Relais & Châteaux Hôtel La Réserve

Tranquil Beautiful setting - highly recommended Rooms are more 4* than 5, but the view is one of the best. It is definitely the best hotel in the area. Not one for families with young children. Perfect for a couples break. Restaurant is lovely for evening meals.

What a delightful place. It truly is a peaceful reserve nestled outside the bustle of the town. Beautifully situated on the banks of the Tarn River, the owners and staff are universally friendly, helpful and kind. We got lost on our way there. Not only did they call to make sure my husband and I were okay, they asked the chef to stay to cook us a late dinner. The room was very clean. The patio, pool and dining areas are just lovely. We had a room overlooking the river and it was a quiet and soul calming moment to sit on the balcony and watch the river go by. My husband and I both want to come back and thank you for such kind treatment. We appreciate what you do here!

We really enjoyed our stay. The staff are very kind and helpful, giving us many good recommendations. The grounds are peaceful and perfect for a morning stroll. Julian the Sommelier gave us perfect wine recommendations and vineyards to visit. Beatrice at the front desk was very kind and gave us a great restaurant recommendation. We would love to come back for another stay.

Brilliant and would like to return if at all possible The grounds are large and well kept in perfect order The view is superb facing the river e

Amazing staff. They make you feel at home. They have knowledge of the place and recommend accordingly

Lovely environment, very quiet and peaceful, staff was extraordinarily helpful, friendly and cheerful.

Amazing hotel right in the river. Great view, relaxed atmosphere and amazing service from the second we arrived. Parking and travel cot was included for free. Would 100% come back.

I have never stayed at a hotel that had a more beautiful, peaceful setting than this one, with lawns sloping down to the river Tarn and large trees cradling the vista. Our room was spacious, quiet, and comfortable, with a sliding door and balcony overlooking the lawns and river. I got a kick out of the artsy twisted-metal light fixture in the corner. (Two very minor quibbles: the door to the toilet didn't shut completely, and the sliding door to the balcony had no curtain, only a metal shutter.) The dining room and other public spaces were also simple, lovely, and focused on the gorgeous grounds. Didn't want to leave!

The hotel is set slightly off the road and by the time we pulled up outside the front door two staff members were there to greet us and take our luggage. Check in was friendly and efficient after which we were shown to our room, our bags having been taken up directly from the car. All the staff we met during our stay were very pleasant and eager to assist. The room was nicely finished. It was spacious and airy and was well equipped with comfortable chairs, coffee machine, complimentary water. We had a river view and loved just sitting on the balcony watching the river flow gently by. The hotel is located on the outskirts of Albi in generous and beautiful grounds which run down to the river. It was a truly tranquil and relaxing location, topped off with a generous sized swimming pool which was a joy to use. After a long journey we thoroughly enjoyed the peace of the hotel and it’s grounds and left feeling fully refreshed. We stayed for 2 nights and ate at the hotel both nights. The food was very good, the service quietly efficient. The menu was short but we didn’t struggle choosing what to eat either night. Had we stayed a third night we would probably have eaten out in town. Breakfast was a self service buffet although I believe we could have ordered hot food, cooked fresh. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t think twice about staying again if we were in the Albi area.
