La Tourelle offers a unique blend with spacious and comfortable rooms, though its grounds need some attention. While the breakfast was a standout, the overall ambiance feels dated, and the price does not seem justified for what you receive.

Our stay at La Tourelle was truly delightful! The hotel had a beautiful outdoor environment that made every moment feel special. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, and we particularly enjoyed the delicious breakfasts at the Bistro. On the downside, we found the Wi-Fi to be a bit slow at times, which can be bothersome when trying to connect with loved ones. Overall, we had an amazing time and can't wait to return!

We had an unforgettable stay at this hotel celebrating our anniversary and my wife's birthday. The room was incredibly clean and beautifully decorated, making it feel like a luxurious retreat. The staff treated us like family, making our experience even more special. The dining options were excellent, particularly the breakfast at the bistro, but it wasn't included in our rate. The only downside was that some amenities were a little pricey, which is something to keep in mind.
