Le Ballon Rouge Reviews
“This last stay was the second time we have been to this Bed and Breakfast. The location is very good, close to the centre of town and far enough to have a quiet nights sleep. The staff are always helpful and rooms very clean. Breakfast is of a very high standard and servings are the prefect size. We will stay there again if in the region.” –206veronicah
“Really enjoyable stay. Warm welcome. Secure parking. Perfect location . Charming property, even more attractive than on internet. Loved decor & hidden terraces & courtyard for breakfast outdoors. Would not hesitate to recommend it.” –Scot60
“My personal opinion is that this guesthouse is managed so well It almost runs itself! There are no annoying telephones in the rooms but good televisions for sport. The library and decor is attractive. There is plenty of information about the area. The breakfast is individually cooked so you never have warmed up toast! Coffee is in individual caffetieres and the omelettes really good. We met people from Scandinavia and chatted round the splash pool in a charming cottage garden overflowing with bougainvillea. The aircon was very effective and the personal touches showed that the owners had tried very hard to create a homely atmosphere rather than a soulless pristine take it or leave it place to spend the night. Will definitely revisit. So convenient to good restaurants for dinner and private parking.” –Beetle1942
