For some folk the thought of spending a night in a cave would send shivers down their spine but Troglododo is beutifully decorated and tastefully illuminated if you dont want that pitch dark experience. The hosts could not have been more pleasant and informative. When we arrived on our motorcycle after a long hot run a pitcher of cold apple... More

This is a fascinating place to stay as the rooms are caves carved out of the hillside a couple of kilometres out of town. The interiors are whitewashed and beautifully furnished, and decorated in an eccentric and colourful style with imaginative lighting. Our host was very welcoming, and as we were the only guests that night we were allowed to... More

The bathroom is spacious as well, with a big shower. The rooms are excavated in the tuffeau, therefore you can feel a bit of dumpness but it's not... More

A perfect complement to visiting the fairy-tale castles nearby was staying in the hi-tech, super-cool caverns of Troglododo. The most original hotel I've ever stayed at, warm reception, fabulous breakfast and totally comfortable and clean. A treat for young and old!
