Moulin de Vigonac

We were disappointed with our stay having read all the amazing reviews. There were some good points eg the warm welcome, beautiful setting and lovely swimming pool but the decor of our room was tired and dated. There was a strong smell of damp on arrival caused by an ageing and inefficient shower mat. The room was gloomy and the bed linen and bathrobes were worn. It was hard to keep the bathroom floor dry. The whole experience was uncomfortable and we felt that the room was overpriced compared to other places we stayed. The breakfast was also overpriced and lacked quality and variety.

We last stayed here 8 years ago and had an great experience and we were pleased to find the quality of the hotel and hospitality remains excellent. It is still run by the same family give you a great welcome and look after you throughout the stay. Rooms well appointed and spotless clean. Breakfast is good served to the table with fruit and yogurt to start, a morning pancake, eggs of your choice and plenty of croissants and fresh bread. Evening meals are carefully prepared with local produce, well presented, tasty and to the standard of a top class restaurant. Oliver and his parents, chef and restaurant manageress clearly know how to provide first class hospitality.

Wonderful family run hotel. Oliver the son and his mother welcome us when we arrived, escort us to the great room and waited us for dinner. Room was lovely spacious and clean. Dinner was served in the restaurant and we found that the mother and Oliver friend serving us a great 3 course dinner. When we asked who is the chef we were told its the father. So as described, a wonderful small hotel, well recommended

This hotel was a delight. The reception by the owner and his mother was effusive and informative. Our room beside the lovely pool was luxury with outside seating, table and loungers and an inside sitting room too. Dinner on the terrace was superb and the service impeccable but relaxing. Breakfast did not disappoint either and my wife received a lovely bag as a gift from Madame on our departure. Such a memorable and enjoyable stay. Loved being pampered.

Idyllic, romantic, extremely comfortable inn with fantastic food. We wish we could have stayed longer than the one night though I’m not sure I would fit into my jeans any longer if we had, come really hungry is my advice. We ate very little during the day and still could not finish the dessert. The chef, his wife and their son were so gracious and kind. I speak some French (conversational) but my husband speaks only English and it was not a problem for him at all. A really lovely place, very peaceful too.

In brief: The hosts 5*. A lovely lady and her son who were very welcoming. Location 5*. Situated by streams with large garden (mainly grass). Very quiet - no road noise. Easy ramble into town. We took the route described by the owner but it took a looong time! (About 30 mins ) Maybe we took a wrong turn. Amenities 3*. Small outdoor pool which was like the Baltic, plenty of sun beds. NO BAR ! NO KETTLE! Quelle catastrophe! I’d read a review which said that room service could provide drinks but there is no mention of room service in the info provided in the room. Rooms 3* Mixed feelings on this one. Room was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated BUT separate loo had no hand basin and bathroom was tired. Shower was one of those that you have to run about in to get wet. Water pressure kept dropping and so it went from cold to hot and back again. Hairdryer was one of those attached to wall with a flexible hose - it was pretty feeble. There is a small fridge containing water/soft drinks which you can buy. This property is meant to be 4-5* and isnt cheap so I do feel that water which is ‘gratuit’ would be a nice touch. especially since there isn’t a bar! The air con 5* plus ! Clearly new and top notch ! Suitability for kids 2*. Because of the streams young children would need to be supervisedin the garden. This hotel attracts lots of oldies who are there on repeat visits . Food 5* Amazing breakfasts. Evening meals very good but vegetarianism comes at a cost. 28€ for an avocado salad entrée is a tad overpriced . Evening meal served on outdoor terrace which was so cold that we all had to sit in our coats !

Best of the best Great location on the small river With water sound and view Highest quality of the detailed room The dinner we had was fantastic quality. Michelin star with large portions great taste. Same was breakfast The welcome and service were impeccable Tusks to Gizell and Olivier

A beautiful boutique hotel. A spacious room, with thoughtful design. A very peaceful hotel, with the water wheel creating a calming noise. Pool was wonderful. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The Hotel Moulin de Vigonac is a beautiful detail oriented family run hotel. The setting on the stream of rushing water was relaxing and therapeutic. Highly recommended!
