This is one of the most friendly and lovely hotels in the world. The hotel has a long history of the family and the new family member of the owner still keeps the tradition. It is very unique and original, which you can not find any other hotel.
The food is very good and the dinning room has a nice atmosphere.
It is very pleasant to have a breakfast in this room.

She is the lovely and charming owner and I will guarantee you the wonderful stay at this hotel.

This is a very nice hotel. The room was large, the bathroom was modern and very nice. Great room service. Family run. I had a car accident and had to stay in bed for a couple of weeks before I could travel. The staff was very helpful. They would go out of their way to help me out.

Tromperie sur tout ne vous laissez pas berner par ce restaurant ou l'hotel.
Le PDJ est trop cher par rapport aux produits proposés.

There is no elevator or escalator.
It is the old building, so please don’t expect to stay at the modern hotel.

That’s why the building of the hotel is very unique and original, which you cannot find anywhere in the world.

Rapport qualité /prix pas tres satisfaisant. Pas de personnel la nuit.
Repas et petit déjeuner chers.

If you are looking for a new modern room, you had better check in the other big hotels or just stay at your nice remodeled house.
But if you want have some beautiful experience, I am sure you will enjoy staying here like I do.

But there are special character and atmosphere in this hotel.
I strongly recommend staying at this hotel, if you are looking for a special artistic flavor.

L'accueil est tellement agréable et chaleureux qu'on en oublie la décoration désuète de l'hôtel et des chambres. Le restaurant est vraiment excellent, c'est une grande table (tarif haut de gamme). Le petit déjeuner est parfait. J'y retournerai.

Now, Naomi is the new owner of this hotel. She is the third generation.
She has been interested in the hotel business since her childhood, and after Mr. Ricaud passed away, she has been taking care of the hotel.

Cette hotel est plus un musée qu'un vrais hotel, si vous aimez la poussière et les vielle décoration, vous serez ravis! Pour 170€ j'ai été extrêmement déçu, pas d'eau chaude au robinet de la salle de bain, et un débit d'au au goutte a goutte! Pour couronnez le tout l'hôtel est fermé jusqu'à 7h le matin et impossible d'en sortir sans avoir prévenu la veille!!!
Je déconseille évidement!

At that time, Mr. Jean-Jacques Ricaud was the owner of the hotel.
He was the second generation, and he was the most generous, warm-hearted person.

When I stayed at this hotel first time, it was 1982.
Yes, it is 36 years ago.

Of course, he was one of the best French cuisine chefs in the world.
His father was the founder of this hotel and he remodeled the old historical building of Monastery in Digne, and changed into the hotel.
