Le Domaine de Baulieu, Singuliers Hotels

Very nice place, excellent breakfast

We enjoyed our second story balcony. Very relaxing although mosquitoes do come at dusk. Room is modern and spacious. No elevator. Dinner was a tedious affair. Pacing was poor and food uninspiring. Definitely not a gourmet experience. It would have been more enjoyable to choose from a menu rather than choose between two fixed options given there are no dining options nearby.

I am giving this 5 stars for the restaurant. Seriously one of the best meals of my life. 5 course tasting menu with wine pairing 88 euros. This is not a series of small bites but decent portions served with really excellent wine. Menu changes seasonally and much of it is foraged. Excellent service from knowledgeable staff.

What we liked: We liked being in the countryside. It was quiet and we walked the roads around the property to see lovely views. We liked the food, quite excellent. What we didn't like: Taxi arrangement from the train station didn't work out, luckily an Uber was available. After that we walked to/from hotel and town -- property like this should have some kind of car shuttle. Also the food was extraordinary, but the server for dinner was somewhat unfriendly (because we are two women or because our French isn't great or because we don't want wine??). Finally, we found the room quite small and there was no indoor public sitting area to relax and read during the late afternoon when it was raining. Wifi was nominal.

Fantastic hotel in a wonderful setting. Beautiful rooms with stunning views, including the cute resident donkeys. Service was impeccable and the pool was divine. Was great hotel on our driving holiday. Would highly recommend it. The staff were very helpful and suggested some great local restaurants for us.
