Rauret Castle Hotels

"Great location. Parking directly across the street. Restaurant onsite (although it closed at 9:00 p.m. before we could use it) and a bar in the garden and inside where we had a most reasonable glass of wine. Good elevator. Room decent sized and large bathroom with shower. Good sized TV (which we didn’t watch). Kind and helpful receptionist. No complaints at all. Price very reasonable."

"Great stay "

"Regina is an excellent location for exploring the old part of Le Puy. The staff were very. helpful and we arranged car parking with them which was very useful. The Hotel restaurant was good and serves excellent food at a reasonable price. "

"Fantastic hotel only point I would raise is the single beds are hard. Lovely taster menu 😁"

"If you want a break from busy cities and crowded streets, this house is perfect. The drive from Valence was two hours with plenty of switchbacks. Ludovic, the house’s co-owner, attentively answered questions and provided directions. (He even explained how to call French phone numbers both inside and outside France!) He doesn’t live close to the house but his father, Michel, does. When we arrived, Michel gave us an introductory tour to the house. We don’t speak much French and Michel isn’t fluent in English, but Google Translate came to the rescue! We also chatted with Ludovic on the phone.Michel is a friendly do-it-yourselfer, and he lent a hand when needed. When these two desert dwellers were cold, he showed us how to control the heated floor tiles. When the boiler went out, Michel quickly reset it.The house is comfortable and the view across to the Velay valley from the dining room is beautiful, especially early in the mornings when the valley fills with fog and clouds. We did a lot of driving around the countryside enjoying the fall leaves as well as grazing cattle, horses, goats, and sheep. We hiked Mount Signon. We took a day trip to Le Puy-en-Velay and climbed hundreds of stone steps up to the ancient cathedral. Two items you would expect to find in a rental are not available in this well-stocked house: a television and a microwave. There is a projector, speaker, and screen, but the sound kept cutting out. Instead we snuggled on the couch with an iPad. "

"Friendly staff. The hotel is in a central and busy area, within walking distance of the train station. Light-blocking curtains and soundproof windows guarantee a good night's sleep."

"Just a continental breakfast but plenty of it. Room quiet and comfortable. Nice bar and dining area. "
