We went to Hotel Le Val Du Tech for four things: a restful five nights in fresh, mountain air; the chance to hike; to be close to the hot spring of Preste (less than a block away) and to control our vacation budget. We got more than we planned. At night, we were delighted to have the sound of a stream while we slept; peaceful. The hiking trails are very close to the hotel and include access to springs. We even saw the goat herder and cheese maker bringing his herd back to the farm while we were hiking. The room is commensurate with the price of the hotel; simple and clean with a functional, clean bathroom. Why "excellent" ? 1) extremely charming owner, her family and staff (speaking French and English); 2) (individualized service for all; 3) a micro brewery on site (craft beer); a bar with reasonably priced breakfast, cold plates, and beverages; 4) 15 minutes from a medieval village that has good food and some traditional French shops; a fort, and medieval architecture. A great time!
