1. ALAIN ET DOMINIQUE - NANCY
Des amis nous avait conseillé la Villa Paris pour la qualité et le confort des chambres. C‘est ce que nous
y avons trouvé, la maison est digne d‘un 3 étoiles, chambre superbe, déco soignée... bref d‘excellentes
prestations mais la bonne surprise c‘est Marie. Marie est la maîtresse des lieux; elle nous a accueillis avec
chaleur et gentillesse, attentive à assurer une présence efficace (quand nous cherchions à nous orienter
dans Paris il a suffi de demander !) et attentive à nos désirs (même celui d‘être tranquilles au réveil face à
un petit-déjeuner copieux). Voilà ! La Villa Paris nous a conquis et a ensoleillé notre petit week-end à
Paris !
2. FLO – COLOMBES
Passer une nuit dans une maison à Paris... le rêve! même pour les banlieusards que nous sommes! La
chambre Concorde, que nous avons occupée avec notre fille est spacieuse, claire, moderne et gaie. Le
confort top classe avec un lit hyper confortable et immense.
L‘accueil est chaleureux et discret, et le p‘tit déj!!! croustillant...
Et le petit plus, en ce week end ensoleillé : les bornes Velib juste en face!
Mon conseil : précipitez-vous avant que cette charmante maison d‘hôtes ne devienne trop célèbre!
3. DOVAROMA – GB
We were made to feel very welcome at La Villa Paris, - we stayed in The Opera room with twin beds
which were very comfortable, and all the necessary facilities which included a very good and spacious
shower. Electric shutters to the large windows, and air conditioning both enhanced the three night stay
and my daughter and myself both slept well, with no street noise or problems.
Other reviews are absolutely true! - Marie is a very friendly and likable hostess, from the moment we
arrived she made us feel very welcome and provided a lot of useful information including a Map of
Paris which proved very useful, particularly when we needed to plan Metro routes.
The short walk to the nearest Metro (Place d‘Italie) soon became very familiar, - passing a variety of
smaller shops and cafes. (I would definitely recommend buying a stock of metro tickets to have in
hand).
We chose to have breakfast at 9am every morning which was fine, - everything was set out ready for us,
juice, tea and coffee, different types of bread on each day, - croissants and very tasty jam!
We will definitely be recommending La Villa Paris to any friends who plan to visit Paris. - Thank you
Marie, we had a lovely time!

4. CAROL WONG - HONG-KONG
My husband and I spent six days in Paris as part of our honeymoon. We stayed at this place because of
all the great comments about the place and the keeper Marie. All the comments were so true!
Tasteful decor. Clean and comfortable room. Good wifi connection. Flat TV. Nice bathroom. Great
breakfast.
Marie is a very nice and helpful host. She got so much useful information for us as a tourist. She would
also let us know each morning if there are any additional and new information that we could make use
of (say on the Music Festival we could buy discount tickets and travel free overnight), etc. etc. Grateful
to her for everything!
Btw, my husband still misses her coffee!
5. ANDYMW - GB
Took my wife to stay here for a surprise 30th birthday present. Very much agree with what‘s already
been said in the other reviews: comfortable bed, clean, stylish décor, delicious breakfast etc. We stayed
in the Champs Elysees room and enjoyed having such a large and luxurious bathroom, with a really
powerful shower and a jacuzzi bath. Marie is the perfect hostess: charming, friendly and helpful. She
was happy to chat to us each morning about places to visit and also recommend and book restaurants
for us (which were excellent). La Villa Paris is about a 15 min walk from the nearest metro station,
however we didn‘t find this too much of an issue as the neighbourhood you walk through feels quite
safe. There is also a bike station right outside if you‘re happy to cycle. Only problem we experienced
was on the first night when the air conditioning kept making a strange buzzing noise which kept us
awake even after we‘d switched it off, but Marie got this sorted the following day, and agreed to give us
a discount because of this. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and had a fantastic long weekend in Paris
– we‘d definitely like to return for another stay.
6. ARIELARAFE - USA
I had procrastinated planning our France trip and couldn‘t find a reasonable price hotel and decided to
stay at a B&B instead. We got into Paris early in the morning and had booked a car through Viator
(suggest to read all comments on Viator website before booking any trips with them because we had
good and bad experiences booking services and trips with them) at the airport and since the B&B is in
the suburban area, the driver had a bit of a hard time finding it even with a GPS.
However, we were delighted to find Marie with our room ready and she had even offered us cookies
and coffee for refreshment. She then gave us information on Paris and maps with local entertainment
guide that described each must-see neighborhood. Our room is very modern with flat screen TV and a
separate toilet and bath so it was easier for my husband and I to get ready in the morning. Our bed is
super comfortable with softest sheets.
Every night - Marie left us a small board at our front door asking us when do we want to have
breakfast the next morning which had the freshest bread and fruits from the local market along with
fruit juices, tea and coffee. We had originally asked for eggs and even though Marie do not serve them,
she went out of her way to get them for us and let us cooked them in the kitchen. She is also very
thoughtful too because we had to leave at the crack of dawn one morning for a day trip and the local
markets are not open yet. She had prepared crackers, cheese and yogurt for us so we wouldn‘t starve.
She have got to be the nicest hostess in Paris.
The B&B is a bit out of the way to the city center. The nearest train station is about 5-6 blocks and it
took us 30 minutes to most places in the city. It is in the suburban area without that much restaurant so
I would suggest to have your meals before coming back to the hotel even though you can store your

water, fruits...etc in the refrigerator. There is a bus station nearby that Marie had recommended that
took us directly to Notre Dame and it was a really good scenic ride to go through the local streets.
I would definitely come back to La Villa the next time I go to Paris for vacation.
Best place we have ever stayed in France. Wonderfully clean and Marie is the perfect host and she
speaks perfect English. If we come back to Paris will definitely stay here again.
7. DESLIN – GB
We just loved La Villa Paris. Marie made us feel very welcome. Having not been to Paris before we
didn‘t have a clue how to get around but Marie told us how to get around on the buses, Metro etc. Our
room was brilliant, very clean and modern. We highly recommend this bed and breakfast. We can
honestly say this was one of the best ones we have stayed in.
8. NATALIEMC - GB
We stayed for 3 nights at La Villa Paris over the late May Bank Holiday and had a wonderful time.
The rooms are beautifully decorated, very contemporary yet still French. We stayed in the Opera which
had a huge comfy bed and a small, but gorgeous bathroom, with a very powerful hot shower. Nice
fluffy towels and crisp white linen, little chocolates left on the on the bed, so many small details that
really make a difference.
As people have said, Marie is very friendly, helpful and accommodating and serves the most delightful
continental breakfast – croissants, fresh bread, cheese & ham, freshly made Jams, cereals & fruit, juice,
tea and coffee – delicious. Nothing is too much trouble.
A short walk from Cite Universitaire (RER), as well as a short walk in the other direction to Place
D‘Italie (Metro), and once you are on either it is only about 10 minutes into the Heart of the City.
If you don‘t mind being that little bit away from it all, then I would definitely recommend staying here.
9. PDUECK - USA
It‘s difficult to find a really great place to stay while in cities like London or Paris. After a wild search
online I found La Villa Paris and was glad I did. My friend and I had decided to stay in Paris over
Christmas and the proprietor was happy to let us come and stay. She was extremely helpful in giving us
directions, suggestions of places to eat and lovely maps! I love maps. The breakfast was fresh break,
croissants, Nutella, jams, tea and coffee. A wonderful spread!
The bathroom was humungous and the shower had great water pressure. The beds were comfortable
and very, very clean. Actually, everything was very clean.
On Christmas Eve we came back from a day of sightseeing and Maria had placed a bottle of wine and
some fabulous chocolates for us to celebrate Christmas! What a treat that was!
I would definitely tell others to stay at La Villa Paris!
10. 3BERGEN – BELGIQUE
Just returned from a 2 night stay at La Villa Paris and it was wonderful! It felt like a home away from
home and our champ elysees room was cosy, spacious, nicely decorated. The bed was very nice, slept
like a rose. Also nice was the jacuzi, very nice to relax after a long day walking through the streets of
Paris!

