“Best of All Worlds”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2008

The Arc House stands out from other spas in its ability to tailor its programs to fit your needs. I came to destress due to work burn out as well as lose weight. The environment at the Arc House is perfect so you can relax, exercise at your own pace and enjoy delicious meals with a French flair. There are a nice range of massages and spa treatments to make you feel great and reenergize. The staff is friendly, helpful and responsive to your requests. With the several excursions to different cities (i.e. Toulouse, Bordeaux), you actually visit France and not just stay at a spa. The Arc House has several perks many spas don’t have such as DVD players (Region 2) in your room, a collection of books and magazines as well as wi-fi to keep you entertained and in touch. The most unique feature is having a counselor who helps you with your stress related issues and guides you in finding coping techniques for your daily life. Thus, the results you achieve at the Arc House won’t be lost when you return home. My experience at the Arc House has recharged me. Not only have I lost weight I also have the confidence to continue to do so when I return home. I also learned what are my stress buttons and how to avoid them. Whether you want to relax, reenergize, destress, get fit or lose weight, the Arc House is the perfect choice to help you obtain your goals. No matter why you come, you will find it to be an enjoyable experience. SYH

“Amazing!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2008

It is the perfect place to go if you need to detach from everyday life and reconnect with yourself!

My mother and I went, and both had an amazing experience; we lost weight, made fantastic friends and learned a lot about ourselves and each other!

Now that we are back to our busy lives in The States, we remind each other often to simplify our days and live an Arc House life at home.

Uzoma and Robert, the owners, truly changed my life and my body, and I am so profoundly grateful!!!!

  • Liked — That it is in such a historic building!
  • Disliked — The hills, the hills, the hills!...But, I shouldn't complain, at the end of the day I did lose a lot of weight! :)

“Loved the Arc House”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 April 2008

My stay at the Arc House was one of the most relaxing vacations I have ever taken. Athough, I went there for the weight loss program, I did not feel that I was on a diet, rather a relaxing vacation. The food was great, service friendly and what I learned about food and my addiction to food from Uzoma will last me a life time. The chef prepared the food with skill and gave cooking demonstrations. I still have not gained any weight back and plan to return this summer. The many spa treatments were great and wonderful day trips were planned along with a weekend in Paris and wine tastings at the many vineyards. I highly recommend the wonderful spa getaway!!!

“excellent Spa experience in France!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 March 2008

I have seen in the forum questions about The Arc House, so I felt compelled to post.

I have been twice and cannot recommend it more highly. Uzoma, the owner and teacher, takes each persons journey to heart. The exploration of the whys and hows of bad food choices leaves you realizing changing your habit is not a battle. I returned not only with a weight loss but with the skills to continue. It is a relaxing stay of self discovery. This is not a cookie cutter program. Your needs are the driving factor. All the spa treatments you may desire are available from charming professionals. Happily, with the stay came adventure, as you explore this wonderful region of France.
