Hôtel Château Lacan

“Magical Chateau em Brive”

O Chateau é muito confortável, elegante e cuidadosamente equipado para os visitantes. Não pude parar de tirar fotos. Café da manhã delicioso e Fanni e Remi foram muito graciosos. Tive uma noite agradável sentado no terraço traseiro desfrutando de um copo de vinho.

“A wonderful stay in a French Château”

A stunning building dating 1600, perfectly presented as was the inside. Was wondering what rooms would be like but the bedroom was very modern, warm and extremely comfortable. The corridors were presented very well and the views lovely. The two owners were very hospitable, warm and friendly, continental breakfast was very casual and more than adequate. This was an excellent location to act as a base to the surrounding region. It was also an easy distance for town, but there is a small hill on the way back, as you’d expect.

We arrived having booked our room on-line/e-mail. The reception was very pleasant and efficient. Within a short time we decided to stay in Brive for a second night and asked if we could stay in the same room. This was agreed without hesitation. Our room was a very good size with double aspect views over the garden area. Everything was in good order except that of three wall lights in the bathroom only one was working and we could not get the light above the mirror to work. The hotel does not provide a full restaurant service but a tapas type selection can be provided for dinner. We ate in Brive. The breakfast was very good with a selection of breads, pastries, cakes etc coffee, fruit juices, yoghurts and cereals, cold meats and cheeses and boiled eggs. We enjoyed our breakfasts! All in all we were very happy with our stay at Chateau Lacan.

We booked this hotel as a stopover en route further south and had chosen one of the most highly rated in the area; unfortunately it didn't prove to be very enjoyable. Our room was one of the two mezzanine rooms which meant that the room itself was very small. The sitting area, on the ground floor had room for just two chairs and a small table, plus a short corridor which housed a fridge and cupboard containing a safe. The fridge didn't get very cold and the safe was locked: none of the staff knew how it worked as apparently it was new. In fact we didn't need it as the hotel was safe. Unfortunately the day we stayed it was extremely hot weather and, although the room was air-conditioned, the unit was badly sited so that the cool air blew down and the bedroom area was stiflingly hot. I was unable to even go into the area so we asked for a bed to be made up downstairs. The staff obligingly did this very quickly and I had a reasonably good night's sleep but it wasn't satisfactory to have to make do with a basic camp bed in a luxury hotel! What made this worse was the fact that guests had complained before as shown on previous reviews and, despite promising it would be rectified, nothing had been done. The hotel is situated out of town and doesn't provide meals, which entailed a return taxi journey of 30 euros. The grounds are uninspiring and contain no features such as pool etc, just a small terrace and grassed areas. Without doubt the one redeeming feature of the hotel is the staff who are absolutely lovely and cannot do enough for the guests. They are superb without exception and I trust they are paid well as they are worth their weight in gold. When we checked out I said I hoped I wouldn't be charged full price for this less-than-satisfactory stay and the bill was reduced by 20% which covered the cost of the taxi. However, I wouldn't recommend the hotel and think it is over-rated.