The B&B is nicely located and it‘s very convenient to the Metro and bus 67 stops across the street and
brings you to the Louvre and the Notre Dame and Pigalle.
We felt very welcome and Marie did everything to help us find our way across town, thanks Marie for
everything!!
We will certainly come back to the Villa and we recommend you stay there whenever in Paris!
B - LA GURINIÈRE (MALAKOFF 92)
http://www.tripadvisor.fr/Hotel_Review-g187147-d648601-Reviews-La_Guriniere-Paris_Ile_de_France.html
11. JULIECWIGAN - GB
I stayed at La Guriniere for 3 nights in July with my two daughters, age 16 and 13 and we loved it. The
room was very pretty and "french" and spotlessly clean. Micheline was lovely, very, very helpful and the
breakfast was delicious, croissants, bread, juice and coffee. Nothing was too much trouble. We only
met her husband once; but he seemed very nice. We were advised to take the Air France bus number
13 outside CdG airport to Gare Montparnesse, which was very busy. From here you get on the Metro
line 13 in the direction CHATILLON MONTROUGE and leave it after 5 stations at MALAKOFF
PLATEAU de VANVES. From Malakoff there is a short walk to La Guriniere.
As we arrived early, Micheline let us leave our luggage (even though she was very busy cleaning the
room) and gave us a metro map and directions to the "sights of Paris". The metro is an excellent way of
getting around and you never have to wait more than a couple of minutes. We saw the Eiffel Tower
and the Arc de Triomphe; took the Batobus trip down the Seine and spent a lovely afternoon in the
Latin quarter and visited the Sacre Coeur (my favourite spot!).
On Saturday evening we walked up the Champs Elysee and stopped to eat. We checked the menu
prices for a pasta dish and it seemed reasonable. BEWARE!!!! The menu prices for drinks are not
displayed. I was charged 39 Euros for 2 "medium sized" glasses of lemonade and a small glass of wine.
WHAT A RIP-OFF!!! When I queried this with the waiter, who was rushed off his feet, he apologised
and said the drinks are usually more expensive than the food! If you look at the menu (in small print at
the bottom!) you MUST order a drink when purchasing food. It‘s sad really that they have to treat
tourists like this. They are already making a massive profit, it‘s just pure greed.
Any way, it didn‘t spoil our trip it was wonderful. Just make sure you don‘t get ripped off and take
some comfortable shoes, it‘s a big city. As for La Guriniere, it‘s PERFECT! I would recommend it to
anyone and would love to go back.
12. CARICHRISTIAN - GB
We have been meaning to write this review for a year now, but it‘s funny how life gets so busy. My wife
and I stayed at La Guriniere for four days in late July 2007. We had checked out trip adviser reviews
before booking directly with Micheline, and thought the reviews were very good. Little did we know
how amazing this little gem would be.
We arrived at the airport and took a transfer Air France bus to the train depot where we caught the
Metro to Malakoff suburb of Paris. The Metro ride was very easy and fast not more than 12 minutes.
Upon arriving in this quaint town, a resident couple saw us looking at a map trying to figure out exactly
where it was we were to go. The lovely French couple politely asked if they could help us with
something. We communicated to them that we were staying at La Guriniere and this couple who were
on their way into the metro train, took the time to walk us straight to the front gate. Then they
cheerfully said "enjoy France‘ and hugged us. Wow what a reception!

Upon ringing the buzzer, we were warmly greeted by Micheline. She then showed us where we would
be staying. The room was everything we could have wanted and much nicer than any picture could
show. The bathroom was very clean and modern and practical. Every morning we would be greeted
with a warm French breakfast to start off our day (freshly baked that morning).
Micheline would be around to answer any questions we might have about our travel plans for the day.
She and her husband Jean Paul, did spend a lot of time helping us plan our site seeing, which saved us
tons of time wandering around Paris aimlessly. Travel to all the major sites in Paris was very easy and
less than 20 mins travel time. The Metro subway is super efficient compared to the tube in London or
anything we have here in North America.
The hospitality and generosity given to us by Micheline and Jean Paul was second to none ! Our
honeymoon in France started at their beautiful bed and breakfast and we could never have imagined
staying in such a wonderful place and meeting such nice people.
13. DOMINICVAIL - USA
Loved La Guriniere and will stay there again. We (my wife, Brother, and I) spent 8 days at La Guriniere
while sightseeing and vacationing in Paris. The place is pretty remarkable. The rooms are large, clean,
quiet and sunny (shutters for sleeping). The breakfast was great and the owner, Micheline, comes every
morning with hot coffee, warm croissants, a baguette, and juice. She and her husband Jean-Paul are
very nice and live next door in a separate home. Micheline helped us with recommendations which
improved the quality of our stay enormously. One of her local Malakoff recommendations is il
Pomodoro, an Italian restaurant, and it was wonderful and inexpensive. The B&B is located within
zones 1 and 2 of Paris and very near a metro station. We purchased the visit Paris 5 day metro pass
(and another 2 day) which allows unlimited use of the metro. We went into central Paris twice a day,
once to see the sights and another time in the evening for dinner. I would recommend this place to
everyone whether you are looking for a bargain or just looking for a comfortable, high quality, and
pleasant place to stay while visiting Paris. Did I mention that the shower was awesome as well. Great
outdoor garden too! This is the best B&B I have ever stayed out.
14. MISSUSKEN - AUSTRALIE
Well, I write this review with mixed feelings.
We were on a European Vacation from Australia,two adults and two boys aged 3 and 4.
First, the location in a lovely suburb of Paris is the best. 10 minutes from Paris on the train
We found a great Bar/Restaurant 2 minutes from La Guriniere near the Town Square(Les Sports),
fantastic,genuine people.
The room we had was lovely,with a loft bedroom for the boys. All very nice ,clean and cosy.
Breakfast was delicious with bread, croissants, jams, coffee, hot chocolate etc.
But!!
I had arranged some months earlier that we would arrive prior to normal check in time, leave our bags,
go out for a few hours and return after 3:00pm for official check in.
And we did, returning after 3:00pm to find Madam in a confused state.
Beds still unmade, turmoil everywhere, more guests to arrive and on it went.
It only got worse, when for the next two nights we lay in our bed listening to Madam going on about us
and our enfants to two guests from the UK, even a subtle turn of our door handle did not stop the tales.
Oh well, mais bon, we shall not darken those doors again with pesky kids!!

