“A lovely hotel in a beautiful ancient village”

The location was stunning. Set in a beautiful village. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast by the riverside looking towards the ancient castle was delightful

“Wonderful for a 70 Birthday celebration”

Very clean lines, comfortable & not too fussy. Quiet

“Formidable!”

Absolutely charming location, extremely clean, very well appointed rooms - loved the wide basin with room for was bags and the heated mirror. Bed was super comfortable, fly screens are essential for me and this hotel has them. We’ve not been here for 6 years and it was a delight to return, an absolutely outstanding stay. The food in the restaurant is totally deserving of their Michelin star, it was THE best meal we’ve had a very long, both in France and the UK. The attention to the courses shone through, every course including the amuse bouche was SO good I could have eaten them all again!

“An absolute gem of a place to stay with some magnificent food.”

“Could not have made a better choice”

We have visited Belcastel previously and promised ourselves an overnight stay at Le Vieux Post - it was worth the wait in every way. Hotel room was excellent with everything we needed and more - air conditioning above all in this season, but also view onto river and castle, every convenience in bathroom and room generally excellent. And of course a magnificent dinner in the restaurant over the bridge. Staff everywhere helpful to the nth degree.

“Fabulous accommodation in one of the "most beautiful villages in France"”

My wife and I stayed at Le Vieux Pont in Belcastel as part of a trip in honor of her 70th birthday that consisted largely of visiting a series of villages officially listed as among "the most beautiful in France". Belcastel certainly deserves to be on that list; it is a breathtaking gem of a restored medieval village in a lovely setting. Le Vieux Pont has both a hotel and restaurant in the village on opposite sides of the (magnificent) old bridge for which they are named; I review them together. The hotel is a modern, cleverly designed, tasteful, and, I would say, "up-scale" place (with, as I recall, only seven or so rooms) in a beautiful old stone building on the river. We found our room to be extremely clean and comfortable: a large-ish room with a very comfortable bed, excellent climate control—which was very important, because we were there in the midst of a horrid heat wave—good internet connection, various thoughtful amenities and a large, luxurious private bathroom with a bathtub (toilet separate in the French manner). The breakfast that was offered was a riot of excellent Continental breakfast items—too much to come anywhere close to finishing; but then we discovered that they feed the copious leftovers to the horses, so nothing is really wasted, which makes one feel smug and self-satisfied. The restaurant has recently acquired a Michelin star. The food is inventive and the presentation impeccable. And of course the service is very professional (a métier at which the French excel). But dinner at Le Vieux Pont is distinctly expensive, and the wine prices (excellent wine list!) are truly astronomical. The hotel price is more than we, of modest means, usually consider paying, but I would rate the hotel high on the value-for-money scale. The restaurant is certainly excellent, but whether it's worth the price is another matter.
