B&B Les Tilleuls

Once you have the chance to stay in a near to perfect place, the real differences often come with the details. First of all, each of the 5 rooms has its own atmosphere and charm. We stayed in the Katana on the 2d floor. As soon as you enter the room, relatively small but very well appointed, you see the name has nothing to do with the samuraï but with african large wooden masks. And you'll find two of them on the wall. It's the only room with an african theme but it makes sense as Marie and Pierre spend years in Africa, from Pemba off the coast of Tanzania to a farm in South Africa. The room and bathroom are more than just cosy and comfortable but what makes the difference (once again) is the use of light and the "sound system" in the ceiling, what a nice way indeed to listen to a favourite online radio station like Radio Paradise by just plugging your phone or iPad. The breakfast (with eggs on demand with a crispy bacon if you wish) is served on a long wooden table and there again, details are making the difference. The (mostly local) cheeses are coming from the bio shop of the Ferme Lamberty in Petit-Thier and the "charcuterie" (or delicatessen) are from the local market. On top of it, a Nespresso machine is offering a excellent coffee. At night, in autumn or winter, you can chill by the open fire with a local beer (the Vieille Salm) after a stop at the little sauna on the first floor. Excellent !