15. AYZ75 - CANADA
Let me start off by saying that the B&B is good, and there‘s nothing wrong with it. But it‘s just not for
everyone.
The owner (lady) was friendly and talkative, but that was a small problem for us because we wanted to
go out early to do some sightseeings. My husband speaks French so once the lady started chatting with
him, it was hard to end the conversation. It‘s not her fault, but just not what I was looking for when I
want to go out early and beat the tourist crowd.
The room was nice, I wouldn‘t say it was spotless clean but it was clean. Breakfast was fine, the
croissant was very good (just remember it‘s all bread for breakfast)
We had another small problem - the only way to get ahold of the owner was in the morning when she‘s
around to prepare breakfast, she didn‘t really tell us how to find her when we need to (so one day I just
left her a note downstairs hoping she‘d see it).
Overall it was a good stay, but I don‘t think we would stay here again and I wouldn‘t recommend it to
everyone either, unless you‘re looking for a very relaxing vacation and staying more than just a few
days.
C - THE BLUE ROOM (PARIS 75)
http://www.tripadvisor.fr/ShowUserReviews-g187147-d754690-r14963524-The_Blue_RoomParis_Ile_de_France.html
16. LILABLUE – ITALIE
I love Paris and I have the chance to go there once or twice a year for a long week-end. Before each
trip, I spend time on Trip advisor looking for new places to visit and I am so sad to have read the
previous comments about Brigitte‘s B&B. I stayed there and I can assure anybody that the view from
the window is beautiful, the building is stupendous, the entrance also. The room is simply decorated
but the place is magic and believe me for about 90 € with breakfast, it is good value. The Seine River
and Notre Dame are at the end of the street. I am going back to Paris next month and have decided to
discover other areas, this is why I am going to Montmartre this time but believe if you have the chance
to stay at Brigitte‘s place, you will not regret it.
17. ROWBEAR – USA
We recently stayed at The Blue Room September 13th to the 17th, 2007
To begin with, the view in her ads will never be seen by guests as this was shot via the daughter‘s
bedroom window and not open to guests. So views of the Notre Dame are five blocks away … ―at the
end of the street.‖
―A simple breakfast is served‖….How true. This is really do-it-yourself in every sense of the word.
Madam sets the ―breakfast‖ out the night before as she isn‘t a very early riser (if at all some mornings)
and the baguette we had Friday, turned out to be the same one we had on Saturday and Sunday. The
―butter‖ was actually margarine and sat out all the time until we put it in the Frigo. Two jams of a nondescript nature. We also had to make our own coffee or tea. Thank heavens that there were enough
early restaurants where we could supplement these Scrooge offerings. By Monday, we didn‘t wait to see
how hard the baguette had become, as we had a TGV to catch.
Stairs? She stated that a lift was being installed and this was May at the booking, so it would be ready in
September. Wrong!!! She claimed the apartment was on the 2nd floor when it was 3 more after the

entry way below. Talk about 43 steps and built in the 18th century. There were no plans for an elevator
and no ―craftsmen working in the building.‖
Helpful? This was our 8th visit to Paris and she has a bunch of wrinkled brochures that could use a bit
of updating since WWII. Call for a cab? Don‘t be ridiculous as there is a cab stand only two blocks
away. She was most helpful when it came to advising us that she also has a gite to rent in the Provence
and it would be available. If it is in any condition like the Blue Room, we will be the last to book
reservations.
D - CHATELET DE CAMPO (CAMPO – 20)

18. MORELLOSYRACUSE - ITALIE
My husband and I just returned from a short stay in Corsica. The Chatelet was by far our favorite spot.
We found exactly what we were looking for ... a relaxing spot in the mountains with a luxury feel. The
room we stayed in had a great terrace overlooking the beautiful mountains, pool and well sculpted
garden area. The bedroom had a small fireplace and very comfortable bed with super soft linens. The
bathroom had the nicest bathtub that you can really sink into. There are very large shuttered windows
to allow for the wonderful breezes and fresh mountain air to welcome you. The views from this
mountain top hideaway are truly breath taking. You will find the special hand touches throughout this
property to make you feel like you are personally pampered to. Elisabeth, the hostess, makes you feel
instantly at home and is extremely helpful to guide you to restaurants or other points of interest.
This is a place that we would definitely return only for a longer stay >>
we didn‘t want to leave !
19. 9JERRY9 - BELGIQUE
Chatelet de Campo is a wonderful place to stay at 30/40 min car drive from ajaccio. The familly Herzet
(2 adults, their 3 kids & 1 dog) welcomes you with real kindness and efficiency. The house in itself is a 3
floor old Corsican house beautifully renovated by the owners 3 years ago.
The rooms are spacious and elegantly decorated. All have their bathrooms (1 has its private bathroom
and toilets on the floor). There are 3 double rooms. There‘s also a flat to rent weekly in summer for 2
adults & 2 children. There‘s a suite/loggias with an additional small living room and a terrace facing the
garden.
In summer there‘s acces to a small swimming pool (2 m × 6 m) to refresh. It‘s strictly forbidden to
smoke inside the house. No pet allowed. For 6 nights in off-peak season, we had a price of 700 € for
the Suite & Loggia. Other rooms have a lower price.
There‘s a parking space below the house. The continental breakfast is served in a very large and friendly
dining room and is very abundant with a majority of self made products (bread, jam, brioche, …)
Some evenings in the week, the owners hold a table d‘hôte i.e. a dinner (30 EUR/pers. drinks incl) and
then you easily feel at home chatting with some old friends. The dinner is also basically made up with
the local products or with those of the garden.
It‘s a place where you feel cosy and at home. The owers can inform you about things to do in Corsica
and are pleased to do so. They are really helpful and nice and also flexible. They can also advise on
some local retaurants & products to buy.

This place is really a gem as you have all the advantages of a B&B and the comfort of a hotel. The
owners are really lovely with their guests and always ready to help. The surroundings are extremely calm

Try this Chatelet and you won‘t be disappointed: we really had a great experience of Corsica there!

