I stayed at Villa St Simon for 1 night with my wife during a 2 week holiday in the nearby area. Les & Clarissa were absolutely fantastic hosts, very welcoming and helpful. We chose the Rouselle room, we were not disappointed as it was a large double room with a huge bathroom and an amazing balcony overlooking the local park.
When we arrived we booked the wine tasting that evening with Les, in their newly acquired premises just a few meters from the Villa St Simon. There were just 4 of us and Les at the wine tasting and the art gallery was a perfect setting, nice and relaxing. Les is very knowledgeable about wine and we learnt lots during the hour or so we spent at the tasting! Clarissa was kind enough to book us a table at a locally recommended restaurant - Le Gavroche. One of the many benefits of staying at Villa St Simon is that you can take your own bottle of wine to some of the selected restaurants in the area. In the reception area of the Villa there is a nice selection of wine to choose from starting from €10, all you do is choose a bottle, put the price tag on the hook corresponding to your room on the wall and they add this to your bill - very easy! Le Gavroche was absolutely fantastic, we chose the Menu du Soir, for €20 each we had 3 courses which were fantastic...highly recommended and we would not have found this restaurant had it not been for Clarissa and Les's recommendation.
Overall we had a great time and only wish that we could have stayed longer than 1 night, as we would have loved to go on one of the wine tours. We'll be back...one day!
