Tour de la Fournache

Emplacement impeccable Logement top.👌tout ce qu'il faut pour être bien.

La propreté de l'établissement et son emplacement.

Lovely apartment, really good value for money. I’d particularly like to highlight the very large and very comfortable bed and the exceptional cleanliness. I think it’s fairly new, having been recently refurbished. The kitchen is shared, but it's clean and well equipped as well.

It was very hot in the room. It's impossible to sleep with the windows closed, and there’s traffic outside – the cars are particularly noisy because of the sharp bends and the uphill stretch. There’s no WiFi, and mobile phone reception is poor. There’s no blind on the bathroom window. It’s a bit odd, especially as there’s a sort of lay-by directly opposite where various cars would stop for a moment from time to time.

Der liebevoll und schön restaurierte Turm; die Lage für tolle Radtouren

Die Lage an einer viel befahrenen Straße mit starkem Auto und Motorradlärm; die zu warme Daunendecke für den Sommer; dass es im Turm sehr heiß war;

The Tower intrigued me for a place for a one-night stay. Location is further away up the hill from the next town, but everything can still be reached on foot. Room is fairly big and provides a desk with two additional and comfortable armchairs. Kitchen on the ground floor offers a refrigerator, stove, cutlery and cooking utensils. Everything is sufficiently clean. There were enough Nespresso-Compatible capsules already provided to enjoy cup of coffee in the evening and also in the morning - big positive after a long day in the seat.

Although it seems freshly renovated, furnishing quality is sub-par. The holder for the shower head is loose, door frame for the shower cabin is not straight, so the door seal cannot bridge the gap correctly. Covers on the book shelves are crooked and loose. Attention in the summer: upon arrival, room temperature of 31°C (88°F). It is impossible to cool down due to thick walls. No A/C is available - the control element on the wall serves only as a thermometer. Cutlery and cooking utensils are absolutely subpar. It felt like mix-n-match out of college/universitys dorms... No sharp knifes, spoons and forks in different sizes. It was like a sum of all the things that were used and abused. Although there is a WLAN router clearly visible above the kitchen door, and the WLAN signal showing as strong at the second floor of the tower, there is no info about connecting to it. Upon request, the response was that there was no WLAN all together; that the thick walls do not allow the signal to pass. But the WLAN was there already... Even if just used on the ground floor in the kitchen, it would be great to have it to plan the route for the next day. One thing is correct: the thick walls do not let wireless signals easily through - even cell broadcast will be slow and will work better if you open the window and sit by it. Lack of WLAN is indeed a big negative here.
