8/10 Very Good
July 12, 2019
Classic France, mostly amazing with a few niggles.
I stayed here on the last night of an 11 day tour of Europe. When you arrive the patio and view captivate the senses. It is perfect for an afternoon sharing drinks with friends. The oool is delightful, well maintained with plenty of loungers and useful materials to hand. I started with lunch having arrived just after midday. The food was fantastic, the service excellent and attentive. The menu is limited BUT terroir and seasonality clearly hold influence here.
I spent a lovely afternoon on the pool deck.
In the evening I dined again on the veranda. Once again the food was delightful and exquisitely presented. The wine list was superb and covered all price ranges and tastes. The view, across the wooded Moselle valley are a carnival of Jades and Emeralds. I went to the river for a walk after dinner and was treated with spotting a Kingfisher ( martin-pêcheur) zipping along the water like a miniature bolt of lightening.
The accommodation block and the accommodation is the bit that fails to meet ones hopes. The rooms and decor are dated, the bathrooms, while functional were poorly laid out (shower enclosure at other end of bath to shower with no shower hook, toilet in a room so small as to necessitate leaving the door open as sitting was a bit cramped).
It is, then classic French, in so much as underinvested BUT awash with sensory delights. The staff were all lovely. I will, if I can, return.
