Plage des Arenas

We had a curt reception. There was no parking or even a luggage drop-off area. The desk clerk told us of a nearby parking garage but couldn’t tell us how to get there, saying to put it in the GPS. The hotel does not have many amenities but is connected to another that does. There is however a small breakfast area. The room was serviceable, but the carpet was stained.

It’s a beautiful historic property , uniquely nested within nature - it’s a dream . I would highly recommend anyone with discerning taste , to stay at Château de Fonscolombes . This establishment is an experience , a destination worth the trip. Unlike a hotel, it offers you the opportunity to enjoy the surroundings. In fact , we had the pleasure of using the Chateau bikes. It was my first time on a bicycle and I really enjoyed my site seeing journey. The property is raw , yet beautiful. I should also mention the exceptional service of the staff . Everyone was so polite , and professional . The room selected did not disappoint , best view for sure . Every detail in the room was appreciated . From the tiny little music box on the night stand to the chef little Madeline treats which we all enjoyed upon entering . However , the nicest thing about the room was its high ceilings and large windows . I was able to open all my windows and enjoy the fresh air from both ends of the bedroom . That said ,if you’re looking for something intimate , to relax get away from everyday stress this is the place for you . I also recommend trying the restaurant , the Chef just received his first Michelin Star and I’m certain he will make this restaurant among the best restaurants in France . Every dish served was not only beautifully plated , you could actually taste the freshness of the vegetables. I’m giving this experience a 5 - STAR . Thank you , and see you next year ! G.D.S
