La Tourelle offers a relaxing retreat with clean rooms and a vivid atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary happy hour and great breakfast, which made my stay quite delightful. However, I found the grounds to be somewhat neglected, and the value for the price I paid felt a bit steep considering some areas could use improvements.

The staff's dedication to ensuring a pleasant stay really stood out, making me feel almost like family.

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.

The food, especially breakfast and dining options, exceeded my expectations, offering a delightful taste of local flavors.
