Le Domaine de Villespy

It’s hard to know where to begin reviewing somewhere like this… the superb hosts, the breathtaking grounds, the amazing history, superb furnishings, the fascinating home, it’s all here, and more. The bedroom’s are wonderful, gorgeously decorated and furnished with superb taste, the most amazing bedding (seriously, I need some of those pillows!). And whether it’s breakfast on the balcony, dinner in the amazing dining room, or relaxing by the pool in the afternoon the whole property is a feast for the eyes. It’s wonderful.

Beautifully decorated rooms, we were on the top floor, in a gorgeous house where all details are worth looking at and welcomed by a wonderful lady host ! Breakfasts were delicious and beautifully arranged on tables on the terrace and despite the heat wave outside, the rooms were fresh thanks to a perfect air conditioning in place: discreet, not noisy, not too cold! A must if you plan the visit this gorgeous region! Des chambres magnifiquement décorées, nous étions au dernier étage, dans une maison magnifique où tous les détails valent la peine d'être regardés et accueillis par une hôtesse chaleureuse mais discrète! Les petits déjeuners étaient délicieux et joliment disposés sur les tables de la terrasse et malgré la canicule les chambres étaient de véritables havres de paix et de fraicheur grâce à une climatisation parfaite en place : discrète, pas bruyante et pas trop froide ! Un must si vous envisagez de visiter cette magnifique région !

We booked 3 rooms for 6 of us on a cycling holiday in the area. The Domaine looked lovely on the website and Emily was so helpful in communicating with us before our arrival. We had safe storage for our bikes and enjoyed a lovely cold beer on the terrace after a hot day cycling. The bedrooms are gorgeous, very big and with excellent bathrooms. The beds and pillows are very comfortable and AC if you needed it. We had a leisurely time at the pool in the afternoon, the grounds are very large and peaceful. We met all the members of the friendly family. We had booked the Table d'Hotes and would highly recommend this. Lots of nibbles, plenty of very good local wine, and each course was delicious. Emily is a wonderful cook. We must make a special mention of Doug's Tarte Tatin which was declared the best ever! After a quiet sleep we had a delicious breakfast. Lots of coffee, fruit, yoghurt, bread and pastries. And a divine banana bread. All of us would stay again - whether for a quiet few days, a cycling holiday or to explore the area. Thank you to Emily and all the family for making us feel so welcome and for being such wonderful hosts. We wish you every success and very much plan to be back. Anne & co
