Purchased a ‘Groupon’ voucher for a special offer at the ‘Chavant Hotel’ near Grenoble and stayed there early November. The hotel is a member of the ‘Châteaux & Hôtels Collection’ group.||||On the way there we stopped in Chambéry, a nice town with a pedestrian area and loads of shops!! Late afternoon we arrived in the small village where the hotel is situated. Cute, oldie worldie and charming house with a small reception area, a cosy lounge area with a real fire place, a dining room also with a real fire place. The decoration is exactly as you see it in the internet… like in an old manor house. There is a terrace with old trees where you also could eat in summer and quite a big pool (which was of course covered at this time of the year), sun beds, etc. Pretty, romantic garden – would have been nice to be there in summer!||||Our room was a nice size with a big double bed, lounge table, sofa, separate dressing area. Modern bathroom with everything you need (tropical forest type shower) and separate WC. Big terrace overlooking the fields and front entry of the hotel. ||||After a nice glass of champagne, we sat down for dinner – gourmet menu with 7 courses. We must admit that we loved some of the dishes but some we disliked quite a bit as, for our taste, they were far too heavy/greasy. Impressive wine card but so were the prices as well. We nevertheless found a good light French red wine for Euro 42 which is quite correct in such a place. Service was friendly and easy going.||||Everyone was very helpful and friendly.||||All in all we enjoyed our stay in this special, romantic atmosphere and would love to go back in the summer when the garden is in full bloom and we can use the pool.
