Wow, the hosts really were wonderful. They were very welcoming from the outset and even spent quite a bit of time with me to ensure I was comfortable, speaking slowly and carefully so that my rusty French had some time to acclimate. The view from my room was spectacular. The birdlife around the chateau is outstanding, making it a sublime experience for nature lovers.

This is an amazing place, and the room we stayed in so charming and unique. We ate at The Cottage Bistro and the food was superb. Amazing attention and care from all the staff made us feel very welcome. Would certainly stay again if we are in the area again. Highly recommended.

We stayed two night and as it were, we stayed in two separate rooms. The first room was nice but lacked a coffee marker. The second night we stayed in a privilege room which was slightly larger and had a sofa. The restaurant was closed but the bistro was open. Overall, a pleasant stay but nothing exceptional.

A great hotel and even better restaurant

We have stayed here a few times over the years, but not for some time. We had previously stayed in the original building, but this time in the ‘new’ to us rooms - actually built in about 2000! Whilst the rooms in the main building offer more character, the newer ones are more comfortable, and have air conditioning. For us the main reason to come here is the food. It has always been good but has definitely gone up a level. The service is also exemplary. The house is set in spacious gardens with ample parking. An oasis of calm!

Domaine de Clairefontaine

This is an excellent hotel with friendly, helpful staff. The hotel has a great, Michelin starred restaurant. We have stayed stayed here 4 times on our way down to Provence, and would recommend it highly. This time we tried their Bistro about 800 meters from the hotel but found it disappointing, and next time we stay will dine in their (hotel) restaurant again.

Hotel near Ampuis

Lovely hotel room. Friendly resident swan in a small pond as you approach the building. Manon at front desk was exceptionally nice and extremely helpful in so many ways. Had dinner first night at sister hotel's restaurant, Le Cottage. Very good informal bistrot. Last night dinner was at the Domaine's Michelin 1 star restaurant. Excellent food and the chef/owner was extremely personable. Location a few minutes from the N7 made it a short trip to Ampuis, Condrieu and Vienne. Overall, we were extremely happy with the hotel.
