Domaine de Rymska & Spa - Relais & Châteaux

This was our group of 4 couples’ stop in France. The Domaine is in an amazing beautiful setting, it absolutely beautiful architecturally and has such a nice staff. The food is great but service in the restaurant is a bit slow and lacking. Our group had such a wonderful time from lounging to biking the French Countryside.

We had a lovely stay at Domaine de Rymska for one night. The property was beautiful and the meal we had at the restaurant was amazing. The staff were really welcoming, accomodating, and professional. The weather wasn't the greatest so we couldn't spend time outside, and there is nothing nearby, but if you are looking for a night or two to unwind with some good food and ambiance it's great! The only unfortunate thing was that we did not realize we'd have to pay extra even to enjoy the steam or sauna so there really wasn't much to do once there.

Lovely hotel in the middle of nowhere with beautiful accommodation and great staff. We were upgraded to a large suite with private jacuzzi - even the toilet seat opened itself for you! Very large bathroom which had a tendency to mist up very quickly (not good if you’re putting your makeup on). Room was a little dark but facilities beautiful. The food in the restaurant was delicious both nights - couldn’t fault it. We had to preorder breakfast which was a bit of a pain as you don’t know what you want the night before - but it was nevertheless very good.

Recent three night stay in ground floor suite, separate building from reception/restaurant etc. Suite ok though a bit quirky (hessian flooring?) Bar and restaurant welcoming and food generally ok. Except breakfast. They request you put order in previous evening, but makes no difference. Second morning waited 25 minutes just for that first cup of coffee. We did not say anything as just wanted to see how long they would take. Croissants were a good 10 minutes later. Overall not a bad stay but the location is so remote that in-house dining is pretty mandatory, so patience is essential.

This was our second time to stay, and there is no doubt, this is a beautiful place to stay at when visiting Burgundy, and we will probably be back when we go that way again. Rooms are very well appointed, the bedding luxurious and the food is really good. The location is rural, but pretty spectacular, and while there are no "views" in a traditional sense as the property is located low in a dip, the immaculate landscaping, ponds and being surrounded by meadows with horses, cows and ducks give it a great sense of serenity. We stayed in one of the newer lovely suites and really liked the room. My quibbles are not major, but at a Relais & Chateaux charging over Euro 1000 per night for some of its rooms, it is all about the details: 1. the in-house restaurant serves top quality food, but at eye-watering prices. If I am paying top prices, I would expect the wait staff to be dressed in uniforms, and be very polished. Instead, the staff was very "junior", and dressed quite casually. 2. We had 6 glasses of wine amongst us from a limited list of wine-by-the-glass with prices between Euro 16-24 per glass of 2022 vintages, and the pour was the smallest I have ever had. I asked the sommelier to be a bit more generous with his pour, and he became all huffy saying that the pour was 200ml. No way was his pour almost 1/3 of a bottle - more like 3 sips. 3. The room information sheets about contacting the front desk and connecting to the internet were obsolete. The network and password were non existent, and the room phone being referred to, could not be located. 3. The fancy electronic toilet needs a simple instruction sheet. I am pretty good technically, but could not figure out how to use all the nifty features. Perhaps management could look at these small things, fix them and make Domaine de Rymska even better?

We visited this fabulous hotel at the start of our French holiday touring around. We wanted a base in the Burgundy region. Whilst about 30 mins drive from Beaune it was a beautiful base. The hotel is quite small (although they are building 4 additional rooms). We stayed in. Junior suite which was enormous and very comfortable. Huge bathroom (although ours didn’t have a working fan so got very steamy from the shower). The setting is beautiful with a lovely pool. An excellent restaurant where meals were served - together with terraces. There were a lot of wasps which drove us inside one morning and were an annoyance but to be expected. Our one frustration was a lovely but very small menu for dinner and no separate lunch or snack menu - however they were able to rustle up a lovely salad and some ham and cheeses for us. it would be nice have this written down perhaps for residents. The restaurant was popular with people from the area which was lovely to see especially post pandemic ! It was a lovely start to our trip and would definitely return if we came back to Burgundy
