I travelled to the hotel from La Rochelle airport (1hr 10 mins with a careful driver) and was liking the scenery. As it got better and better we were nearing Hotel Karina. What a superb place!

A warm welcome, a comfortable bed. An ice-cold pineau de Charentes aperitif and an excellent dinner. The calves liver main course was exquisite! Breakfast was served in the sunny courtyard - hot croissants and home-made bread and preserves. The only drawback was that we didn't allow enough time to enjoy the swimming pool!

We only stayed for one night en route to Carcassonne, but what a find! Nicki and Austin were great hosts - felt like old friends. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the food was superb. I can see why people return year after year, and we will certainly be back.

Such a lovely hotel, run by such a lovely couple! Wonderful food from morning til night.

The room was spacious and more than comfortable - in fact, we had too much sleep due to the large comfy bed!!!!
