Deep in the French countryside it may be, but Les Deux Abbesses is far from the stereotypical farmhouse-pastoral getaway you might be thinking of. The Auvergne is rural, to be sure, but its countryside is one of valleys, lakes, and volcanic mountains, a more wild experience than the gentle farmlands of the South.
High on a hilltop above the Allier river stands an old abbey at the center of a ruined village; the abbey today forms the hotel's central building, and the rooms are scattered throughout the village's handful of restored stone houses. The look is antique, naturally, but the experience is certainly up to contemporary standards: many rooms come with four-poster beds and soaking tubs, and some have private terraces or gardens.
More than most French country getaways, this is an escape — it's quiet up here, and there's little but the landscape to keep guests entertained. Les Deux Abbesses offers massage and reflexology treatments, a rarity indeed for a place like this, and the hotel's restaurant serves lunch and dinner in a small, elegant dining room. Farther afield there are ancient feudal sights to see, and this part of France is heaven for outdoor types — there's no shame, however, in making like the abbesses themselves, and just cloistering yourself in.
How to get there:
Les Deux Abbesses is approximately a 1 1/4 hour drive from Clermont Aulnat Airport, 5 1/2 hours from Paris and 4 hours from Marseille.

Closed November through February.

One of the finest Hotel's we have ever stayed in. From the owner, who was so gracious and accomodating to the food and location, a fabulous experience.
What the hotel could do better
Not one thing.
These reviews are posted exclusively by verified guests whose stays were booked through TabletHotels.com. We do encourage our clients to express their opinions, and what makes a hotel experience great is often something subjective, a matter of personal taste. At the same time, many of the hotels we list are extreme in one dimension or another, and are bound to disappoint somebody somewhere. These reviews are an excellent way to identify a hotel's particular quirks, and thereby avoid a poor hotel-guest match. But remember: if a hotel's overall customer rating falls lower than 15 out of 20, the hotel will be removed from our listings.
The opinions expressed in these reviews are solely those of our clients; the opinions expressed in any hotel management responses are solely those of the hotels themselves. We do not endorse any of the opinions expressed within the reviews, and we are not affiliated with any of the hotels in question. We reserve the right to remove any of the review or management response at our discretion.
