I had a fantastic time at La Tourelle Resort! The charming atmosphere and beautiful outdoor setting made for a lovely getaway. The breakfast at The Bistro was absolutely delicious, and I loved the complimentary wine tasting. On the downside, I was a bit disappointed by the separate sauna facilities for men and women, which hindered our ability to relax together. Overall, it was a great experience, but I wish the spa amenities were more inclusive.

Staying in the Mickey Suite was a unique experience with spacious charm, but it felt overpriced considering the hot bedrooms and cleanliness issues. The grounds were lovely, and my kids had a blast with the resident ducks. While the breakfast was quite good, I’d likely opt for a standard room next time for better value.

I had a very nice and relaxing experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and featured a cozy fireplace, making it a lovely retreat. Breakfast was enjoyable, although it seemed a bit overpriced. The service during dinner was excellent, but there is definitely room for improvement in room amenities, particularly the bathroom fixtures.

Our stay at La Tourelle was absolutely wonderful! The hotel gave us a cozy feel with its charming architecture and beautiful surroundings. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, making our experience memorable. We especially loved the spa and the amazing breakfast options. However, we did encounter some confusion with the hiking trail directions, which could have been clearer, and the price was on the higher side for certain amenities.
