HÔTEL-SPA LE SAINT CIRQ

The hotel is beautiful and its staff are pleasant and accommodating. Our room was private and comfortable and we enjoyed a nice evening on the patio in view of the illuminated village among the Merlot grape vines. The room was impeccably clean and the bed comfortable. Breakfast was generous and delicious but a little chaotic with dozens of guests descending on the buffet all at once. In warmer weather, it would have been more peaceful to eat outside. Be sure to ask the front desk for some grain for the resident donkey and sheep in the back paddock.

This was the most relaxing hotel experience of my life. The location is fairy-tale gorgeous. We were here in late September, so we had a lot of privacy. Our room led out onto a patio directly in front of the vineyard, with a view of St-Cirq-Lapopie beyond. We could sit in the afternoons with our room door open and listen to the bells on the sheep in the nearby field or have a picnic on our patio. The hotel is tucked up on a hill and feels like its own little village. The spa was spectacular and the service accommodating. The shuttle to the village was very convenient as well. Do yourself a favor if you are coming to this part of France and stay here!

We normally don't have neither time nor patience (mainly patience) to write reviews, but this place deserves our 6 stars worth of praise! First of all you can easily and conveniently get to the hotel from the Gare de Cahors (train station) by taking a bus going to Figeac (about 30min. ride) making sure to get off at Saint-Cirq bus stop which is literally 2min walk from the Hotel! By mistake we did get off at Tour-de-Faure instead, and ended up having to walk for about 20min along a rural road (beautiful scenery, but not a good idea if you carrying a big suitcase), until a vey nice compassionate driver (who happened to go to the same hotel), decided to stop and give us a lift. We didn't realise until we got to the hotel, that this very nice chatty man was indeed the owner of the hotel - Eric ;)) We stayed in an apartment which not only offered a beautiful view of the village, but also came with fully equipped kitchen (and even, my favourite - a proper Nespresso coffee ☕️ machine at no extra cost!!!), spacious living room, outside terrace and comfortable outdoor chaise longues. Room was very well maintained and full of lovely fresh flowery fragrance! Staff was very helpful and nothing was even a problem for them. There is also a beautiful SUPERBLY maintained spa which offers a great choice of relaxing treatments, much loved sauna and steam room, and a pool with mountain view one can only wish for! To summarise it all, whether you are into hiking, cycling, swimming, discovering new gastronomic pleasures or wine tasting, cite seeing, relaxing in a spa or looking for an unforgettable romantic getaway - this place is perfect for it all! With choice of stunning hotel accommodations, bikes to hire, beautiful nature, amazing pool with a gorgeous view of the mountain's village (that dates back to 13th century), and of course hospitality second to none - this place is sure to make your trip unforgettable! We cannot recommend this hotel enough! But to say we have already booked our next stay at this place and now counting down the days till we return, but this time for longer! Lilly & Johnpaul

This hotel operates more like a B&B than a hotel, which is fine if you aren't looking for much in the way of facilities. There wasn't much in the way of things to do in the evening, and nothing to do in the room. It was a shame, as we had to eat out, but the hotel is in the back of beyond, so fairly difficult to find a local eaterie. The hotel is set in nice surroundings, but facilities-wise it doesn't rate highly, apart from having a pool. You need a car to get to it. The bar was closed, which was also a pity. You would need a mosquito repellant in the summer, as some rooms open straight onto the outside.

We stayed at this hotel in August, which would normally be a busy time, I would have thought. However, the bar closed early evening and we could not get a drink or anything to eat at the place. The room itself has no facilities beyond a bed, toilet and shower. Water splashed all over the bathroom floor as the suite is designed for looks rather than functionality. There is no TV in the room and no tea making facilities. The room is not functional nor comfortable, with a heavy wrought iron chair as the only seat. The room had a fairly weak air conditioner. The hotel offers breakfast, but does not offer a restaurant for an evening meal, so you are pretty much stuck unless you can drive. There is parking on site. There is a local pizzeria (L’Oilo), which the hotel staff told us we could walk to, but the walk is down a steep embankment, and one which we were not willing to risk. The hotel is itself is in a very difficult to find location, and “back of beyond” springs to mind. There is nothing nearby, so you must go prepared. For the location, accessibility and facilities, I would say it is overpriced.
