Martel is a quaint bastide town that has probably not changed much in hundreds of years and well worth a detour. Set in one of its quiet streets behind a high wall and portal is the Relais Sainte-Anne. This family-run hotel is one of the most perfect settings for a comfortable stop and it is one of those places one... More

This is a great family owned and operated inn and restaurant in a great little medieval village surrounded by other great little villages also worth visiting. Grounds are beautiful, quiet and very well cared for. . . . As Americans living in France part-time, we have traveled France for 10 years and this is one of the best places we... More

Having travelled around France on a number of occasions we always feel 'pulled back' to Relais Sainte-Anne. This year was our fourth visit but sadly we only stayed 3 nights and as soon as we moved on we were wishing we had stayed much longer. A little piece of heaven - that is the best way to describe this lovely... More

We stayed one night here on a return journey through France from Spain. Beautiful old building in lovely grounds in a quiet road just on the edge of Martel.

The grounds are substantial with a lovely pool, and there is plenty of parking despite the hotel being almost in the centre of the village and close to... More

Stayed here for just three days whilst visiting friends in Martel and loved the gentle ambience and style of this hotel. The proprietor and staff were very friendly and efficient. The rooms were of a very high standard, both spacious and well furnished. The hotel has a charming lounge/bar and the breakfast room has quaint furnishings and a lovely terrace.... More

We spent 7 nights in September at this lovely little hotel. We had the Junior Suite just above the reception room, and it was just wonderful. It had a very nice bedroom and a separate sitting room, en-suite bright bathroom (two sinks) and separate WC. The bedroom had shutters looking out the lane near the Hotel, and the sitting room... More
