Ecole Olargues - Chambres & restaurant - Teritoria

Amazing!

Pros: I couldn’t recommend this place more! Laura and everyone was so welcoming! The place is absolutely stunning, beautifully designed and smells lovely. There is so much attention to detail. It is the perfect place to relax with a lovely aperol spritz by the pool or the river, with a lovely tapas dish and watch the river flow by. I think this is one of my favourite hotels I have ever been to. The restaurant next door is incredible - I would highly recommend booking for lunch or dinner during your stay.

Cons: We weren’t aware on booking that the restaurant or pool bar wouldn’t be open. It would have been great to be notified about this, as it made lunches and dinners slightly more challenging/limited. I specifically wanted to book somewhere with a restaurant, but it wasn’t open for the 3 days of our stay in August.

Wonderful stay, highly recommend

Pros: Beautifully furnished, lovely location with access to the river for wild swimming

Wonderful experience at L'école

Pros: A truly excellent experience, we wish we had stayed a few more days just to relax and enjoy this wonderful place. Everyone running the hotel is friendly and helpful, and it was nice to meet the equally friendly owners - which also meant the restaurant was open and we had a great dinner on the terrace overlooking the village. The pool, gardens and access to the river for a swim were fabulous. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

One of our favorite stops

Pros: Loved the location and vibe of this beautiful little hotel.

Pros: Our room was incredible, so spacious, big windows. Felt really luxurious but also characterful. Laura was great. Amazing view over the river and of Olargues.

Top

Pros: Very nicely converted building. Big, very comfortable rooms. Small hotel. Very friendly staff

Wish we could have stayed longer !!!!

Pros: The location is wonderful .. views over the medieval village and the river .the hotel is a true gem of relaxation .Laura who looked after us was extremely helpful and kind and gave us tips of where to swim in the local Area .. I even swam straight out from the hotel .. it’s a magical place .

Cons: It was a shame the restaurant was closed but the breakfast was fabulous .we were recommended another place to eat next door which was a beautiful experience .

Pros: What a treat to arrive to this converted Boarding School by the Van Den Berghe brothers. The attention to detail and huge spaces on the edge of a beautiful river and one of the most beautiful outlooks of our trip. Hire a bike in the next town Mons la Trivalle and bike (mostly flat) the old rail line through scenic bush and over bridges

Lovely place

Pros: Amazing location. Lovely view to the an old mountain village over the river. There are various terraces to sit out and watch the otter live it's life in the river. It is a small hotel that is a holiday home of some family that they operate as a hotel when they don't use the property. They encourage the guests to use the space as if it was theirs. So we were free to uses the big terraces, we borrowed cutlery from the kitchen (that is this in the middle of this huge bar/lounge/gallery space) to eat our lunch. Deco is lovely and fresh. Modern, earthy yet elegant. Not sure what to call their style, maybe California Boho.

Cons: Pool is settled amongst thick bamboo and as is infested with mosquitos even during the day. Also it was full of plant material and figs. Basically not maintained. Breakfast is extremely expensive for what you get. €25 for a few slices of bread, some jam and butter and cheese, and a croissant. (1st day I also got 1 egg, but not on the 2nd day). You are better off walking to the local bakery (5-7 min walk) Restaurant is only open if they have lots of guests/restaurant booking. But given how expensive breakfast was, maybe it's a good thing we couldn't eat a dinner here. (By the way an extremely good restaurant is right next door!)

It was so nice we changed our flights to stay another night

Pros: Location, views, space, arty, gardens. But most of all the staff were excellent. Free to move around as if it was your home. This place is a gem. You almost wouldn’t want to let anyone else know about it.

Cons: Nothing but a lighter beer would have been nice.
