We had booked at the Esperance Hotel counting on its rating and the name behind it (M. Meneau) as a guarantee for quality. And also for the swimming pool, a plus in the summer. The location is really convenient, very close to Vezelay, however the setting of the hotel itself, right off the road and on both sides of the... more

This is our 3rd visit to the restaurant Marc Meneau. We usually stay at Chateau Vault du Lugny. We thought we would try this for a change. it looked similar to a motel 6 travel lodge on the outside. The rooms were charming, but smoky smelling and did still come with the bug spray. You have no service on that... more

We had a delightful stay at the hotel, and excellent dinner and found the hospitality to be courteous, helpful and gracious. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this charming Relais to anyone prepared to enjoy themselves. John September 2008 more

- Initially we were booked for a two day stay at L’Esperance. However our disappointment with the hotel was so big that we decided to leave earlier. The room we were sent was so small that did not allow to open two small pieces of luggage. When we asked for a larger room we were moved to their property across... more

We were on the 595 euros plan - included room, breakfast and dinner (light dinner one night, full dinner the second). We were put in the "Pres de Marguerite", their property across the road. The room was a bit tacky - white, pink and green with floral and fruit cutouts on the wall. It also came with its own can... more

After reading some of the other reviews here, I must conclude that I am easy to please. I didn't stay overnight here and therefore saw only the restaurant, but what I did experience was in my opinion a superb lunch served in a lovely setting by cordial and competent personnel. I found the furnishings, decor, artwork, tableware and garden view... more

We stayed here with another couple, (all French natives, except me) and we were all disappointed with both the hotel and the restaurant. Our room, in the mill house, was okay, but nothing special, with evidence of mice, and just one tiny fan to combat the considerable summer heat. The pool area is unattractive. They seem to be cutting corners... more

Marc Meneau's hotel and restaurant was our 11th hotel and sixth and last Relais & Chateaux establishment before the drive back to Calais and home. Expectations were very high . . . and inevitably disappointment cut very deeply. Let me explain why. First the room. It was No.28 in the Pre des Marguerites, across the road and through the car... more

Reliable and wonderful for a real gastronomic treat, L'Esperance fully deserves to have recovered its third Michelin star. Perfect service and a courteous and charming welcome from the elegant Madame Meneau. This is however more of a restaurant with (very comfortable if rather small) rooms than a luxury hotel. The conservatory dining room glitters at night with hundreds of candles.... more
