Hotel Domaine de Biar

Beautiful location, nice pool, love the calmness of the houses. It's really relaxing. The hotel manager is great. Really welcoming, friendly, accommodating. The massages my husband and I had were absolutely amazing. But otherwise the service is not so great. The room has quite a few spider webs and the windows have not been cleaned properly on the outside in ages. And when they did clean the room, they left all dirty dishes and glasses in the room. The service at the restaurant was not great either. The waiter was with quite an attitude. We asked if it's possible to have an old fashioned and got told relatively rude that everything they have is in the menu. I ordered a starter and a cheese platter which I wanted at the same time as my husband's main and was told that this was a "difficult" request. I told in the restaurant booking that my husband is intolerant to eggplant and guess what he received as part of his main? In the morning we asked for an almond latte and got told we should use the machine. But the machine is only loaded with normal milk... My recommendation would also be to ask people if they smoke and then split the seating in two. As eating a really expensive dish surrounded with cigarette smoke really impacts the experience.

Whilst visiting Montpellier, we stayed at Domaine de Biar for 2 nights. The Domaine looked beautiful on the outside. The receptionist was very friendly. I do believe a stay at the Hotel is far too expensive for what it offers. The rooms (except for the suits) aren't nice at all. The cleaning wasn't thourough (still cobwebs and dust) and the breakfast was nice but not special. When we left (I had payed upfront) the guy at the reception said that I still had to pay a small amount for the city tax. He had also charged me a forfeit of 40 euros for tips. This was standard he said but if i didn't want it, it could be removed. We paid more than 300 euro a night for a small room. Carrying our bags to the room wasn't offered nor was any other service when we stayed there. In France service is included. If the service had been exceptional the tip wouldn't have bothered me, but the fact that they charged it automatically and one had to ask explicitly to have it removed disgusted me.

Wonderful place! Unbelievable warm and lovely staff! The area and rooms are beautiful and we loved every second of. We felt so welcome and would recommend it to everyone! :)

Great stay. Quiet location right outside of the city. The grounds and chateau were scenic. Upon arrival, the hotel upgraded our room to the best suite after hearing it was our honeymoon. Food at the restaurant was amazing as well. Staff were helpful and very nice as well. Only thing that’s still a mystery is both our headphones going missing but anything could have happened.

The Domaine De Biar is a chateau hotel in a tranquil rural setting a 20 minute drive outside Montpellier. The chateau grounds offer wonderful rustic charm in a classic French provincial setting. The hotel itself is OK without ever being anything more than that. It is certainly not bad by any means, but nor does it have any wow factor outside the chateau facade and the grounds. The room we were allotted had it's good and not so good points. The good? It had a balcony and was right in the centre of the chateau. The not so good? The room was the narrowest room we have ever stayed in. This meant that there was no real bathroom, bat rather an open basin/vanity in the entrance on one side and a shower on the other side. The most unusual set up we have ever experienced, and ever likely to experience. The room also had no TV...probably because there was nowhere to put it, and a musty smell that is common in older poorly ventilated properties. The front desk clerk informed us that the chateau is due to conduct renovations, and that should help. All up, it wasn't a bad stay by any means, but nor did the chateau compel us to want to stay there ever again.

This is a superb hotel and we couldn't fault anything n- food, service, staff, accommodation all excellent. We stayed 3 nights in the newish pink Flamingo inspired room and had a fantastic stay and wouldn't hesitate to come back. It was a great place to chill out and relax. One thing that might add to the experience would be the opportunity to hire bikes so we could have explored the area a little.

The hotel is exquisite and the grounds spectacular and so incredibly relaxing.||Everywhere was spotlessly clean and everything in the room of the highest standard. ||However, what makes Domaine de Biar extra special are the staff.||It is very rare to encounter such enthusiastic, knowledgeable, professional and caring people, without exception.||Nothing was too much trouble.||My daughter and I stayed for 5 nights. ||We dined on two evenings. The service was exemplary and the food excellent.||The menu is limited but everything we ate was superb. There are also restaurants nearby and Montpelier is also close and the staff are happy to recommend places to visit and dine. ||I would highly recommend a stay at Domaine de Biar .. a wonderful experience .

A quiet getaway in the Southern part of France, very close to Montpellier. Beautiful grounds. We stayed for a night. I love the adorable horses! Valentine was really lovely and sweet. The deluxe suite was a dream, with great views of the sunrise and greenery. Delectable breakfast with nice cheese! The chef made seriously good scrambled eggs. I can imagine this place would be so nice in the summer. Room is well insulated and heater works well.