22. SQUIDLIN – CANADA
This is perhaps the best bed and breakfast that I have ever stayed in. The hosts Geneveive and Phillipe
are among the most gracious hosts and their apartment is like a million dollar condo. It is strange to
imagine that a bed and breakfast would feel like your living in a brand new renovated apartment, but
that‘s exactly the atmosphere you get. The rooms are immaculate and huge, with windows over looking
much of the architecture in the surrounding neighbourhood. I would highly recommend these
accommodations.
23. MMES – USA
We absolutely loved this B&B. Everyone in the group agreed that it was the best place we stayed in
Europe. The rooms are clean and spacious and the owners were wonderfully accomodating. It was
refreshing to find a place that actually matched the description given on the Internet. We will definitely
stay here whenever we are in Nice.
24. 23SINGLEFEMALE
THIS PLACE IS A STEAL. I stayed there 3 days this past weekend for only € 75, which I actually won
back at the Casino Ruhl. The location is great, right in between the train station and the coast. The
rooms are clean. The B&B was empty the last night I was there so I was able to see every room.

There‘s about 6 or 7 rooms and 3 bathrooms and a kitchen and a dining room. There are 3 single
rooms, 1 quad room, 1 double room with ensuite bathroom, and a double room with a little room
attached with a single bed. Three of the rooms have TVs (only French channels) and DVD players
which are stocked with DVDs (mostly French but some English). The best part is that Genevieve saves
all the maps and guidebooks left behind by previous travelers and the previous travelers have marked
and circled places to go. So it gives you a great basis for sightseeing. Breakfast was whatevers. It‘s just
bread, jam and coffee and orange juice. Genevieve comes every morning to clean and prepare
breakfast, but she nor her husband actually stay overnight at the property. I met a fellow single traveler
at the B&B and we went bar hopping together which was great since I was traveling alone. I was
choosing between a 4-star hotel and this place, and I‘m really glad chose Nice Home Sweet Home and
will be back if I ever come back to Nice.
25. VIVANANCE – USA
Genevieve, who owns & operates this B&B is very welcoming and helpful. One of the main reasons I
chose to stay here was because she offers a single-occupancy room rate, and it was an excellent price
for the quality and comfort of the accommodations. My room was very spacious, clean and pretty. The
neighborhood is a quick walk to the train station, ideal if you are taking day trips. Also, the airport bus
can drop you off or pick you up near the train station. Some might feel uncomfortable with sharing the
bathroom with the other guests but it really wasn‘t any trouble for me. (you always have the room to
yourself while you are using it.) There are bigger rooms of course, for couples or friends sharing. I also
met other interesting travelers who were staying here. Because of Nice Sweet Home I had a very
comfortable and happy stay in Nice.

26. MOUNTAINMANN - USA
We spent 3 nights here in late September and found it to be a nice hide away --- maybe a little more of
a hide-away than we had hoped for. It was a little difficult to find via our rental car from the Nice
airport but with a little backtraking here and there we made our way up 23 hairpin turns to an idyllic
setting high in the hills. Sydney was a wonderful host and provided one of the best breakfasts on our
trip. After getting used to the roads and how to navigate we were able to get to Monaco and most other
sights with little difficulty. One downside with the location was poor access to restaurants as most were
a good 25-30 minutes away. We settled for some closer ones but found the food generally unappealing.
The room was nice although the nouveau architecture which included multiple levels and no railing
required great skill to prevent tripping or slipping. All in all it‘s a nice place to chill out for a few days
and use as a base to visit the hill communities.

This is a beautiful small and quite hotel. It is 20 minutes from Nice in a very quite place. The house is

My partner and I spent three wonderful days at Villa Kilauea in May! Upon our arrival, we were warmly
welcomed by the proprietors, Nathalie and Gerard. Their home is absolutely beautiful, situated high in
the hills, with an absolutely breathtaking, panoramic view of the mountains from their back yard. Their
home also boasts a beautiful, tranquil pool that appears to just spill out onto the mountain. The rooms
are large, very nicely decorated with much thought put into the theme and design of each room. The
bathroom was immaculate and large as well. Breakfast each morning was served in a separate room
adjacent to the pool, with a fully furnished kitchen. Breakfast was delicious consisting of fresh
croissants, fresh breads, home made preserves, cheeses, home baked apples, home baked quiches and
peach tarts!!! Needles to say, we did not go hungry! Nathalie and Gerard went out of their way to make
our stay a very memorable one! We will certainly pass the good word of this outstanding B&B. Many
thanks for all your help and hospitality, Nathalie and Gerard! ps....Nathalie, please send a big hug to
your Mom for us!!!
Many thanks!

Nous avons passé 5 nuits à La Pradasse et nous sommes tout à fait enchantés par ce séjour. L‘endroit
est totalement calme, il n‘y a aucun bruit, c‘est idéal pour se reposer. Les chambres sont belles et
joliment décorées. Le linge est de qualité, le lit très confortable, les petits déjeuners continentaux
excellents, avec une petite touche différente chaque jour. Les propriétaires sont très accueillants. Le
jardin est grand et calme, avec de nombreux fauteuils et chaises longues, ce qui fait que l‘on n‘a pas le
sentiment d‘être les uns sur les autres. Bref, une excellente adresse et un superbe rapport qualité prix.
Nous recommandons à 100 %.
31. JGARNER53 – USA
This place is incredibly charming. Its pictures don‘t really do it justice. It‘s out in the countryside
outside Toulouse (about a 20-25 minute drive to downtown).

The owners have converted the old barn section of the house to a beautiful guest house; the husband
of the couple is a wrought iron artist and did all the iron work himself (which is extensive). The mix of
modern and antique is quite charming, and the rooms are decorated very tastefully (and are larger than
you‘d think, looking at their website).
We stayed only one night in this haven, but wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy the grassy
lawn and pool (even if just for lounging). The common room boasts an enormous fireplace that would
be cozy on a cool evening, and the owner had a cheery fire going in the morning when we got up.
My only complaint about the hotel is that our bed was located in a narrow nook in the room. There
was a small TV mounted about 5 feet up on the wall that we had to skirt around to get to that side of
the bed, and is located such that if you are not careful getting out of bed, you will hit your head.
Other than that, it felt utterly luxurious and pampering.

We enjoyed the Chateau being in the French Countryside. A great place to stay if you have a car with
easy access and ample parking not far from Toulouse. The room and bath was over sized and very
clean. Marie was very helpful and kind and had a lovely breakfast. We stayed four days and were happy
with the whole experience. We were happy we stayed there.

