Like many, we booked an overnight to sample a fine 2 star meal.

I cannot fault the room; it was immaculate, smartly furnished, and comfortable with a lovely terrace overlooking the floral and sculpture gardens and the pool. Charming yet modern. I enjoyed a nice soak in the large tub.

The meal itself was indeed very good, but we did not find it exceptional or up to its star rating. This is supposed to be food as an art form, and something was amiss in the attention to detail. Some dishes were outstanding and some (particularly dessert) were not of the quality one would expect. The pacing of courses was a bit off; some came almost too quickly and some very slowly. Perhaps the larger issue in the dining room was a pervasive sense of staff indifference. I don't think the pastry chef would have been happy to see his dessert served flopped over on its side -- whoops -- oh well. Service like that shouldn't happen in the land of food as art.

We must have been visiting while the gardener and pool staff were on vacation though -- the pool and its deck was completely covered in pine needles and the flowers needed some attention. I almost started pinching off the deadhead blossoms myself. My companion nearly rehung pictures on the wall that were crooked. Again, we found attention to detail lacking. The grounds have some interesting artwork and are enjoyable to stroll.

My sense is Relais de la Poste used to try much harder than it does now. If you go you will definitely have a good meal and a comfortable stay. But it won't be as exceptional as it could have been if they'd pay attention to the details that make up the total experience.

We went only for one night and mainly because we wanted to try the restaurant, which is supposed to be very good. It was excellent indeed. It is a Relais Chateaux hotel, in the cathegory of Relais Gourmands.

The rooms are very spacious and new. The attention is excellent.

Restaurant was excellent and the setting is very beautiful.

We had dinner by the fireplace. We took breakfast also, which was around 16 euros per person (this I don't remember exactly). You had to order it the night before asking specifically for what you wanted. If you wanted eggs it was about 20 euros.

We will definitely go back as it was a very nice one night away from home.

If you go, make the reservation directly with the hotel ON THE PHONE, as it is cheaper than making it through Relais Chateaux or the hotel web site.
