A table service breakfast is served in the conservatory overlooking the medieval city walls and a well-stocked bar with beautiful views is open 24/7. The hotel’s brand new spa is reserved for patrons on a completely private basis and an outdoor pool with a Jacuzzi and sun loungers can also be enjoyed in warm weather.

Accommodation

The hotel’s 17 rooms are split into several categories of varying sizes and decor. Grape Escapes guests are accommodated in Classic or Superior rooms in the main building. The Classic rooms are cosy and decorated in warm, welcoming tones and some of the larger Superior rooms have quirky clear windows (with blinds) rather than walls between the bedrooms and their bathrooms for a sense of openness and space. Each room is decorated in a classic French style with modern comforts such as a flat-screen TV, a music system and air-conditioning.
