We were rather disappointed with our degustation meal here, as well as our two night stay. We decided on this property because it was a Relais & Chateaux, photos were magnificent and because the reviews were overwhelmingly positive. When we first arrived to the room we were quite impressed. It was huge by any standards and at least 1000 ft.². Unfortunately things went downhill from there.
The bed was extremely uncomfortable. They pushed two twin beds together to make up a king bed, and while that's common in Europe, this mattress was rockhard and the sheets were stiff.
They provided a TV in the room and a DVD player but when I inquired about borrowing a DVD to watch, they said they don't have any. The Wi-Fi in the room was so horrible that it made it impossible to send emails or use the Internet. This is 2015 and wifi should not be an issue, especially at these prices. The electronics in the room were a bit janky too and a broken speaker drove my husband mad when we first arrived.
The service was very nice, especially at dinner. We did the full tasting and really enjoyed sitting on their terrace. Unfortunately the food was rather fussy. Almost each and every course had some sort of foam on it. They should have focused less on the foam and more on the flavors of the food.
The best courses were the soups, oddly enough. Despite the gorgeous setting, I would not come back here, as the food was just disappointing.