Having stayed at The Blue Sturgeon before (soon after it opened a few years ago) I was intrigued if all
was ‗in order‘ on a second flying visit last month. I‘m pleased to report Rob and Eileen are still doing
things right. The evening meal (now featuring caviar if you want it - what else should one expect from
the original - ‗village of caviar‘?!) was good value and very enjoyable. It certainly gives the local
restaurants a ‗run for their money‘ AND there‘s no ‗who‘s going to drive issues!‘ R and E are very
welcoming, the rooms are of a good standard and very clean - a great relaxing place which was even
better the second time around. I for one will keep visiting and heartily recommend that other ‗Trip
Advisors‘ do too!
35. ATLANTADOLL - USA
My husband and I and another couple recently spent two nights here midway through a fast-paced two

what we needed at that point in our trip! The location is a little farther from the Medoc region than I
had thought, but I really hadn‘t done my "geography homework" carefully before the trip. The owners

36. MARGOTINA75 - SUISSE
We stayed in Bordeaux for two days on our way to the coast and had the chance to discover this new
B&B (they opened in February this year) situated in the old wine merchant quarter of Bordeaux. The
room was very nicely decorated and the bed was very comfy. The owners are very knowledgeable on
what to do and where to go in Bordeaux and were very welcoming. For those interested in eco-building
the house has been renovated in an eco-friendly way and if you are interested in building or renovating
your own house or flat they will be happy to share their experience with you.
Last but not least Bordeaux is a fantastic city with loads of things to see and do and very good for
shopping too.
All in all a very nice B&B that we can recommend without reserve.
37. PAVANE – USA
In a narrow street in an industrial/loft area is a brilliant renovation done with taste and love. In fact,
they are in the process of adding additional rooms. Rooms are small, but well furnished with terrific
beds and linens, high-tech baths, luscious towels, and many useful details. Ecology and organic ideas
predominate with the breakfast made of the finest ingredients including homemade jams and splendid
fresh breads and yogurts. We were a couple and adult son and so we could close off our two rooms and
two baths and have the connecting all as well. Good internet wi-fi in most locations. Because it was
unusually hot and the rooms have no air conditioning, we had to leave the windows open. One room
only opened on inside atrium (which opens to the sky part of the time) but air did not circulate well at
night. The room that opened to the street brought reverberating street sounds and mosquitoes. Special
electric mosquito repellent worked, as did the Cutter‘s I carried.
Lovely hosts who were helpful and spoke perfect English and went the extra mile. Close to antiques,
the river, the tram and terrific restaurants, plus indoor safe parking.

Now, the bad:
corpus.docx
12/26
 Y. CINOTTI
-
rooms are vertically half-size, meaning that it may be impossible to stand fully upright in the
room; it‘s like something out of a movie.
-
there are no beds, only mattresses on the floor
-
we were on the highest floor and had to climb up a ladder through a hole to get to our floor
(this is hard to explain with words, but I do not have a picture)
-
we had to go through someone else‘s room to get to our room
-
the owner is a racist pig (made derogatory comments about certain nationalities) and is
extremely rude - he yelled to take a short shower only seconds after turning on the water, and a
minute later, threatened to turn off the water.
-
FYI - there is NO HOT WATER in the shower; only cold water!! So, there is no way one can
take a shower longer a couple of minutes because the water is so cold. There is no excuse for
his rudeness.
-
there are no locks on the room doors
-
it is a bit out of the way and we had to take the metro and a bus to get there. Getting to the old
port can take anywhere from 15 min to 45 minutes.
We got out of there as soon as we could the next morning. We did not feel safe there.
I would not recommend this hostel to anyone.
39. MANIACMICH - CANADA
This place was pretty good - tucked away from the main street. There is no sign outside pointing the
traveller to this place, so be sure to keep an eye on house numbers. The front door is always open and
the first floor is bright yellow and blue, so you can‘t miss it. Just walk up the narrow stairway to the
living room and ask for "Jean".
I would stay here again, however we originally booked a studio on the 3rd floor with a terrace and
kitchen. Because a family of 4 had checked in before us, we actually got the smaller 2 person studio in
the garage on the 1st floor (named the "Port Miou") - where ventilation was poor (one very small
window), and the bathroom a little mouldy. We made do for 2 nights, but if you have asthma I would
recommend specifically asking for a studio other than the "Port Miou" when you make your
reservation. I also recommend bringing some cheap flip flops or sandals to wear in the shower. The
lighting is very dim, and the water pressure low. Laundry is 5 euros, but they would rather that you linedry your clothes on the roof instead of using the dryer.
Also, keep in mind that this is really a hostel for backpackers, and as such, it is fairly noisy until 10pm.
The host will also take you to "les calanques", give you a map and point you in the direction of a couple
of secluded beaches. Wear hiking boots even if you plan on swimming - the hike back to civilization is
all uphill, rocky and quite challenging!

Merci à tous les deux, pour leur accueil si chaleureux et pour leurs si bons conseils dans tous les

41. PROTONVEHICROSS - USA
My friend and I stayed at BnB Les Amis in November 2007 for 2 nights for approximately 85€ plus
10€ per night for parking in the garage. Note that the owners actually have two locations for guests to
stay. The main location is in their multi-bedroom large condominium; the other location is a small
studio condominium that‘s within the same apartment complex. We stayed in the studio because they
were doing some remodeling in their house. The studio is good if you prefer total privacy, however, it
is not as upscale as the main guest house.
The owners were extremely friendly and showed us to a restaurant as well as provided a gay map of the
city with points of interests and suggestions for things to do at night. They hosted us for drinks and
snacks at their large condominium one evening, which is gorgeous and comfortable with a huge patio
and panoramic views of the city and wonderful art all around. A stay at that location would be very
comfortable.
The location is centralized and within a 20 minute walk from all the major bars, clubs, and gay
attractions in Marseille. It is also within a 20-25 minute walk of the old city and the port. Note that to
get to the clubs, you have to walk several blocks through a very dirty and potentially unsafe part of
town. We walked through this area quickly, usually late at night, and encountered no problems. But
nonetheless, I would advise looking like you know where you‘re going and moving briskly to avoid
attracting unwanted attention. Most clubs and bars don‘t open, much less get busy, until midnight, so
you‘ll be traversing through this "danger zone" if you plan to venture out on foot.
Street parking around the BnB is practically impossible to find, as is the case in most French cities. The
owners rented us a tiny parking space that belongs to their neighbor, in the condominium garage.
However, this may or may not be available depending on whether the neighbor is home; it will also
only fit very tiny cars so do not plan to park in it if you have a large U.S.-sized sedan.
a aimé — The owners were very friendly and went out of their way to offer us suggestions and make
us feel welcome.

