My partner and I recently spent 5 terrific nights at the Carpe Diem. Our room was spacious and beautifully appointed; the bathroom was huge, modern, and sparkling. Breakfast was excellent with juice, tea, coffee, assorted meats, chesses, breads and jams. It was fun each morning to meet other guests and chat over croissants and butter. But Patrick and Eric were... More

We rolled into the little village of Massangis in the rain, tired after a day's drive towards Paris, only to be greeted by Patrick's welcoming smile then a warm and friendly room. Little did we know the delicious feast that was to be presented that evening, prepared by Patrick and Eric. Wow. First, an apertif of a locally produced light... More

Carpe Diem is a real gem. We received a warm welcome from our hosts, Patrick and Eric, who obviously have a passion for meeting new people and sharing their lovely home. Their wonderful hospitality and attentiveness made our stay an absolute delight, and it was a pleasure spending time in their company. Our rooms (Ludivine & Eugenie) were beautiful and... More

We booked Carpe Diem at the last minute based on the reviews and were fortunate they still had a triple room, as it was the ultimate experience! The drive from Dijon to Massangis is so scenic and the location is perfect if you are traveling to or from Paris by car. Despite arriving past the arrival time and interrupting their... More

Top quality accommodation, food, drink and hosts. A wonderful 4 nights at Carpe Diem made our holiday. Patrick and Eric are excellent hosts and the whole experience with other guests was most enjoyable. Repeat visits are a must.

Wow. This place really lives up to its reviews on this website and all the praise is certainly well deserved. It's a shame that we only spent a night as a stopover (but we'll definitely be back). Patrick was a wonderful host and our room was lovely (Diane). If only all the b'n'bs could be like this!

I don't want to sound like I am simply jumping on the bandwagon with such a positive review, but Carpe Diem, and the whole experience that Patrick and Eric create at their home, is simply wonderful, almost magical. Their love and passion for the place and for service really show in so many ways. They are truly 'hosts'. One note,... More

We stayed only one night at Carpe Diem but I wish it could have been for longer. Patrick and Eric are delightful and attentive hosts and although we were the only English couple with limited French language skills, Patrick made every effort to include us in the dinner time conversation and to translate, where necessary, the conversation of the other...

After many years of travelling through France and staying at an extensive range of accommodation, we recently discovered the unspoilt charm of Carpe Diem! Patrick is not only a perfect host, but an excellent chief presenting gastronomic dishes complimented with high quality wines. Each of the five bedrooms is spotless and charming in character. From the moment you arrive the... More
