Our stay at La Tourelle for a Thanksgiving family reunion was exceptional. The accommodations were perfect with a suite for everyone, and the catering services enhanced our experience. The hotel’s dining options, particularly the bistro breakfast, were impressive. While the weather didn’t allow us to enjoy outdoor activities, the effort from the family-run team made us feel cherished. However, we didn’t explore the spa amenities due to time constraints.
