A modern and quiet 3-star hotel near the vineyards with individually-designed rooms, some available with massage showers, this hotel makes a good base for touring the vineyards. The restaurant (rather pretentiously called ‘Au Verbe Aimer’ meaning ‘Here’s to the Verb Love’) is of a decent quality with advice offered about the quite wide choice of local wines. There is a swimming pool and a programme of spa treatments is offered. Pleasant walking in the area.

Useful information: Rooms: €99-€153; Breakfast: €11; half-board terms, see website. Menus: €19.50 (not weekends) - €58. Restaurant closed Sunday evenings (except July-August), plus Monday and Saturday lunchtimes.
