We stayed at Les Vieilles Tours for five nights and had an absolutely wonderful time exploring the Lot region of France. Our first trip from the hotel was to Rocamadour...and Laurent, who runs the hotel with his wife, Cathy, gave us wonderful guidance about how to see this impressive sight with the most pleasure. What he also told us about was the popularity of this site...and having seen it, we were both glad we did and very, very glad that we did not stay in the town itself.
Laurent's advice about where and when to visit different towns and sights continued to be excellent and enormously useful.
Les Vieille Tours itself is located in a splendid area: quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. We stayed in the tour suite which I recommend fully...comfortable bed, modern bath, lovely sitting room where we had drinks with friends who traveled with us. Some of the other rooms, though comfortable, are not as luxurious, but I understand from Laurent that he is in the process of remodeling them.
The food each night was excellent; one of our friends was not a meat eater and Laurent arranged for some special meals.
Finally, there is a lovely swimming pool on site with a super-abundance of fresh, fluffy towels and a nearby shower.
All in all, a wonderful experience.
If you go, don't miss the town of Figeac and the Pech Merle cave.
