Not to be missed

Everything was great. The hosts are charming and very accommodating. The location is very good and quiet with restaurants and great walks nearby. The house and rooms are charming and tastefully decorated and retain that old manor atmosphere. The bathroom was big with a great shower. The room bright and the bed very comfortable. The breakfast is excellent with fresh local produce. The evening meal option is an absolute must as the host is a well known chef and is a master at his skill. The only regret we have is to have missed the evening meal on our first night there.

Cathie and Pierre were delightful hosts, making us feel at home in their magnificent home in such a beautiful setting. We loved sitting in the garden, and even managed the first fresh swim of the season in the pool. Our room was serene and the view gorgeous. Breakfast was great. A dinner prepared by Pierre is definitely worth accepting. We were able to store our bikes safely in the garage. A really special place to stay.

Gorgious and delicious

The house is incredibly beautiful, both inside and outside. The hosts are absolute gems, and despite my late arrival and short noticed, offered a delicious dinner. The breakfast was of the same standard, with home baked items, home made marmelade and honey (and more). Fantastic.

Exceptional hospitality and comfort.

We thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay and were made welcome when we arrived. The room was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. We booked for dinner and could not have been more pleased. The meal was delicious as was the breakfast. It is such a beautiful part of France. We highly recommend this property.

Beautiful spot with a historical feel and superbe hosts and breakfast

Beautiful spot in an old (18th century, I believe) farmhouse adjacent to an old small castle. Rooms in the original style but with modern amenities. Super nice and welcoming hosts and delicious breakfast. Some nice nature to explore nearby. The larger room we had felt like a romantic getaway room.

Beautiful mountain retreat

An exceptionally beautiful chambre d'hôte and a genuinely warm welcome from our hosts. We were also offered a room upgrade. Breakfast was delicious, with home-made almond cake which we enjoyed around the table with very interesting company.

Simply wonderful.

Lovely house in a fantastic quiet location. Cathie & Pierre were exceptional hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were lovely and the meals in the evening were fantastic. Pierre is a wonderful chef and Cathie a great host, a superb team. We stayed six nights with Pierre & Cathie and were using the location as a base for part of our cycling holiday which worked really well. The scenery in the area is beautiful and the village is lovely and quiet. I’ve never given a 10 out of 10 review before but this was it for us as it couldn’t have been any better.

Hospitality was invented here

Hospitality runs through the veins of the lovely couple Basso-Moro. The scenery is so peaceful and the atmosphere of the boutique hotel is unique. The interior is French brocante, all bibs and bobs everywhere in balance, we loved it. Most memorable was the lovely dinner we had prepared by Pierre Basso-Moro. The view, the wine, the food, the people: we loved everything and will definitely come back to escape to this treasure in Nans.

Superb, loved everything about it.

This was a truly fantastic stay! We arrived and were warmly welcomed with a coffee in the chateau garden. The rooms are comfortable and it really shows how much thought and love the owners have put into the property. We were lucky to get dinner in the hotel on relatively short notice and it was wonderful. The surrounding area is tranquil and beautiful with lots of nice walking routes. Definitely can recommend this place to any traveller!
