and the staff were very helpful. We loved walking around the town.

Nothing really

The pool was amazing, the food was amazing, the staff were amazing. They use Clarins products throughout the hotel. It was such a perfect, relaxing stay in a small town so there were some shops / restaurants to walk to but you still felt isolated in the country. It was easy to drive to nearby towns and wineries. The staff were super helpful in recommending activities.

We actually struggled at times to comunicate w personnel as not everyone was speaking English. Nevertheless - those who were - proved to be exceptional in their welcoming and very helpful

Breakfast was a bit pricey.

Tasteful and interesting use of old buildings. Beautifully styled. Lovely friendly staff.

Having to pay extra for breakfast.

Great setting and the hotel has been beautifully restored. It’s calm and welcoming. The breakfast was ok but the evening meal was absolutely delicious and worthy of a Michelin star restaurant, we don’t often say that as we are vegetarian. The staff were very helpful. We had a great stay and would definitely rebook if we come back to this area.

Breakfast was disappointing for the price they charge. We felt they could do much better. Personally I wouldn't bother paying extra for it. We were in a room with a terrace which was great but the bathroom was up about 3 or 4 steps, so take a torch with you for night-time loo trips!. The room is up 3 flights of stairs. Shower is in the bath. Not an issue for us but a problem if you have mobility issues and should be flagged up when booking I feel. No information about the hotel or the local area readily available. Staff were always professional but a bit remote, not overly 'warm' (except the evening waiting staff and the man who takes away the cars - they were friendly).

The village itself is quaint. We loved the pool and lounger area of the hotel. There are 3 restaurants in the village (plus the village BAR, which is a MUST to experience). The local restaurants all close on a Wednesday, so we ate in the hotel, which was fine but not as good as being out in the village (in our opinion).

Great location, very nice rooms and amazing breakfast

Stayed in October 2023

the poolside bar was outrageously expensive. 14 euros for a pint of beer is extortionate, 9 euros for a bottle of sparkling water is equally bad. Its such shame as it put a negative spin on our time by the pool. it seems like they are trying to rip off the tourists as they know there aren’t too many other options in the area

very clean, friendly staff, great atmosphere

The Breakfast is really below average. Over priced and very corporate. I have eaten better in a 1 ⭐️ The restaurant is overpriced and pretentious.

Lovely staff and location. The village is beautiful.
