Driving very narrow roads to hotel not easily found, no obvious signage. . Parking on street, public car park near very small and always full. Owner not obtainable by phone.

Very old and quirky

Limited check in period. We sat around until 5pm whereas we could have checked in when we arrived in Le Puy 3hrs earlier. Difficult parking - bollards preventing access before 2pm. Pure luck if a parking position can be found within easy access to the hotel.

Large, well presented room. Historical building beautifully refurbished.

There is absolutely nothing I did not like. Staying at the Demeure was more of a transcendent experience than simply a place to spend the night and have breakfast.

This is an exceptional residence. This is an ancient hotel that has been renovated and decorated to be perfectly comfortable. The host is probably the most thoughtful and kind host I have ever encountered in my many decades of travel.

Quite difficult to find, the photo shows a rear view. A photo of the front entrance with the name would have been helpful.

Historic location, very close to the magnificent Cathedral, very atmospheric location.

We only stayed the night but will return for a longer stay as soon as we are able.

Wow, what an utterly cool place! Huge room with lounge space. Incredible history to the building. The location is fantastic, almost next door to the cathedral. It is a little difficult to find, if you are driving, but the Host went way out of his way to guide me and it really is managable - this is an ancient cobblestone street hillside town with quite narrow streets but I was able to fit a Tesla Model Y where it needed to go and so almost any sensible rental car would manage fine.

Happy with everything.

Location in historic centre not easy to find but the helpful owner sent us an explanation. Very quirky old tower house. Excellent all round.

It was quite difficult to find. You need better instructions for finding it by car

This hotel was exceptional. It was 500 years old with lovely original furnishings and decor

He said we could the key forever but still wanted it back :-) :-)

It is just Amazing it was so special and hard to describe. We will come back for sure it is the best place to stay in Le puy.

It's a magical place anchored in both the past and the present. Everything is beautiful and powerful. The owners are lovely. Congratulations to them for all their hard work to keep the place affordable to most. A jewel to not miss!

An intriguing step back in time into a fabulously historical building with modern twist - in facilities and art. Highly engaging host, recognised real royalty!! Ideally situated for key areas of Le Puy.

Very friendly welcome from the owner. Fascinating building with so much history. Beautiful spacious room. Breakfast was kept fairly simple with pastries, bread and preserves, yoghurt, fruit juice, tea and coffee - this was perfect for us though!

Nothing! Maybe a mini-bar/fridge would have been handy?

An absolute gem. Pierre welcomes you warmly into his extraordinary place. Soulful, steeped in history and oozing with character, it is beautifully appointed. Beds are hugely comfortable, great restaurants are just a few steps down the cobbled street (but book early!) and Puy-en-Velay is a magical destination.

Divine garden and lovely breakfasts in great setting. Madame was very friendly and helpful

This property is very unique and you won’t find anything else like it.

It’s a fantastic place. Like living in a castle. The owner is very helpful. And the old town around is sow special.

Stayed in August 2023

Parking an issue but that’s normal for an ancient, 1300-1400’s neighborhood!

Very old and historic. Decor is eclectic and well done. Definitely an artist touch of sorts.

Unique. Centrally located. Comfortable.

Not a dislike but beware of the narrow streets and one way systems in the old town. Low profile cars - be careful! Not a complaint and it goes with the territory of the town but you need your wits about you! The host however gives good directions and ample parking choices.

The host Pierre was very charming and helpful. The property has been in his family for generations and the decor and history of the house adds to the overall experience of being in the ancient town of Le Puy en Velay. Not often you can get the chance to stay in such a property. The town itself is fabulous, check out Notre Dame Cathedral, St Michel on the Mount Chapel, the renovated statue of Virgin Mary - even if you are not religious, the history and views are very interesting - and much better than Troyes in every way, our next destination. The breakfast was in a beautiful room in the lower part of the building, with lots of artworks etc. Very relaxing. This is an ancient property, with decor and furnishings to compliment but has wifi, Netflix etc should you want - but go outside!!!
