Finde Hotels in Sermizelles

This is a comfortable hotel situated at the bottom of the hill on which the medieval town of Vézelay is perched. Apart from the ramparts walk, everything in the town is uphill and must be accessed by foot, so be advised if you have difficulty walking. (There is handicapped access to the Basilique Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, so I suppose there must be some allowance for vehicular access.) Our room faced the Place Champ du Foire, which is quite active during the day with market stalls, tourists and pilgrims beginning their walk to Santiago de Compostela. It quietens down at night, but the D951 is immediately in front of the hotel, so be prepared for the noise of lorries passing by. The room was comfortable, we liked the king-size bed, which had a very good mattress. The bathroom was well-appointed but a bit of a squeeze for two people, unless one was in the shower. There were some period pieces of furniture which frankly had seen better days. The wardrobe had only hanging space for very short items, which was a drawback. Breakfast was excellent, with a good selection of items. As there is not much competition, the hotel is on the expensive side—but it was a special birthday visit for us. The staff are friendly and helpful—if you speak French (which we do). There is a very good chef at the hotel restaurant so I would recommend at least one dinner in-house. There is a bar and a terrace for a relaxing drink. All in all, a good place to stay

We stayed here for 5 nights on our honeymoon exploring the area around Avallon. The lady who runs the hotel was very friendly and helpful. This is a typical French provincial hotel done very well - our stay was comfortable and the accommodation was excellent value. The continental breakfast in particular was really great! If there is any downside it would be that some of the decor is a little dated (but everything is perfectly clean and tidy!) and the WiFi reception on the top floor was not very strong, but for us these were really minor points that didn't affect our stay. During our stay the weather was very hot, and thankfully the air conditioning in the room worked well. We wanted a cosy, comfortable, typical French hotel for our mini break, and we were not disappointed! Next time I am in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to book here again.
