    Very kind and welcoming host! Nice home perched on the top of a steep hill. Room was comfortable and had a private bathroom. 5 minute walk to town. Great coffee and breakfast in the morning. No dinner but at the bottom of the hill there are several restaurants nearby.

    The room could have been more updated.

    The staff was very accommodating and allowed us to check in early, which was great because we had been walking all day on the GR65 to get there. The breakfast buffet was Really good -- great selection and quality of food.

    For hikers on the via Podiensis, the climb to La Fontaine at the end of the day was the only disappointment we had.

    This was a very pleasant place to stay. We had a spacious room with a little balcony where we had our picnic dinner with a nice view of the castle ruins. The swimming pool provided real refreshment after a long day of walking. Very peaceful neighbourhood.

    Sylvie was lovely. We’re hiking the GR 65, so she picked us up in town, and also brought us back and forth for dinner. She offered use of her washing machine to us. The house and room were comfortable, and price was very reasonable.

    If you could rate a small B&B. 5 Star this would be it. Room and bathroom spotless, cooling fan in room kept the room very comfortable and the views and ground were meant for relaxation. A short walk to town but the host will drive you there and back or you can Uber. The included breakfast is a meal to dream of. Everything fresh from garden and local farm.

    The location is both great and not-so-great. Great because it is set high on the hill, just below the chateau, overlooking the town. Not-so-great because it WOULD be a huge climb up for hikers/pilgrims - BUT, even this is addressed by Sylvie, who generously collected us by car from the centre of town when we arrived and later took us back to the centre (where we had a fabulous meal) and picked us up again after dinner.

    Sylvie was exceptionally welcoming. Our spacious room had a great view down to the town/city and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was generous and delicious - coffee, toast, home made jams, cake and pudding, terrine, saucisse, fresh fruit, yoghurt etc.

    Unfortunately, neither of us was particularly adept at speaking one another's language but all worked out well.

    We stayed at this place while walking the Le Puy Camino. The owner offered to pick us up in town when we reached Espalion but we decided to walk there - a definite mistake. The owner was kind enough to drive us to a restaurant in town and pick us up when we went out to eat for dinner. The hot tub after a long day's walk was fabulous. The washing machine in the room was a wonderful surprise. The room itself was spacious, the hosts incredibly gracious, and the breakfast wonderful.

    everything was superb A gorgeous place with a pool and a hot tub overlooking the mountains with a short walk into the historic little town of Espalion. Local buses are available to take you into the larger centre of Rodez. The facilities were amazing - a beautifully furnished riom with bath and washing machine tv and tea/ coffee and a lovely breakfast each morning. Perfect. Thankyou Chambre d hotes !
