What an unexpected pleasure and a pity we couldn't have stayed longer. The proprietors, Kevin and Sophie have created a fabulous and welcoming place to stay in the beautiful little village of Saint-Rome-de-Tarn, in the picturesque Tarn Valley. We arrived quite late in the evening, but were still able to enjoy a great meal of local fare in the hotel restaurant (with the vegetables fresh out of the hotel's own garden). The rooms are fairly basic, but clean and tidy, and our room had a little balcony that looked out into the courtyard. The hotel is in a centuries old building, but has been well converted, and provides a very good ambience. It was nice to stay in something that felt authentic and local, instead of the more 'corporate' feel of many chain hotels. While the hotel is (fairly) rated as 3-star, we enjoyed our stay as much or more than our stays in 4-star plus hotels on our trip.