My wife and I are in mid fifties and enjoy walking, mostly in the lake district and Yorkshire dales. We
wanted something that would be a bit more of a challenge. We have not been on a group walking
holiday before so we were slightly apprehensive at taking the plunge.
We didn‘t need to be we quickly found out. The walking was a challenge, up high in the pyrenees, but
what a fantastic week we had and had a real sense of achievement from the holiday.
Rob and Emma were not only excellent guides, but also very good cooks and good company. The
food was good quality local produce and very reasonable wine in quality and quantity!
The accommodation was clean ,tidy and comfortable in a lovely restored barn type property in the
delightful village of Bareges.
All in all, I would thoroughly recommend this as a base for a walking holiday
43. NURSEMAGGIESUFFOLK – GB
Four of us decided to try a ‗Gentle Walking Holiday‘ as we are all in our mid to late fifties.
We had a fabulous time, Rob and Emma looked after us brilliantly at the same time as challenging us
and giving us a real sense of achievement!
The food was wonderful and plentiful, we worked up enormous appetites through all the exercise, but
didn‘t put on any weight - a bonus!
The accomodation was splendid, and the beds were the most comfortable we have experienced away
from home.
This was a holiday we will never forget, it was just excellent.

Very elegant home combining designer with traditional in what looks like a very affluent street in the
suburbs of Strasbourg. 1 minute to the cheap and frequent tram that for £1 or so takes you straight
into the heart of the city.
Great alternative to sometimes expensive city centre soulless hotels which I would doubt offer the
same room size, stylish, laid-back surroundings and welcome of this B&B.
Genuinely surprised by quality of accommodation and the finest petit dejeuner (breakfast I think) this
side of Australia with homemade jams ‗made by mum‘ and croissants big enough to live on for weeks.
Friendly but not at all intrusive hosts made us feel welcome and helped out with the usual what and
where questions when arriving in a new city.
Try this B&B and you‘ll look at the usual 4* chain hotels a bit differently for ever more.

From the minute we pulled up in front of La Belle Strasbourgoeise, we fell in love with it. Francoise
and Christophe were excellent hosts who both greeted as warmly at the door even though we showed
up earlier than expected. They helped us with planning our day to the villages along the Wine Route
and even lent us a guide book to take with us. We stayed in the Pistachio-Macaroon room which was
very spacious and most importantly, equipped with an extremely comfortable bed with hard and soft
pillows to choose from based on you personal preference. A guidebook in the room also added a
personal touch with welcoming words, recommendations of restaurants in the area and tips for
enjoying your stay in Strasbourg. The bathroom was huge, well lit and clean. In addition to a modern
hair dryer, more than enough towels, a Vichy-like shower, it also came with a towel heater to heat up
your towel for that warm fluffy feel as you step out of the shower. Breakfast the next morning was
amazing. Fresh croissants and baguettes that were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside...
accompanied with homemade jam courtesy of Francoise‘s mom... we were in heaven! We ate so much
we unfortunately couldn‘t try any of the yogurt that was also offered to us.
Even though we didn‘t spend a lot of time in the B&B itself, it provided us with a welcoming place to
crash after spending a day exploring the charming wine villages of Alsace and a good night‘s sleep to reenergize us for the next day which we spent visiting the picturesque city of Strasbourg.
46. POUSSEMOUSSU – USA
I was the first one to write a review about La Belle Strasbourgeoise.
I had a memorable stay there and wrote a terrific review about that place.
Recently I checked TripAdvisor to see what other travelers had to say about that B&B and I was
shocked when I read that people arrived at the B&B and no one was there. And it was not the first
time.
It actually happened to me but at the time, I didn‘t know it was a habit of Françoise to be away when
people check-in. I remember I had sent her an email telling her at what time I would be checking-in
and when she finally showed up (45 minutes waiting outside), she told me that she hadn‘t received my
email. The room was so nice and the breakfast so good, I didn‘t want to mention that bad start.
Now that I read so many reviews stipulating the same problem, I have to admit that this is not the way
to run a Bed & Breakfast. You cannot let people outside when you run such a business.
Just for that reason, I now don‘t recommend anybody to stay there. Besides I don‘t want to feel like an
idiot again!

L‘endroit est magnifique, notamment la maison, très fleurie et très bien agencée.


Entrée dans la chambre, très spacieuse et propre, ouverte sur une terrasse privée, qui donne

Nous avons eu la chance de faire connaissance de nos hôtes et avons été invité à un apéritif fort
agréable.
Nous avons donc particulièrement apprécié : l‘accueil, le confort de la chambre, la piscine privé, la
proximité de la mer.

We stayed at La Potiniere for a week in the end of August - the beginning of September. We came a
little late but were wonderful welcomed by Sandra. She and her husband Benjamin are very friendly,
speak perfect English, really professionals in the hotel business and gave a lot of helpful information
and recommendations for organizing our vacation.
Breakfast, consisted of fresh French croissants, baguette, butter, different kinds of jam, honey, jus,
coffee and always different fruits and yogurts, was served on the beautiful terrace with a view of the
swimming pool. The pool was very clean as well as the rooms, which are decorated in a typical
Mediterranean way. The beach is not far away, like 5-10 min walking distance and there are different
shopping and dining possibilities around.
If you want to visit the city center of St. Raphael and all the tourist shops and restaurants there, you will
need a car or another way of transportation. For a walk to the centre one will need more than 40 min.
We definitely recommend this B&B to everyone who wants to spend a calm and romantic vacation in
Cote d‘Azur.

We went with my husband for a running competition and we stayed here for 3 days. We had a room
facing the Mount Blanc. The owners were really nice and welcoming and the food couldn‘t be better
because it was the best. The place is located not in center town but just a few kilometers, we had a car
but still we went walking to the town. It was a relaxing holidays with great food and good ambiance.

For our first ski holiday in Chamonix, we checked around with a few colleagues to see if anyone had
skied there. One of them suggested we take a look at Chalet Wildfire, where he‘d stayed a couple of
seasons ago. We normally stay in hotels, but wanted a change and this sounded like something we
should try. We arrived quite late in the evening, and even though we‘d missed dinner, a light supper was
made for us. After our first dinner with the other guests – food was very good, we spend a couple of
hours getting know the rest of the guests and glad to say any apprehension about being in a mixed
chalet soon went away. It was great. The hosts provided good service, including taking us to the slopes.
Rooms were much larger than we expected from other chums‘ descriptions of a ‗chalet‘. Our room was

