Again last to leave, enjoying the beautiful Muga

We had a lovely dinner. Service was immediate and excellent if maybe a slight impersonal. The food and menu was French in style but lightweight, fresh, creative and very tasty.

I found the wine list slightly pricy, this must be balanced by having dinner, breakfast and upgraded to suite package for around 450€ – all in all good value and wine is expensive in France.

A definitive recommendation for a stop for us “Luxembourgers” on the way to/from the coast (parking facilities are excellent too) and I look forward to our return to see if the Pourcel brothers will keep improving.

• If you have a pool, you must clean it and not making noise when guests are resting, just saying.
• Putting plates on table, to remove them again, to put them back.. it’s like Ties
• Should travel more often, eat more lobster
• Wines from south of France are only less costly outside southern France
• Life is good.. go out, find out..enjoy

We we upgraded on the room, which is always nice living room behind me.

And from our little living room we had a lovely view of the beautiful garden

Always
