Hôtel de Panette — Hotel in Bourges

Ok, we love this bnb property (if it was not up to a standard of a hotel) and booked 1 night in their historical room and even had an upgrade from Le Marquis de Tristan to the biggest room Don Carlos, prince de Bourbon . Big bathroom with seperate showroom is newly renovated. Big bed and twin mattresses in spaceous room - do treat yourself in their historical rooms. They offer apartments too on their webpage. Yes, opening hours for check-in is a short time window from 4pm-7pm. Please plan ahead well. We are very careful reading their instruction and car parking video. French breakfast is good, no eggs though. Free street space parking is possible in a little square around 50 meter away from the property. We are given the keys to open the entrance door and our room so it is easy to go out for dinner and watch the outdoor light show at city hall after 9:30pm. Free bottle of water in room and tea/coffee at corridor. It is a lovely experience to stay here. Thank you and staff...

The entry gate dates from 1418 and the living quarters were rebuilt in the 18th century. Recently renovated, the decor is very authentic along with the present comforts of indoor plumbing, electric lights, wifi, and heating (we were there in November.) The continental breakfast was superb with freshly homemade cakes and jams prepared and served with pride in addition to the customary baguettes and croissants. The kitchen was open throughout the day should one want to re-visit the cakes, or opt for the healthier option of fresh fruit. November was cold and drizzly, but I enjoyed walking through medieval cobblestoned streets that were empty of tourists. It was even more dreamy when I was the only human being in the vast cathedral (the second largest in France after Paris' Notre Dame) and in the spectacular Jacques Coeur museum. It was delightful to return at the end of the day to my historic yet warm and cozy room at...

We stayed in this magnificently restored grand house on our journey down to Mallorca. We initially chose the hotel as they were willing to accommodate our two small dogs in the self catering accommodation off the courtyard. We were not disappointed. It was like going back in time. Our apartment was huge with a well equipped sitting room/small kitchen . The rooms had massive wooden beams throughout, also on the floor so be careful.All toasty warm in freezing December. We were late to arrive but staff waited up for us and were delightful and welcoming. We were also given some locally made chocolate which I have to say is about the most delicious chocolate I’ve ever tasted. Although we were just passing through, it was a wonderful stay made incredible by our cathedral visit and the wonderful magical (non-commercial) Christmas market. Do visit this charming historical accommodation and it’s charming staff. We...
