Château de Fontager

Amazing location, beautiful building and grounds. Anyone staying anywhere near Tain l’Hermitage should stay here! Really good restaurant as well!

the hotel is beautiful. The restaurant was some of the best french food we have had, whilst the swimming area is SO BIG and amazing.

not a complaint, but be aware there is no aircon due to the hotels age, so when it is 30+ degrees, the rooms get hot!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel. Everything was beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean, and the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. The garden is simply stunning, with gorgeous greenery all around, and the pool area is absolutely beautiful. The whole setting feels peaceful, elegant, and very well cared for. The food was also excellent, and everything throughout our stay was truly perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this wonderful hotel!

The only negative point I would mention is the limited variety on the restaurant menu. We had already stayed at the hotel in June, and when we returned, the menu was still the same, with only three main dishes to choose from, which feels quite limited. Unfortunately, there isn’t much choice at the restaurant, and if you stay for more than three days, it becomes quite difficult to have enough variety in your meals. This is particularly noticeable because the hotel is quite isolated, with very few alternative restaurants nearby. It would therefore be wonderful to see a slightly larger selection of dishes or a menu that changes more regularly, especially for guests staying several days.

Although it says on Booking that they are pet-friendly, we could not have dinner & breakfast in the restaurant with our well-behaved and quiet dog. Even not in a restaurant with nearly no guests. In addition, we had booked a deluxe room but were downgraded one category because of the dog („you don’t have to pay the extra pet-charge“).
