It is a beautiful property, but keep in mind the kind of people who will be staying in a place that costs usually $700-1100 a night: pretentious and less pleasant. The culture may not be what you have in mind. Also, we paid $100 for a club sandwich and two glasses of Champagne at their bar when we wanted a light snack.
It was gorgeous but there is not much to do in the hotel. In addition, when booking, be sure to note that you are in the main hotel, not cottage. It costs the exact same and you feel like a third class citizen who is not good enough to stay in main hotel. They werent responsible for this issue, but when you are booking, just double check.
Also, and perhaps this is an issue all over France, but is hard to get the front desk to help with things like reservations. Ultimately, they helped, which I am thankful for, but they were unwilling to call Veuve for us because “they had not made the booking.” So if i have any advice, have them make all your booking so they can then feel responsible to help you with them.
All this said, there is a lovely older woman with a short bob cut that was kind to us all the way through. Merci to her.