one of the ones with a balcony and I don‘t think we have ever woken up to such views! A glass of
mulled wine in front of the log fire made for a cosy start to the evening. I am pretty certain that we are
going to have another visit to Chamonix and would choose Wildfire for our accommodation again.
67. MMONTYCALIFORNIA - USA
Well, after some thought, we have decided to go back to Chalet Wildfire. We were there a couple of
summers ago and it suited us fine. We preferred not to be in the centre of Chamonix, as it can be a bit
too lively at times. The location is really beautiful and quite tranquil. Just standing on the balcony and
watching Mont Blanc turn pink as the sun set, will always be memorable.
Rooms are very comfortable, with private bathroom. We booked bed and breakfast, but discussing
dinners with other guests, we were persuaded to try them. Glad we did, good variety, well presented. I
suppose being in the Haute Savoie, we might have liked to see a bit more of the local cheese. We are
fortunate that we will be in Europe on business in January, so for our skiing trip we are looking
forward to going back to try the Catered‘Chalet option - sounds interesting.
Y - LA MAISON D’HOSSEGOR
68. MARIE - FRANCE
Le propriétaire sait accueillir ses hôtes chaleureusement tout en restant discrète et efficace. Elle fait
preuve d‘un goût exquis et d‘ingéniosité pour créer un décor différent chaque matin, autour d‘un petit
déjeuner copieux et délicatement savoureux.
Sa maison est située dans un quartier très calme et entourée d‘un jardin plein de charme. Que du
bonheur !
Z - DOMAINE DE L’ABÉALE
69. FRANÇOISE - FRANCE
Il n‘est pas d‘usage de séjourner longtemps dans une chambre d‘hôtes et pourtant nous avons osé
passer 3 semaines dans une des chambres du domaine de l‘Abéale.
Nous voulions du repos, être près de la nature et découvrir les environs.
Nous avons été ravis.
La maison est très belle et chaleureuse.
Les propriétaires, toujours à notre écoute ont été charmants.
La maîtresse de maison s‘est mise en quatre pour réussir à nous proposer chaque soir un menu
différent.
Ces soirées furent l‘occasion de rencontrer les hôtes de passage de diverses nationalités et diverses
régions de France.
Nous avons, grâce à ces rencontres, passé d‘agréables moments bien animés. De plus le maître de
maison nous a fait découvrir sa passion pour la magie. Et la magie a vraiment opéré. Notre fils de 6 ans
a été émerveillé.
Ces vacances nous ont apporté de très bons souvenirs.
Nous retournerons certainement à l‘Abéale quand nous passerons près de Valence.

Leur accueil nous a conquis. Merci à eux deux d‘avoir contribuer à ce que notre séjour soit reposant et
bien agréable.
Nous ne disons pas "quand on était à l‘Abéale" mais plutôt "quand on était chez Véronique et Félix"
car ils nous ont reçus comme on reçoit des amis.
Une adresse ou revenir pour le plaisir de les revoir.
70. GILLOU – FRANCE
Certaines choses à revoir :
- ménage douteux
- propriétaire qui vient réclamer l‘argent alors qu‘on n‘est pas à la moitié du séjour
- sauna sensé être prêt à 11 h alors qu‘il y a porte close et 2 h d‘attente pour le mettre en route ensuite
- sauna et jaccuzi non inclus dans le prix
- certains endroits dangereux s‘il y a de jeunes enfants
Point positif : cadre reposant
AA - LE CHÂTEAU DE VALLIQUERVILLE
71. 287 - FRANCE
Nous avons passé, mon frère et moi, un court séjourt très sympathique. Le château et son terrain
(faciles d‘accès!) sont somptueux et bien entretenus. De plus, la propriétaire nous indique les détails à
remarquer (blason de Valliquerville sur la grange dimière) et nous explique ce qu‘elle sait de l‘histoire de
sa demeure.
Le repas est très convivial : après un petit kir normand (du vrai!), une grande table réunit tous les hôtes
qui se présentent et discutent ; la propriétaire prend la peine d‘animer la discussion et nous raconte, non
sans humour, la mise en place du système de table d‘hôtes et ses aléas... Le menu n‘est pas compliqué ;
point n‘est besoin de complication pour passer une bonne soirée : tarte aux épinards, chèvre et miel,
escalope normande et pommes dauphines (accompagnées de Saumur Champigny) et tarte normande.
Les portions sont généreuses.
La chambre, sans chichi, est propre et confortable et la salle de bain luxueuse.
Aux personnes hypocrites qui critiquent l‘accueil sur un site internet tout en ayant fait des courbettes à
la propriétaire, je réponds : lorsqu‘on ignore leur passé et leur quotidien, on s‘abstient de dénigrer les
gens. C‘est une question d‘éthique... J‘ai trouvé Mme B. très courageuse, qui a entrepris de faire partager
sa propriété aux promeneurs du week-end, malgré les crasses du maire uni à la voisine et alors qu‘elle
aurait tout à fait pu dormir sur ses rentes. Enfin, j‘ajouterai qu‘il ne faut pas se fier aux apparences : un
abord froid peut cacher une grande richesse intérieure!
Les plus : La force de caractère de la propriétaire. (Il n‘y a pas besoin d‘être mielleux pour avoir du
coeur...)
Les Moins : La voisine qui en fait voir de toutes les couleurs à la propriétaire!

 Y. CINOTTI
Arrivée ; la douche (tiède) : l‘accueil de la propriétaire ne ressemble pas à l‘idée qu‘on s‘en était fait :
plutôt froid... Bon, ce n‘est peut-être que l‘accueil...
Mais le repas confirme bien : la propriétaire ne fait RIEN pour animer la soirée. Elle fait même
comprendre que ça l‘ennuie d‘avoir des contraintes de présence... Chouette! ... Glacial, l‘accueil en
Normandie... Ou alors, on n‘a rien compris??
Plus tard, dans la soirée, nous avons même appris que la propriétaire ne faisait pas de chambre d‘hote
par conviction... Mais pour ‗surfer‘ sur le succès des chambres d‘hotes pour se faire des bénéfices
dessus (propriété rachetée et rénovée uniquement dans ce but très récemment)
Le repas, d‘ailleurs, est très très simple : cuisses de poulet et riz... Mouais... et salade/crudité pour
l‘entrée... Flan + camember pour finir... D‘ailleurs, le camembert est le seul produit de Normandie...
...Espérons que pour notre prochaine chambre d‘hôtes, nous aurons un accueil plus sympa, de gens qui
font de la chambre d‘hôte par envie, et non pas uniquement par intérêt
Les plus : Les batiments ont été rénovés
Les Moins : La propriétaire ne connait pas l‘histoire du chateau, et ne recherche que les bénéfices
73. FRDRICB59 - FRANCE
Accueil froid. En fait, la propriétaire était... partie en vacances en laissant les clés à sa mère qui n‘en
pouvait mais...
Repas ? Une tarte aux épinards décongelée; une tranche de jambon baignant dans une sauce d‘origine
douteuse, quelques pommes de terre sautées se battant en duel et une crème au chocolat lyophilisée.
Le must ? La bouteille de vin certainement achetée 2 ou 3 euros au supermarché du coin et facturée 15
euros.
Les chambres, vieux meubles, même pas restaurés. Déco inexistante.
Des mouches mortes dans la salle de bain et peu ou pas de chauffage dans la salle de bains (il ne
fonctionne pas !).
A éviter de toute urgence !
74. BERNARD – FRANCE
Il faut savoir que des chambres n‘ont pas de salle de bain individuelle ni de toilettes. Les salles de bain
sont ceci dit très bien et toutes neuves. Les repas sont très très simples, quiche lorraine en entrée,
poulet, riz, fromage, dessert inexistant par oubli de la propriétaire, par contre cidre à volonté. La literie
est neuve. L‘accueil manque de chaleur. Très peu de meuble dans les chambres, lit, deux chevets et un
fauteuil.
75. BERTRAND – FRANCE
Notre séjour était bref mais cela ne nous a pas empéché d‘être satisfaits. Nous avons été bien accueillis.
Il y avait un calme appréciable, car nous étions très fatigué et la chambre que nous avions était belle et
confortable. Le seul point négatif, c‘est que les meubles étaient un peu vieux, mais je vois vraiment pas
comment cela aurait pu gâcher les deux jours que nous y avons passé...

