Abbaye de Maizières

A heritage jewel in town, with amazingly kind hosts, a place we will go back to, without hesitation, thanks for the very enjoyable stay!

Ancienne abbaye restaurée et transformée en hôtel, charme assuré. Chambres petites et encoquées mais c'est la réalité des chambres des anciens habitants. Salle de restaurant et bar à demi sous sol, très bien décorés, vous plongeant dans l'ambiance. Prix élevés par contre.

The hotel is lovely. The staff are pleasant and helpful. The reception area is nicely decorated as are the rooms. However one thing you should be aware of is that there is no lift and rooms are accessed by a stone spiral staircase. Our room was on the third floor and this meant a total of 72 steps from the reception area. We had a deluxe room which I think is the basic level. On the lower level there was a shower room with toilet, round wash hand basin, and a walk in shower. Kind of like a wet room as there isn’t actually a shower cubicle. Also on the lower level there was also a large cupboard, two chairs, a coffee machine and a minibar. There was also a kettle and some cups and teabags. The upper level had a double bed, a chair, a tv and some bedside tables. The room was in the eaves of the building so a few low beams. Access to the upper level was via a very steep staircase with narrow treads. It felt more like climbing a ladder. The rate we paid included breakfast which was very pleasant. Croissants, pain au chocolat, bread, fruit, cake, cereal, omelette, scrambled egg etc. It’s served in a room with a vaulted ceiling. The room was very dark and the table had a candelabra with three lit candles. (When I went to get jam I did consider taking the candelabra with me) We were there with some friends and one of our group said that it’s the nicest hotel that she has ever stayed it. It’s very quirky and lots of exposed stone. I think I would stay there again but maybe just one night and also it’s not for everyone. Anyone with full sized suitcases would have issues with the stairs and anyone with even minor mobility issues might struggle.
