How would you describe Hotel Auberge des Montauds in Villard de Lans? Well, firstly it is not a hotel in the true sense of the word. The restaurant or more correctly, the dining room is only open Wednesday to Sunday. It is a family run business (The owner said that he was born in the house and he was in his late 50’s). I would say that it is a B&B and a very nice one at that. Do not expect Hilton-style hotel service…in fact don't expect too much at all. The breakfast provided is pretty much “do it yourself” with the usual fare of cereals, teas, toast, breads and fruit. The plus is that they provide home-made Jams which are delicious!||||The rooms are small and very basic and rustic in décor. The bed, whilst not a designer bed, is comfortable. The bathroom is divided into 2 sections. Firstly the basin an mirror then the second has a toilet and a quite large shower recess. The shower is good and water very hot. The room and bathroom are very clean.||||Auberge des Montauds is set in rural surroundings about 4 kms from the centre of the village. It is extremely quiet and relaxing. I could only imagine that sitting outside in warm sunshine in summer drinking a wine or beer would be lovely. The dining room has a fireplace and would keep the area warm through wintery weather. Each room has adequate heaters and I found I didn't have to wear a coat or jacket inside.||||Overall, NOT a star-rated hotel but a very nice B&B well worth a stay…I would recommend a romantic, quiet weekend here...

Read moreMy family and I stayed twice at the Auberge des Montauds, once last summer and once this winter. It is a great place if you enjoy nature (there are hiking trails starting from the hotel), and want to have a peaceful vacation. In summer our kids played on a big lawn while we were enjoying our meals on the terrasse. The food is great and plentiful. This winter, we enjoyed the beautiful surrounding landscape, and the cross-country conviniently located nearby. The hotel is small (a dozen of rooms) and very nicely decorated. We did enjoy the friendly welcome from the owners and the warm atmosphere... we will...
