We stayed two nights in early May at this B&B. We received a warm welcome and helpful advice. The room was very comfortable, very spacious and clean. The B&B is very close to the train station and a short walk to Villefranche. The atmosphere is very relaxed, inclusive without being intrusive and Robert, Linda and family (and Igor) are very...

We spent one spectacular night with Robert and Linda and if we had known what wonderful hosts they would be, we would have stayed longer. This B&B is a little off the beaten path, but well worth the small effort to get there. Everything was first class and Robert and Linda went out of their way to make us feel...

Thank you very much for your review. We told Ygor you said hello to him and he was wiggling his tail so we think he understood. We think breakfast is the most important meal of the day and do our best to find the best food to serve our guests. We liked it very much sharing some of our knowledge...

Outstanding hospitality from the couple that own this place - from the moment we arrived we were spoiled. Felt like we were staying with family. Great rooms with plenty of character and fantastic pool to spend hours lounging by.

Room for up to 18 people in large old but well-maintained house and neighboring structure on the Tet river a short walk from town.

We spent two days at this nice B&B at the end of October 2011. It made a great stop on our trip to Spain, and we really hope to be back for more! The B&B is clean and comfortable, Linda and Robert (and Ygor) are great hosts and there is plenty to do nearby. The village is beautiful, but a...

How nice to write a review and thank you very much. We are happy you had a great stay with us and remember how much you enjoyed the village and the fort. As you say it is great to make this stop into an etappe on your way to Spain. Linda has practiced the Salsa dance so if you're around...

We stayed three nights here and wish we had planned a longer stay. This B&B is immaculately clean and outstandingly comfortable. Robert and Linda are superb hosts, and immediately create a feeling that you are visiting with old friends. They are enormously helpful in planning activities in the area, which are far more plentiful than guidebooks suggest. The grounds and...

Thank you for your review. We try to be as informative as possible to our guests so they are able to explore the region to the max. We know that travel guides are not indicating all possibilities of this region. Therefor we suggest the other possibilities close to the house or just a little bit further away. I think we...

We spend a long weekend at l'Ombre du Fort with Linda, Rob, their kids and the rest of their 'live stock'. Our goal was to experience the wines of the area. Rob arranged some visits to wineyards, selected a lot of wines and was very knowledgeable on the topic in general. The hotel is situated nicely between the hills, next...

What a wonderful time, nice wines, good company, happy faces, laughs, relaxation, nice food and more wine :-). It was fun showing you around a few wineries, the beautiful region and good places to eat. Because of common interest there was always something to talk about or discuss. We enjoyed your presentations of the local wines while tasting and exploring...

We have just returned home from a 10 day holiday at A l'Ombre du Fort. Robert and Linda were brilliant hosts and we cannot thank them enough. Our bedroom was clean and comfortable and the breakfasts were excellent. We particularly enjoyed the chat and drinks with Robert and Linda and the other guests in the garden, during the early evening....

Trains trains trains..... and a lot of walking. We are glad you visited our B&B and we were able to make your holiday a fantastic one. It felt almost like family that was visiting us. I am going t try to find the old railway in Spain (we discussed) so you can make a roundtrip with the Yellow Train from...

This B&B compares very favourably with hotels that charge twice as much and provide half of the service. It is, in all respects, excellent.
The attitude of the charming Dutch couple who own and run this place is key to its success. They are warm, welcoming and very helpful. The rooms are large, clean, efficient and well equiped. The bonus...

Thank you for your comment. We have precious memories about your stay with us. From the first moment we met it felt like meeting "old" friends. We had nice conversations about the region and your visits to the various places of interest. We know Ygor always tries to do his best to be the most loved dog in the world....

Linda and Robert with 2 boys and 3 cats, plus dog (Igor) and horse (Taris), are a lovely family with a wonderful house on the riverbank. They serve up very generous family style hospitality, and all family and guests eat together at a large table. They gave us beer and wine on our arrival with no charge.
We had room...

You are right that it takes a little longer in room #1 for the warm water to arrive. It has to come a long way and I have not found a solution yet to shorten the time. In the bathrooms are soap dispensers present that contain soap and shampoo in one. We do not want to have television or radio...
