Hotel-Restaurant CHARTRON

Chartron is mainly a very fine restaurant - with overnight options. A few rooms, all fully equipped (including AC) quite small but very comfortable. And affordable. If any criticism should be made, the beds are a bit narrow.|Else ... everything is fine.||Highly recommended if you have plans to eat in the restaurant and want a short way home so to speak. And you should definitely try the superb restaurant (see my separate review).||The hotel/restaurant are in the middle of the small town Saint-Donat-sur-l'Herbasse but has in any case a secluded "back yard" with a small pond and some furniture for relaxation - along with something to drink from the bar.

I was visiting friends who live here, and they recommended this place. From start to finish, it was wonderful! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent—they truly knew what they were doing. We all opted for the truffle menu, and it did not disappoint. The wine selection was equally impressive. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience, and I’ll definitely return the next time I’m back. Highly recommended!

We had a dinner on 25 / 10 /24 - very nice plates and amazing flavors - professional service - proper atmosphere - good location - its on the Michelin guide Price wise you pay what you get / you get what you pay. Would go again // reccomanded.

A lovely oasis.|For many years we have visited this wonderful hotel. A good night’s rest is always guaranteed. Clean spacious rooms, adjacent bathroom, excellent beds and above all peace and quiet. The food in the restaurant is of Michelin star quality and the French breakfast is delicious. Highly recommended.

This is a pearl. The hotel is charming and cosy. The room was very nice decorated and there is a nice bubble bath. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They were very friendly to our dog, which made the stay for us very relaxing. |In the evening we had dinner in the restaurant and we enjoyed the full experience.

The Chartron is located in the small town of Saint-Donat, about 17km from the nearest exit off the A7 autoroute between Lyon and Marseilles. The town is in the middle of an agricultural area specializing in fruit (apricots) and wine (like Crozes-Hermitage). The hotel faces onto the road - parking is available in a garage up a side street. The rooms are decorated very nicely if a little cramped. Free (fast) Wi-Fi is available, but only after you receive a slip containing a username and password (why hotels continue to insist on this is beyond me). But you probably won't come here for the hotel itself as the restaurant rightly gets the most praise. We ate a very good evening meal there taking the "menu de saison" (EUR38) together with some excellent local wine. All of the dishes were enjoyable, including an excellent selection of cheeses at the end. The service is very good and friendly, but not much English is spoken. Be prepared to try your best French and all will be well. Breakfast is also good (EUR14) - much better than the norm. This is a place worth considering if you're looking for an overnight stop during a long autoroute drive to or from the Riviera or other places in the south.

Had an amazing meal here in the courtyard. The whole team and chefs were great, would highly recommend.

This restaurant with a few hotel rooms is amazing. It better be in order to attract customers in the sleepy little town of St Donat sur Herbasse ! Honestly this was the best meal I had in years. Service was impeccable. I wish I could put 6 stars. If a Michelin star was awarded to this restaurant, it wouldn't be a shame. Bravo !
