La Maison d'Ambronay

What a gem. Everything about our stay was perfect, Nathalie’s friendliness and hospitality, massive room, cleanliness, delicious food and beautifully furnished. Not many people would take on such a big project like this but Nathalie has done it with such good taste and retaining the spirit of the school. A perfect lesson to others learning how to run such a place. Grand Merci et chapeau! Patrick

We loved everything about our stay, the town, the beautiful house but hospitality was the highest point. We can’t think of a better hostess than Natalie, she was available, generous and thoughtful. We will never forget the meals she prepared for us.

Wow, what an incredible hostess and accommodations. Nathalie is delightful, the decor is welcoming, the location to explore the area is perfect. A special treat is to dine in one night with Nathalie as your chef! Highly recommended!!!

Hotel located in the quiet and charming village of Ambronay. The building used to be the old local primary school and the amazingly decorated rooms retain some of the original furniture. Nathalie is an excellent host and the breakfast she prepared, based on fresh local food, was absolutely delicious. Overall, it was a great and unique experience. Definitely recommended!

It was a surprisingly lovely short stay on our way from Belgium to Italy. The school turned into hotel is done with so much love and filled with so much authentic details. And all facilities were super comfy. Breakfast was just a feast and Nathalie is the best host you can imagine.

The spacious, comfortable rooms afford guests the opportunity to do some nostalgic time-travel back to their days as schoolchildren. Wonderful breakfast, ample parking. The charming hostess takes excellent care of her guests. Dinner is also served, but it's not a gastronomic restaurant, more like a school cafeteria.

Nathalie welcomed us with the warmest of welcomes, and our stay just got better and better.|This place is unique, and it is a wonderful addition to the village. Allied with the marvelous restaurant 5 metres away across the narrow street, and the wonderful Abbey directly across from both the hotel and the restaurant, just sitting above the lovely town square; there is every reason for repeat visits to d'Ambronay, and we certainly plan to come back again and again over the coming years.|Nathalie has somehow fashioned a magnificent chambre d'hôtes out of an old infant school.|It is truly amazing what she has achieved.|Each of the 4 rooms is fantastic.|When we were there the weather was very hot, but the old building coped wonderfully well with the heat, and we had the most magnificent breakfast out in the sunshine on a long trestle table out in the schoolyard.|Nathalie went to considerable efforts to bring us the freshest and best pastries and bread, with beautiful fresh fromage frais, configured, honey, lovely salami, ham ,cheese etc. My wife declared it the best breakfast she could remember for a long time, and she is a breakfast expert.|Thank you Nathalie for making our stay so comfortable, enjoyable and pleasing.|Gold star and 10/10 for Nathalie!|

Wonderful and unique B & B in former village primary school. ||||Nathalie, the owner, will welcome you with open arms and makes you feel at home. When you enter the building, you will be amazed. Colourful walls, playful decoration and old school benches, chairs, book....etc make this place one of a kind. The B & B sparks joy !||||It has 4 huge, beautiful and comfortable rooms with it own bathrooms. Each very different. 2 rooms at the front and 2 rooms at the back. Some rooms have a bath and shower in the room, instead of having a separate bathroom. Good to know if you share the room with a friend :) The 2 rooms at the front are on the streetside. If you are a light sleeper, it is better to book a room at the back facing the school yard. The yard is full of chairs and long tables, sun chairs, swing, big tree for some shade and there is a covert part with table football. The breakfast is great. Every day it is slightly different and everything is fresh and local.||||We slept 1 night in the B & B on our way to the south of France, but we loved it so much, that we booked again for 2 nights on the way back home. Opposite the B & B there is a wonderful restaurant with a Michelin star and you can also visit the abbey next to it. There is also a good restaurant 2 km away from the B & B with a big garden where you can eat pizza's and salads.||||I could say a lot more about La Maison d'Ambronay, but I think you should check it out yourselves! Say hi to Nathalie from me.
