Castel Hotel 1904 (Saint-Gervais-d'Auvergne, France)

Refurbished as a hotel in 1904, Castel 1904 is a grand, old house has been run by the same family ever since. All the charm of an old French hotel is to be found in its warm and welcoming rooms, bar and above all its large dinning room, whose parquet floors gleam. The fireplaces, the antique furniture as well as the walls and curtains' earthy tan highlights all contribute to the old-fashioned but very charming character of the hotel. The hallways and rooms have all been recently renovated. They are of an often respectable size, decorated in a spryly rustic way, and are comfortable, well-maintained, and at a price that seems very reasonable to us. You have the choice between the hotel's restaurant (closed on Monday), which offers creative cuisine and the Comptoir à Moustaches, an authentic country bistro. The Castel-Hôtel 1904 is welcoming and friendly - the kind of place you get attached to.
