Hotel Edward1er

Isabel and her team are marvelous! I cannot recommend it more. This is the quintessential family owned and operated hotel and restaurant. The bastide town of Monpazier is like stepping back to the 14th century. It’s a beautiful time capsule of a place.

Quintessential beautiful French chateau style hotel in its own grounds with gardens and adjoining charming kidney shape private swimming pool with ample relaxers. White towels are provided by reception. Positioned a few minutes walk from the 13th C historical market square, Montpazier is one of the finest examples of a ‘ bastide’ created during the 100 years war by King Edward I. We received a warm welcome on arrival. The hotel is full of character, tastefully decorated and furnished. The bedrooms were on three floors via a spiral wooden staircase but no lift. However later I noticed there were bedrooms on the ground floor. We did have help with our luggage to our room on the third floor but be careful to watch your footing on the stairs as they are quite tight in turns. Our room was comfortably furnished with on-suite bathroom but not a separate shower which I would have preferred instead of crouching in the bath using a mixer attachment, there was no screen or curtain. I didn’t request a shower but I would if I stayed again. However the huge bed was very comfortable and we had a great nights sleep. Plenty of storage and hanging space for clothes and seating with antique furnishings. Breakfast was continental style with a fabulous choice from 8am, my favourite was toasted brioche with fresh scrambled egg. We were unable to find an English news channel on our tv but that was resolved. Overall we would recommend this hotel.
