“A beautiful place with gracious hosts near a lovely village”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW

Laure and Charles are two of the most welcoming hosts that we encountered on our recent drive through Southwest France. In 4 short years they have transformed La Forge into a premier B & B with comfortable well appointed rooms and beautiful grounds. Upon request Charles will provide an evening meal from local, fresh ingredients. In fact, some of the... More

We enjoyed our stay so much, we are already conspiring our return. Charles, Laure and adorable Seyna make for gracious/charming hosts. Their... More

“A magical place”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

The Forge is a wonderful, magical place. The owners have done an amazing job with the gardens and the rooms and bathrooms are very comfortable. The food is handmade and very delicious. And the owners made us feel very welcoming.

“A magic place!”

Reviewed 13 April 2013

We stayed for five days at the forge to enjoy what the quiet and remote place promised. And we have not been disappointed... quite the opposite! What a magic place this is can not really be expressed, it has to be experienced. Watch out for lovely little details everywhere! In addition to the place itself, to the wonderful garden and... More

I guess it's time for me to post my first review on Tripadvisor. Normally I promise myself that I need to do it but then other things comes up and I forget. I would consider myself an avid traveler, both in business as for leisure. After staying at La Forge I'm so proud to have found such a wonderful place... More

“Excelent”

Reviewed 31 August 2012

I stayed at La Forge de Montolieu for 10 days. The location of the establishment is a short walk from the Montolieu village, the surrounding woods and river add to the quiet, peaceful and relaxing experience. The owners, Charles and Loare, are friendly hosts that helped me feel at home right from the start. There is one special thing I... More

Thanks so much for your comments - we were pleased to have you for such a long time at the Forge! Furthermore, thanks for the comments regarding the food! It was fun to cook for a vegetarian for 11 days - it taught me a lot. I think that you really liked the pizza as well - amazing how different... More

“Little gem”

Reviewed 14 August 2012

The smell of freshly baked bacon and onion bread greeted us on our arrival at the Forge. Charles, the Forge's host (and apparently former drummer for David Bowie), has a passion for cooking using only the best ingredients which he sources locally wherever possible, The Forge has the feel of a tropical paradise, tucked away from civilisation and surrounded on...

“An enriching experience”

Reviewed 27 July 2012

We arrived at La Forge after a long day travelling. Charles met us as we arrived and immediately made us feel at home. He showed us to our suite and left us to settle in - bliss. Although called La Forge, the building in which we stayed was a mill and part of a medieval community, the buildings of which... More

Thank you so much for your comments! It was lovely to share a few moments with you and we are so happy that you appreciate the surroundings.

“Lovely relaxing time and we'll certainly be back!”

A warm welcome, stunningly beautiful grounds and wonderful cuisine! The dinners and lunches provided at La Forge are star-class! Charles consults with his guests about culinary preferences and cooks accordingly. Fresh garden produce and herbs cut before your eyes! One can eat alone or with other guests. Also they stock great local wines. Laure & Charles offer very good advice... More
