Château de Berne

After you see the sign off the D10, it’s a 15 minute anticipatory drive toward the grand entrance. You will not be disappointed, the grounds are breathtaking. If you arrive after sunset, go slowly as the directional signs are not lit and they are small. When you come to a fork in the road, stay right. Methi in Reception provided a warm welcome, offering a gel for my sisters’s sore back. We benefited from her attentive hospitality and missed her on her days off. Our six day stay was magical, enhanced by the most wonderful staff. They brought my sister a large heavy plastic sealed bag of ice for her sore back. Three days in, Rhazi, from room service, brought her another without her asking. Kevin in Engineering showed us how to operate the tv and returned to change batteries in our room phone. Nightly, Rhazi and others from Room Service, brought a wine bucket full of ice for our room, as Americans, we love ice, even in bottled water. Our Junior Suite with terrace with seating for six was perfect, providing the extra room we needed for an extended stay. The setting was extremely quiet, even over the busy weekend. We appreciated the little touches - bottled water for our car each morning, bottled water for the room every night along with a little sweet which changed nightly. The buffet breakfast offerings were endless: order eggs cooked to your liking, pancakes, French toast, smoked salmon, a large cheese selection, cereals and granolas, homemade bread and endless breakfast pastries. You’ll take your breakfast in the stunning Le Jardin Michelin star restaurant. We ordered Room Service three nights, tired from a day of touring the area and preferring not to go out. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Even on the night when the kitchen was closed, a staff member brought us a modified menu. Try the artichoke barigoule with bacon and onion, it was a nice surprise, more like a light vegetable soup. Treat yourself with an extended stay, you will not be disappointed.

I stayed there with 8 friends for a long weekend of hikes, rafting, wine tasting, good food and spa. It was an excellent stay and we would love to come back.

Impeccable service, gorgeous natural surroundings and ultimate relaxation. The staff are consistently courteous, accommodating and friendly. Food is outstanding. The winery tour was among our best ever even though this is not a wine region we favor. Spa and pools were perfect.

We had a Sunday brunch at the L’Olivier restaurant. All the food was very good as well as the staff and service. The surroundings are stunning! Have had lunch at the bistro earlier and that was also nice but this brunch was much better. Recommend to by their rose!

A charming location set within a stunning landscape. Spacious rooms with garden views, exceptional service, and friendly, competent staff. Delightful bar with a fireplace. Superb Michelin-starred restaurant. An oasis for a relaxing getaway.
