What an experience!

After having huge bad luck with the car, these people were absolutely what we needed.

We called at 7pm at night because we couldn't find anywhere to sleep after we still couldn't get a replacement car from the insurance company.
The hotel's hostess was extremely quick to switch gears and made our experience unforgettable.
From a low point to one of our finest experience ever in a hotel.
All the staff were immensely helpful, from helping carry our luggage to the perfect welcome at the hotel itself.
We enjoyed a blissful refreshment in our fine room and were immediately allowed to take a seat on their breathtaking terrace by the restaurant.
The spot on the mountain overlooks a beautiful valley, a picturesque church and the beautiful mountains of De Ardesch.
We were allowed to taste delicious champagne, fine wine from the region and an outstanding menu worked out to perfection.
After a great dinner, we took a wonderful evening walk in this beautiful village and enjoyed a perfect night's sleep in their chilled, relaxing rooms.
The icing on the cake was their wonderfully extensive breakfast with again plenty of local produce and their enduring generosity and hospitality.
They called a taxi for our trip to the replacement car and helped us every step of the way.
In short, an experience never to be forgotten.
The hostess and wonderful staff of this hotel are a gift from heaven. Thank you so much for all your love and hospitality!

Kind regards,
Kobe and Roxanne

Absolutely lovely. We spent one night at La Capitelle during our Ardeche discovery trip, and adored it. The room is simple but very welcoming and modern. The restaurant is charming and so is the family running the business. If you are around Mirmande, you should stop there for at least a meal. Don't forget to book - not many tables available ... and many guests!

Stopping overnight we experienced a very welcoming and comfortable stay in this village hotel.  The views from the terrace are spectacular and enjoying drinks in the evening, followed by an excellent dinner (compliments to the chef) made this short visit very pleasurable.  Breakfast the next morning was again presented with fresh local produce - a delight.  The village too is interesting, being one of France's beaux village  and worthy of a longer stay.  We would certainly recommend this hotel.
