The attractive, although isolated location, does not alter the fact that you cannot take your car (and you definitely need a car) anywhere near your room, the reception, dining room or swimming pool, but are forced to leave it in a tiny and wholly inadequate car park with insufficient spaces for the cars. From this tightly packed car park you... More

When was the last time you heard total silence? This magical spot on a green mountain top will remind you of lifes true pleasures. If you are looking to get away from it all, this is the spot. Suites are beautiful, food is excellent and service discreet. We loved buzzing around the site in our golf cart. Plan on eating... More

Ostape deserves all the raving reviews it can get, and I feel sorry that I got to write this only three months after our wonderful stay in Ostape in July 2012. Many things have been written about the location and the magical views and the tranquility of the place, I will not repeat those, they are all true. I remember... More

After arriving at Ostape, we are given our golf buggy, our new mode of transport for getting from our "room" to the main house for breakfast and dinner. Our room is more of a mini house, with sitting room, hallway, large bedroom and bathroom and our own terrace. The room was lovely and the only fault being the dodgy electricity... More

Our junior suite was lovely and extremely spacious with two floors. It had a bath and hand held shower. The grounds of the hotel were beautiful. The room rate matched similar tariffs for our stay in Spain/France so it was good value in this category. Breakfast at 22 Euros is a good deal more expensive than other similar hotels. There... More

This is a very expensive hotel and worth it. They have thought through every detail and appear to have got it right. We knew that we wanted to stay on site for the three days of our stay, and I'm glad that we did, as the ten minute road journey to Bidarray in the valley below was quite tortuous. The... More

After a stay in October 2009, I booked the entire hotel for a 2010 Tour de France trip. Where to begin? Ostape is a little hard to find tucked into a beautiful mountain valley just a short distance from the border with Spain. But it is well worth the effort. It's not a traditional hotel but rather a collection of... More

Wonderful in all respects - food, accommodation, location, ambience, silence. If you can afford it, go.

Amazing place with stunning setting.Drive down tiny road and the estate doesn't disappoint with beautiful villas spaced on hills around the grounds and surrounding this is a lush rolling countryside. The villas are bright and spacious and with the distances between other buildings they feel really private.the is excellent as expected in this Alain Ducasse affiliated hotel. Booked on short...

We stayed at this hotel for four nights and each morning I had little red bites on my face, arms and legs. Having never seen or been bitten by a bedbug, I don't know what had caused these bites. Neither did the receptionist, who claimed not to know what they were. On the last morning, we saw a small bug... More
