- Road Closures Imperil Travelers
- Very off the beaten track following rather rough country winding roads. Beautiful scenery. Beautiful property. Excellent food.
- I once saw a banner above the reception desk in an American hotel that said “The answer is yes, now what is your question?” This hotel has exactly the same attitude towards customer service, which is rare. Every single member of staff were completely dedicated to making your stay enjoyable. The decor was so nice, the rooms full of comfort, the spa small but very well designed, the massages sublime. Food was varied, interesting and delicious. The tranquility was amazing, I am a bad sleeper but managed almost 9 hours, unheard of. I am already planning my next trip back.
Cons -
- Road closures extended the transport time by over an hour on extremely remote roads. This was communicated by the hotel a day prior to the non-refundable reservation, however being in such a remote location we did not receive the notice until too late. There is a single sign for the hotel at point of road closure, but no other indication. Communication was the most significant issue here.
- Very remote.
- Absolutely nothing.

Absolutely nothing.
The staff was super friendly, the SPA was amazing, and the rooms were very clean. Everything was exceptional! The breakfast was great!
Breakfast was fantastic--even had eggs, bacon, and fresh honeycomb. The renovated building and grounds were spectacular, luxurious, and nostalgic. I kept my window open at night and the water feature outside made for great sleeping, along with the cool night air. The staff were attentive an mostly eager to help. They apparently just opened only a year ago. I felt fortunate to be there. I would like to ahve had time to go mountain biking. Not sure if they have bikes or not. The smart TV had all of the fun apps to enjoy movies, music, etc. That helped me to just rest while it rained outside. The dinner menu had some spectacular dishes--especially the tartare. Wow.
Over time, they might be able to have a bit more staff that can guide English-speaking folks like me.
The atmosphere is amazing, true relaxation in the nature. Staff is also really kind and helpful. The breakfast were astonishing. It was super clean everywhere.Everything in this place is though thoroughly.
The location, the building and the services offered create an environment of peace that is needed by most. The quality and attitude of the hosting crew are the cherry on the cake.
As many rooms I had in other hotels, it is missed a flat surface where to keep and open a cabin size luggage. The minimalism of the room, which I love, with the wardrobe replaced with a simple hanging bar, cover the clothes which can be hanged, still there are complements normally stored in drawers, not present in most hotels as well, which now stay in the case and should easily accessed anytime.
Prime location for a quiet getaway. The chapel was charming and an excellent place to pray and reflect. the fresh spring water offered throughout the property was refreshing and tasted pure and crisp.
there was no “historical” documentation. We would have LOVED reading about how the restoration was done and some more history on the monastery and any archeological insights from the location.
The location and nature around it.
There was a strange smell in our room at evenings. Also there were small bugs around the hotel.
What a wonderful place to stay - we are coming back for sure! I'm a chef, and the restaurant of the Relais really topped my expectations. The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere of the place was so relaxing and comfortable, even though the place is super fancy.Also my now fiance proposed to me out in front of the Relais, so of course the place will from now on always be special for us.
The room we stayed in was right above the kitchen, which we could hear. The noise didn't bother us though. The pillows were too high for me personally. But, you see, if this is the "worst" things to complain about, the stay was awesome.
Beautifully designed and good food!
Everything was just perfect
The specifics about the spa, that were explained by the employees
