Château d'Ortaffa

We had a lovely 3 days at Chateau d'Ortaffa. Our room - Toscane - was enormous and beautifully decorated with a separate sitting room and extra bed for our son. Large windows allowed lots of light and a view onto the church tower. The hosts Alain and Michelle and gracious and generous in their time and information, for beaches and restaurants. Breakfasts were lovely - homemade jams and yoghurt and a lovely view from the terrace. A really lovely 3 days in a beautiful house.

We stayed 4 days at this lovely chateau, which has something of interest round every corner. The interest in art is plain to see. Alain and Michelle will help you with whatever you need. These kind people make you most welcome. Lovely rooms with air conditioning, great breakfasts with homemade yogurt and jams and the local fruit. It was a pleasure.

Can only endorse the comments made by the previous reviewer. Alain and Michelle were excellent hosts during our five day stay in this beautiful part of France and we had beautiful clear weather for most of our stay.We stayed in Picasso and it was very comfortable. The Chateau provided a great base for explorations. Alain helped plan our journeys and gave us very good recommendations on restaurants. A misty day prevented us seeing the two best Cathar castles. We’ll have to return.

As soon as we stepped into Chateau d’Ortaffa we knew we would be treated to a memorable stay. From awe-inspiring antiques and artwork, to spacious and comfortable suites and generous hosts who go above and beyond to ensure you are enjoying yourselves, you really can’t ask for a better B&B experience. Merci Alain and Michelle for being so welcoming and attentive and sharing your local tips of this incredibly picturesque and tranquil part of France - including the best local markets and hidden swimming coves where the fish swim between your legs - exhilarating!

The building is a stone, very arty Chateau with fascinating quirky rooms. Accommodation was excellent with great views of the countryside. Breakfasts were superb with lots of fresh fruit and home made jams. Michelle and Alain are lovely people and were extremely helpful with our queries and problems including our poor French. People with mobility issues may find the stone stairways difficult.
