The setting, often mentioned as a stunning and beautiful dining room, contributed significantly to the overall positive experience. The breakfast was lovingly and abundantly prepared and included tasty local wines and food, making it quite appealing for many.
However, there were consistent remarks regarding the value for money. Many felt that for a price tag of €15 per person, the offerings were rather sparse and not as extensive as expected. Some guests mentioned the breakfast was meager, basic and lacking in variety. Issues such as damaged fruits, cold coffee and no availability of eggs or vegetables were noted. Additionally, the organization could be improved to make the breakfast more enjoyable.

There were instances where the breakfast exceeded expectations, but overall, enhancing the variety and quantity while ensuring the price reflects the offerings could improve guests' satisfaction.

For those looking for a more substantial dining experience, the staff at Château de la Berchère provide excellent recommendations and can make reservations at nearby restaurants.

The breakfast service at the hotel, though basic, offers a good start to the day. It's worth noting that to dine on-site, advance planning might be necessary to secure reservations as there is no formal restaurant within the château. Despite this, the overall dining experience, whether on-site or nearby, is quite pleasant, thanks to the attentive and helpful staff.
