A superb building, at the bottom of a Pyrenees pass to Spain, in a classic unspoiled village.The hotel and restaurant has been in the same family for years and the family are still everywhere with Father in the kitchen and Grandmother on the reception and the various sons acting as General Manager, chef and waiters respectively. Thus a great deal of care and attention is evident in all areas.
The restaurant is an old baronial style room with plenty of history evident in the discarded items on display. The menus include a Menu Gastronomic which included perfect Foie Gras, duck, local cheese and pud. After dinner there is a vast range of Armagnacs to choose from. All was excellent.
