We have been traveling for 7 1/2 weeks in Europe this fall and the Clos de Grace was right at the top of the list of the places we have stayed. From the time we entered the gates (literally), the onsite managers, Sukou (I may have missed that spelling) and Luisa came out to the car to greet us and made us feel totally welcome from beginning to end.
The property itself is beautiful and has features far exceeding what you would normally expect in a small hotel of this size. Huge pool, steam room, exercise room, "quiet room" and the largest room we have had on this trip. The bathroom is very modern and beautiful and features separate shower and double sinks.
Breakfast was superb and served with elegance and panache. Food was great, with the highlight being one of those custard twists with mini chocolate chips -- YUMMY!
When we were leaving, the owners of the property introduced themselves and could not have been more cordial and friendly. If you happen to meet them, don't miss the Olympics rowing pictures in the exercise room. One of the team is the owner of the Clos de Grace.
After another wonderful breakfast we had a warm send off from Sukou and Luisa and were regretfully on our way, dreaming of when we can return to this fabulous spot.
Honestly, if you think you must be balanced, the only thing I would say is that I would like a larger bar of soap -- that's it!
