Manoir de Lébioles

Very nice location, good spa, dog friendly, exceptional good food. For the price the rooms could have better interior design and staff was overwhelmed with service, orders and accounting

My mom booked this hotel as a gift for my 30th birthday, and I can’t tell her just how disappointed I was, so I’m gonna write it here and hopefully help others avoid this place. Pros: - beautiful environment in the forest - hotel looks very nice from the outside - in the evening a receptionist brings you a little chocolate and says good night Cons: - the ratio of price and value is crazily out of balance. For 500€ a night in 5 star hotel you would expect something completely different. And the fact that whatever you want - from minibar to breakfast, is charged extra is wild to me at this price point. - bedrooms don’t look like at the picture at all. They are pretty ugly, all the furniture looks super cheap and just worn out. TV doesn’t work properly and the water in the bathrooms changes temperature all the time. Not even gonna mention the weird glass see-through toilet that lets your partner watch you sit on the toilet while they shower. - cleanliness and hygiene were terms unknown to the staff. From dirty bedsheets, dirt towels to general not very clean facilities - kinda gross. When we raised the issue of the bedsheets with the staff, they just responded with “uh ok” - facilities in terrible condition - we used the tennis court, first we had to wait an hour for a gardener to clean it as it was super messy and clearly not being up-kept, with a little trail that led to it which was literally falling apart. We borrowed tennis balls from the hotel, a pack of 8, which only had 5 balls, out of which 3 were broken. - the spa deserves its own feedback. It wasn’t all that bad, except the fact there was no one working there so if you had any question or needdd anything there was no one to ask. Pool was freezing cold, foot bath was broken and leaked water all around, no seats had cushions on them, they were all thrown on a pile in the corner, some of which were pretty dirty. - my biggest point is a general lack of information about anything. Reception doesn’t tell you anything and there is no written piece of information in the room either. What time is check-in and check-out? What time does the spa and restaurant close? What time is breakfast? Guess. And good luck trying to get attention of the receptionist which is also the bartender, waiter and bus boy at times. Oh and lemme just save you false expectations of doing anything in the evening since both the restaurant and spa close at 8. This was great surprise to us the first day when we arrived at 19:45 just to leave right away just to get anything to eat. Also if you have any dietary restrictions better bring your own food. At breakfast, which cost ungodly 29 euros per person, there is already a preset menu of items at your table. No veggies, just a bit of bread and cheese. If you want anything else you pay extra. I asked for gluten free bread, which got them startled and I was told to wait half an hour for the bread to arrive. There is more but I guess these were the main points, enough to ruin a weekend I was really looking forward to. Very shameful, I will for sure never return here. This place is a glowing example of the fact that money can’t buy class and all the rich people in the reviews who claim otherwise suffer from serious case of delulu.

Overall a good experience, the spa was incredibly well equipped despite not being large. The common area is very comfortable. The only bad point is that the bed was rather uncomfortable and we woke up with some back pain, especially the second day, since you kind of dive into the bed. Either the mattress was too soft or it was already a bit old, I would go for the second.

A perfect location and an old building, in the middle of the forest. Spa facilities are ok, but the breakfast and other food/beverage things are under my expectation even with high prices, comparing to "equal" premises world wide. Then it was ok, but I do not go twice...

We have been coming to this place for several years now and it's truly a magical hideaway. The manoir and its surroundings are picture perfect. A setback to this secluded location is that there is virtually nothing at decent walking distance you can do, and to get there and away you will probably need a car. The interior does feel a bit outdated in some corners, but this may be part of its charm, and you can see they are carefully updating bits and pieces. The spa area is nice and relaxing. Staff has always been polite and friendly. The high-priced restaurant is excellent and innovative, only when it comes to vegetarian food options still stuck in the past. There are basically no vegetarian main courses and we had to explain repeatedly that vegetarian food excludes fish as well. They did however by specific request create vegetarian options and these were great. Cow milk alternatives (currently being only soy milk) for coffee could be stepped up as well. Finally, they changed their buffet-style breakfast to a more modest individual serving (which you do not select however). It's still of high quality but you clearly get less for the money and it felt like we were asking for a lot when we are asking for some more cheese and bread (we got the same amount for three people as two people at other tables initially). Overall, however, we love the experience and will come back for sure. We are excited to see what the manoir will do in the future to keep up with modern times while preserving its rustic charm.

We celebrated our engagement here and were very disappointed with almost everything in this complex. But I'll start with the positives: the beautiful area around the hotel and the hotel . Big pool where you can relax and swim. The rooms are not big but clean. Cons: all the dishes of the restaurant were just disgusting and we left hungry. the dishes were made from good products that are easy to prepare and difficult to spoil, but the chef succeeded in that ! this is the worst restaurant in my life !! and I have a great experience in that . Moreover, the prices in the restaurant are high. When we ordered a bottle of wine they brought us an open bottle. And when we asked to bring a new closed bottle, the waiter started arguing with us, but then he still brought another bottle. the next day we were signed up for a couples Relax massage of the whole body and were 10 minutes late for it. the masseurs started to work, the massage was done badly and lazily, when we just started to relax (after 15 minutes) they stopped and said that the massage was over. we were shocked and they explained it by the fact that we came later. after everything that happened in this complex, we were speechless! They ruined our engagement and I would not recommend this place to anyone unless you want to be upset and disappointed with absolutely everything! A shame!!!

I don't know if they have enough employees or if the whole team was on vacation, but when we arrived there was only one girl in the hotel who covered the reception and the bar too. The next day, again only one employee at the reception. The breakfast is quite bad, at the level of a 3-star hotel. It costs 25e(!) but if you want eggs benedict, for example, you have to pay extra. The only thing that is special here is the castle, it's very beautiful, but everything else is far from 5 stars hotel.

So you have to separate between the hotel, the Spa and the Restaurant. I will try to give you an overview of each. Hotel The hotel did not the best job at the arrival. Rooms were not ready, ok can Happen, but the Person that greeted us Was a little bit helpless in that Situation. We had to put our baggage in the floor infront of our room - not in the room not in a separate room for baggage. Then we were placed in the Spa. Later when we could enter the room it was cold, all heater disabled. You dont need to put them on 5 but on 0 in the Winter is a bit thoughless. Spa The Spa has a Sauna, steam bath and a Pool. Which you can only use with clothes. Its a bit uncomfortable with wet bathing clothes to chill After the sauna. The tempature in the chill area was not really cold but 2-3 degress warmer would be nice. Pool has only cold water. Restaurant Really good food and Service. Like most really good Restaurants with more courses - you need to eat and order bread. Otherwise you will not get fed up. It can be a bit anyoing, that you always have to ask for new bread and butter but its ok. Nicer would be if they would bring new round of bread and butter by themself. They have Gluten free bread btw. The wine with the courses was really good.

Great ambiance. The food is from excellent quality. The presentaties of the food is from outstanding quality. Never seen better. The service good be better. No wine by glass or tasting package that matches the dishes. Very expensive. That makes my review a 4 out of 5. Not the best price/quality.
