CHAMBRES D'HoTES LES REMPARTS

Castillonnes

This was our third stay here, the two previous ones being pre-2010. Then it was a superb hotel, with restaurant and bar. Now it is a Chambre d'hote and a shadow of its prior glory, but at the same price point. 

On a positive point, the host Danielle was pleasant. 

But...

1. Very dark room, tiny shower room and even smaller toilet.

2. The temperature of the room was extremely high. There was a small heater/fan in the room which proved virtually useless and extremely noisy. On the first morning I noticed an AC unit on the ceiling bedside an outside wall. There was no remote control for this in the room. I had to ask for this even though it should have been in the room all along. 

3. The room was not serviced ever during our week long stay. Never vacuumed or cleaned. The same piece of white thread stayed on the carpet througout. (I know I could have picked it up but it became a challenge to see whether a vacuum was ever run over the floor).

4. Bedding never changed or even the bed made up.

5. Stains on the toilet floor were there on arrival and were never cleaned.

6. The bins in the room and shower room were never emptied and were overflowing by the time we left.

7. Unfortunately, while adding a teabag to my teapot on day 2, the lid slid off the table and smashed on the floor. I apologised profusely for this. For the next 3 breakfasts I was given the same lidless teapot, until on the penultimate morning we had to request one with a lid as the water inside was cooling down quickly.

As I said previously, we had had such memorable times in this establishment previously - this visit put paid to all those memories.

BEWARE - "Excellent" review based on reviews over 7 years ago

Nice surprise, everything was perfect at this stage of the Gr654: splendid home, relaxing garden, spacious bedroom with excellent bedding, delicious breakfast with homemade food.

A beautiful step on our way to St. James

The interior is very nicely decorated, with quality bedding. The breakfast is probably one of the best I've had in a long time (and congratulations on the apple pie). And most of all, thank you to Dominique for her smile and good humor. If you want to stay in the area, do not hesitate!

A wonderful surprise

We stayed in Castillones recently and wanted to try here, but it apparently closed some time ago. La Marechalerie is the best in the town, but about 1km out, down the road opposite the Intermarche is Le Table Paysanne. This is run by a local farmer and his wife and they currently charge 20 euros a head, for a five course meal, with seconds and unlimited wine. Highly recommended

Sadly no longer open

A room of the right size, gentle owners, exemplary cleanliness, everything put together for you to have a good stay, the room is not to my liking, but no matter what, everyone's liking, I highly recommend this establishment.

Good value for money

We had two rooms reserved for the family. The charm of this house quickly took hold, our family was conquered. Superb room very comfortable and very clean, and the reception as if we were in the house.

I recommend it.

We had booked a room at a family party. This former master mason in the centre of the small village managed to keep its family house side, the room was spacious, comfortable and very clean.

It's a lovely master's house.

It is located in a beautiful palace, furnished with great taste. The rooms are large, quiet and well-kept. The guests were kind and caring and the breakfast was exceptional. I recommend it to everyone!

A nice stay.

We visited this restaurant for lunch on Valentines day. The restaurant had a Valentines day lunch menu at 49 euros per head, so we opted for a la carte menu.
The service was very good and the little added extras ( a volute and a soup),were a nice bonus. We enjoyed Coquille St Jacques and fois gras entrees followed by Confit of Duck and steak. All very nice and if any criticism at all, it would have been my steak, which because the dish was small, could have been a nicer piece of steak! 

We were fairly full, so dispensed with desserts but finished with coffee. The restaurant was fairly busy but our service was very good and the meal enjoyable. We had a couple of pitchers of red wine ( quite nice house red) and the total bill came to 83 euros, which we felt was a little expensive but overall good quality and it was valentines day, so we guess the prices were inflated for that day ( as indeed everywhere else would have been!).

 We will definitely return again for another lunch (to try the plat du jour lunch and also try dinner there). We think Les ramparts would be good fun in the summer too, al fresco dining.

Recommended!

An impromptu lunch

This has always been a place to take our holiday visitors to, to experience reasonably priced good french food. However, a trip there last week was very disappointing. The menu has been slashed to just 3 or 4 choices - with just the ONE fish dish and they were not very inspiring either. My cep and butternut squash soup was average and the beef I ordered came well done instead of a-point (sorry, no accents). The herb/spice crust was very overpowering. My 3 chocolate dessert seemed to lack 2 of the chocolates and tasted quite synthetic. Sorry, Des Remparts, but I shall have to find another restaurant to show off the culinary delights of our region.
