Auberge de la Vallée

"I stayed here for two days/nights last week (7/28 and 29/2012) and loved the auberge and its owners, Ann Claire and Antoine. My room was small but nice with a very comfortable bed and clean throughout, with a spectacular view across the hills. The breakfast, which is included in the room cost, was delightful - fruit, good coffee, cakes baked there, and bread with Ann Claire's delicious preserves - my favorite of all was the rich apricot. In fact, the food here is wonderful!! I ate dinner - table d'hote - both nights, and loved both dishes (sweet and sour duck and rabbit casserole with beans from his garden) that Antoine cooked. The accompaniments were also lovely - local roquefort cheese that previously I didn't even like, but here... and homemade pate likewise. Generous local wine too! The desserts are also made here - I particularly relished the chicory cheesecake, an amazing confection. Special mention must be made of Ann Claire's bitter orange aperitif!! And the charming patio and general setting in a beautiful village. Highly recommended for the beauty, warmth of welcome, and interesting guests here. I can't wait to return."

"I stayed here with friends from a walking group. Village of St Felix is very pretty though doesn't have many amenities, but this was more than made up for by the auberge and its very kind, hospitable owners. The rooms are decorated in different styles and very clean and comfortable. Despite what the website implies they all have en suite toilets, though most toilets are separate to the bedroom. A little more storage space wouldn't go amiss but not a real complaint. Breakfast was simple but very tasty with excellent (and endless) cups of coffee. The home -made green tomato jam is lovely. The hosts are very friendly and helpful, and made us feel very welcome. Would recommend a trip to St Afrique and neighbouring villages."

"We stayed at Ann Claire and Antoine's lovely B&B for two nights, after having stayed in Provence for a week. They are wonderfully welcoming hosts, and the town of St Felix is small and lovely, in probably the prettiest area I've seen in France. It's a small and quiet town, but surrounded by the most lovely scenery, including a pretty creek with an ancient stone bridge. We opted for the meal both nights, and both were delicious. The rooms are small but very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!"

"We were made most welcome by the hosts Anne Claire and Antoine who made us feel very at home. We spent a very enjoyable evening with them, over Antoines delicious meal, discussing French cuisine and local regional dishes. We were passing through the area on an overnight trip from our home in the Lot region, and their beautiful Chambre d'Hote was just what we needed. Each room is decorated with a different theme, We stayed in the chambre 'Africain', but would have been just as comfortable in any of the others.||An excellent choice, value for money, comfortable and friendly.. what more can you ask for!"

"This B&B has nice rooms, pretty decoration, excellent home made food. Very quiet place.|We had a great time with the owners for dinner.|We recommend l'Ancienne Auberge for all those who like peaceful vacations and great sceneries. |A little stream pass close by, it is possible to swim in the fresh water."