BB - LE MAS D’ORSAN
76. PASCAL – FRANCE
Nous avons passé en août deux petites journées dans ce superbe mas. Un véritable havre de paix,
décoré avec goût. Jardin et abords de la piscine (version XL) très bien entretenus. Notre chambre (très
jolie avec lit 160) était spacieuse, un petit balcon donnant sur cour intérieure. Salle de bain en harmonie.
Tout est d‘une propreté irréprochable. Les petits déjeuners sont copieux, les diverses confitures sont
faites maison.
Le propriétaire est un sacré personnage, dont les conseils sont avisés pour faire découvrir sa région.
Dommage, c‘était trop court mais c‘est sûr, Guy, on reviendra !!!
77. LOL – FRANCE
C‘était une surprise pour mon anniversaire et ce fut une merveilleuse surprise car le Mas d‘Orsan est un
lieu idéal pour se déconnecter et profiter avec des amis d‘un site magnifique et serein au milieu d‘une
nature belle et généreuse.Les chambres sont spacieuses, décorées avec goût. Les petits déjeuners et
repas sont gourmands et copieux. Une belle piscine permet de se rafraichir après de belles ballades dans
les environs suggérées par un hôte de très bon conseils. On y a vraiment passé un très bon séjour.
78. MARIANNE – FRANCE
Dans un joli village, ce mas décoré avec beaucoup de goût,de détails et de délicates attentions (cafetière
Nespresso dans la chambre, What‘s else!!) nous a permis de passer un séjour entre amis des plus
agréable.
La piscine est magnifique, le jardin très coloré est très bien entretenu.
Les chambres sont splendides et spacieuses, la literie parfaite.
Le diner était très bon avec un apéritif servi dehors, le petit déjeuner très copieux et varié.
En résumé ,très bonne adresse à conseiller soit en couple ou entre amis.
79. ZELLA - FRANCE
Un endroit magique. très belle propriété. Chambres spacieuses, très propre. Le propriétaire est très
sympathique et aux petits soins pour ses hôtes. Nous a aidé dans le choix de nos visites et des
restaurants. Toujours de très bon conseil. Petit déjeuner copieux. Très bonne table d‘hôte. Avons passé
un super séjour.
80. MIMILOIRE - FRANCE
Le cadre est beau et la chambre sympa.
Mais le propriétaire est plus un homme d‘affaire qui cherche la rentabilité mais qui devrait se limiter au
gite et pas à la chambre d‘hôte : on est chez lui et on le gêne...et il nous le fait savoir : pas salir, pas faire
de bruit, pas déranger....
Une ambiance détestable...et sa femme ne s‘est jamais montrée, alors qu‘elle était là !
Et dans les 2 cours intérieures, on ne peut pas entrer la voiture qui reste à l‘extérieur, au bord de la
route... on risque de déplacer un gravier ?

81. CATHERINE - FRANCE
Nous avons séjourné deux nuits au Grey d’Honfleur. En ce qui concerne l‘accueil et le petit déjeuner
c‘était correct.
La chambre cannelle est décorée avec beaucoup de gout, malheureusement cette chambre doit faire 12
m² au plus, il est donc très difficile de circuler surtout pour la personne qui dort coté fenêtre. La salle de
bain est aussi très petite.
Au Grey d’Honfleur est une maison sur plusieurs niveaux et pour accéder à la chambre il faut emprunter
un escalier étroit en colimaçon. Il en est de même pour le petit déjeuner. Pas très évident, il faut faire
attention ou l‘on met ses pieds.
Cette maison étant ancienne, la chose la plus désagréable c‘est que vous entendez tous les bruits (voisin
du dessus, parquet qui craque à chaque pas,etc.
Endroit à recommander si l‘on aime les maisons anciennes.
Malgré tout cela nous avons passé un bon séjour.
82. PIERRE - FRANCE
Nous avons passé 2 nuits chez Josette Roudaut fin fevrier. Le cadre est absolument délicieux : une
ancienne maison de village au coeur du village (possibilité de se garer gratuitement à 200 M)
entièrement restructurée et meublée avec beaucoup de goût par Josette. Nous avons été reçus avec
beaucoup de gentillesse et d‘attention ; notre hotesse ayant le souci permanent de faciliter la vie de ses
hotes. Certes des géants se plaindraient de la taille de la douche ou de l‘étroitesse de l‘escalier, mais en
ce qui nous concerne nous ne retenons de ce séjour que le confort de la chambre (literie, chaleur,
proporeté) et la qualité de l‘accueil.
83. MELETFAB – FRANCE
Si vous souhaitez passer un séjour à Honfleur, surtout n‘allez pas Au Grey D‘Honfleur!
Certes les photos sont belles et la maison très jolie mais cela s‘arrête là et les prix facturés restent
exorbitants pour la prestation proposée! Quelques arguments: la literie (du moins pour la chambre
canelle) est très usagée et très peu confortable. Les chambres sont très petites et il est difficile d‘y
circuler. Ne parlons pas de la salle de bain qui est vraiment minuscule.
Si vous avez des voisins dans la chambre du dessous préparez-vous à ne pas dormir: le moindre
mouvement de leur part provoque un bruit assourdissant dans votre chambre!
Si vous êtes non fumeur vous risquez également d‘être déçus: la maison est imprégnée d‘une odeur de
cendrier froid...
Concernant l‘accueil: pour notre part il fut inexistant ! La propriétaire nous a annoncé deux heures
avant notre arrivée qu‘elle ne serait pas là pour cause de problème familial. Nous avons appris à notre
arrivée qu‘elle était en réalité en vacances à l‘île Maurice! Si vous recherchez une personne disponible et
attentionnée ce n‘est pas au Grey d‘Honfleur que vous la trouverez. Pour notre part nous avons fui vers
la cour Sainte Catherine qui en plus d‘être beaucoup moins chère a le mérite de proposer une prestation
irréprochable en tout point!
Bilan: Trop cher, une usine à fric pour la propriétaire, pas d‘accueil, le tout dans un cendrier froid :
FUYEZ vous êtes prévenus!!!
