La Chapelle Saint Martin

La Chapelle Saint Martin has a friendly homely and personable feel.||We stayed 3-nights in a spacious ground floor Deluxe Suite with a very comfortable King Bed and stunning views of the ground’s lawns and lake.||Our main reason for selecting La Chapelle Saint Martin was to visit Oradour-sur-Glane where in WW2 the Nazis massacred the entire village of 642 men, women, and children before burning the village to the ground. After the war, the then-General Charles de Gaulle decreed that the ruined village would remain untouched as a reminder of Nazi brutality. Very moving.||We also visited Adrien Dubouché National Museum which has the largest public collection of Limoges porcelain in the world. Amazing, and relieved us of quite a deal of cash at their shop for gifts for family and friends.||Breakfast and Dinner were absolutely first class and the Soufflé was scrumptious!||Staff that pampered us included –|Annalee, Maison, Paul (Sommelier) – thanks for the tour of the cellar

We stayed at this hotel in 2023 and as we were travelling for a couple of months we decided to stay here again so that we could have a relaxing time for a few days. The hotel is in lovely grounds so there is plenty of space to move around. We ate in the bistro and enjoyed the food. As before the staff are very thoughtful and attended to our requirements always with a smile.|Thank you Aude & Giles

What an amazing place - a stunning hotel in beautiful, immaculately kept grounds. The staff were attentive and friendly..and my room was just wonderful - well appointed with everything you could need and the bed extremely comfortable! Highly recommended!

Beautiful countryside hotel with amazing service. The service makes you feel like you’re in your own chateau. The restaurant is high quality, although the tasting menu might be a little adventurous for a non-French tourist. There is road noise, but hotel rooms facing the lake were perfectly quiet. We used as the first place from the airport, though the drive is far after an overnight flight. Note Google maps does not take you the entrance, watch for the sign which is not lit. Breakfast was very tasty and worth the additional cost. The overall grounds are beautiful in Fall and I expect amazing in Summer.

a wonderful experience from start to finish, with charming and efficient staff and amazing food.

Our poor experience may not be due to the hotel but it’s important that other travellers are aware to make sure they read the fine print. Our travel company specifically told us that we had booked a room with air conditioning and it was confirmed in our booking details. This was important to us since we were travelling in mid July for our honeymoon. Unfortunately the room was unbearably hot. We could not sleep for 2 nights. If we opened the window it was very light and noisy from the street cars and people looked straight into our room from the entrance path to the hotel so we had to shut it. On a 2nd floor room in 40 degree heat it was very hot. The fridge in our room couldn’t work due to the heat either. I do want to be clear though that the manager and staff were lovely and very kind. There was nothing they could do since it was fully booked and they were very upset that our travel agent did not make it clear that we had booked without air con. If you are travelling in summer please make sure you book with air con and understand that the only way to know if you have air con is to contact the hotel directly. There is no price difference with or without it. It’s a beautiful place and we wish we had a better experience.

What a wonderful, fabulous place. Set into a gorgeous park, this small Relais & Chateau was the highlight of our 2 weeks vacation biking across France, and definitely our favorite hotel this summer. We had a Suite with a terrace directly on the park, very spacious and comfortable, while our children were upgraded to a superior room on the first floor, with a huge bathtub. The breakfast was amazing and the dinner (Michelin star) even better. Very nice pool set a bit aside from the main building. The service was impeccable and everybody was extremely attentive and friendly. We stayed 2 night and after 1 day, we already felt at home. I'm trying to find a reason to go back to Limoges just to stay at Chapelle St.Martin again ! Thanks a lot to the whole team!

My wife and I recently had dinner at La Chapelle Saint Martin. I had not returned there for many years but the place clearly matched my memories: the beautiful park with century-old trees, the charming 19th century manor and the enchanting view on the Limousin countryside from the terrace. We were welcomed by the owner and chef who also took our order providing interesting insights about our selection.The first course, lobster and egg was delicious as was my wife's. The main course, veal entrecote, was perfect and the dessert, a chocolate souffle, was perfectly executed. Very professional and efficient service. One minor criticism however. The dining room where our table was located was fully occupied, some tables with relatively turbulent and noisy kids. As there are two other dining rooms we would have appreciated to be accommodated in a more quiet area. We didn't stay overnight. Therefore, I cannot review the rooms and breakfast. However, the restaurant is definitely worth its Michelin one star and is certainly one of the best options in the Limoges area.
