5/5 Excellent
"Staff were very helpful and friendly, views and food/drink just amazing. Can’t wait to come back. "
"Love this hotel. Friendly front desk staff and super big and comfortable room with all the amenities we needed. It you need to have a car cos it’s about 30min drive to Lyon. "
"We want to start on a positive note by saying that while the couple who ran the place was very nice, this place was a big disappointment: it was run down, outdated and entirely misrepresented by the photos and the 51 reviews which all collectively gave it an 8+ which leads us to believe the reviews were either left circa 1998 or by family/friends or posted pre-Covid. We felt like we were in some run down hippy nature commune. The pool was encircled by a wire mesh fence too so dont let those ‘classy’ pool photos fool you for a minute. And maybe we missed this while assessing the proximity to downtown Lyon but the place was remotely located: in the woods at least a 20 min drive from the city so take that into consideration. So if youre looking for a rustic place in the woods away from civilization (albiet run by genuinely nice people), this might work for you."
"We expected LaChatard to be nice but a fairly basic stopover for our visit to the area however the service, facilities, and restaurant were all fantastic. The restaurant serves a local menu and wine, and the food was beautiful. Service was very friendly and accommodating. The team evidently took pride in their work. Facilities were comprehensive too with a well stocked gym, indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, and sunbathing area. A great place to stay."

"We enjoyed our stay there, it was clean and very big apartment. The only issue we had it was the heat, there is no air conditioning or fan there , although it was 36 degrees that day.
The second issue was the swimming pool, the kids went at its opening time 9am to enjoy it before we start our day, but it was filthy. "
