La Pluie de Roses

This B&B, walking distance to Les Jardins du Monet, had its own lovely gardens and enclosed, free parking area. Our room included a large sitting area and a spacious bedroom. We slept very well. The bathroom had a shower, sink and toilet. Breakfast was delicious. The furnishings were a bit worn and the towels were thin, but this is a small B&B, not a 5-star hotel. We were completely happy with our one night stay here.

We stayed here April 2023 for one night in the superior double room with terrace and had a very nice stay. Here are our observations/experiences that also factor items such as: what we knew prior to booking (type and cost of lodging), historical variables, total value for the money and comparisons with similar experiences – we greatly appreciate travelers who have provided reviews for our vacation planning and hope this info helps you too 😊: THE GOOD STUFF: • Hotel owner (Luciano) accommodating, friendly and helpful. He used a translation device to help communicate with us, greatly appreciated. • On-site parking behind a locked gate (we were given a code) • Luggage cart on wheels to help get luggage from car to house door • When we arrived, Luciano greeted us at the gate where Google directions took us. He gave us a map showing how to access the other, large gate and private parking. • WiFi worked very, very well • Grounds are lovely, plants and trees to be appreciated • Comfortable room, bed, pillows • Windows opened • Good breakfast, including a delightful surprise prepared by Luciano: scrambled eggs with herbs and bacon strips. Also available on buffet table: breads, croissants, baguettes, whole fresh fruit, orange juice, coffee, tea • At our request, breakfast was ready early to accommodate our timed entry to Giverny house/gardens. AWARENESS STUFF: • No elevator – we knew this before we booked this historical location. One set of stairs up to bedroom. • Dimly lit bedroom and just a few outlets – although we booked what was called a superior double room with terrace, not sure we would have called it that NEEDS ACTION: • Better lighting in room • Add an electrical bus bar to provide accessible places to plug in electronics
