My daughter and I stayed at this wonderful place for 5 nights and as mentioned in so many other reviews, it really is the hosts that make it so special. The property itself is beautiful with stunning views from our balcony and also from the terrace where we had our breakfast each day. There is also a delightful pool area (which was very welcome when the temperature hit 40C!). Paul and Daniel couldn't have made us more welcome. From a refreshing cup of (perfectly brewed) tea when we arrived, to organising bicycles (which were delivered to us at the property) booking a kayaking trip and recommending (and booking) restaurants, wineries and places to visit. Paul even came with us on our bike ride which was a tremendous help as he took us on a perfect and picturesque route amongst sunflowers, vineyards and small villages and made sure we didn't get lost! Our room was spacious with ensuite bathroom and small balcony, parking was right outside and breakfast was delicious with a choice of fresh bread, croissants, meats &cheeses, granola and fruit. Due to restrictions caused by Covid, they were no longer offering evening meals but were very happy for us to bring in food from outside on occasion and eat it on the terrace, on our balcony or by the pool. Daniel was always on hand with the camera to make sure that we had plenty of photographs to take home! Cordes is a beautiful village and the surrounding areas and towns are also stunning. It did happen to be intensely hot that week so having to don our masks at every museum, cathedral or place of interest was quite stifling (albeit necessary!) However, it was lovely to get away after being locked down for months in London and we were so pleased to have found the absolutely delightful Chevalier Noir and its super hosts, Paul and Daniel. It really was like staying with good friends.…
This place is absolutely amazing ! We were greeted by the hosts on arrival who were so warm and friendly and shown to our rooms. The rooms were elegantly decorated and spacious with beautiful views of the french countryside. The house has several living rooms, all rustic and full of charm and character, one even has a log burner which was perfect for the December evenings. Breakfast was excellent quality with fresh bread, cheese and pastries as well as eggs made to order served with fresh coffee and juices. It was only a 5 minute walk to the medieval village which was abundant with shops and restaurants and had a very quaint feel to it. Would I stay here again ? ABSOLUTELY ..... this is France at its very finest !!!
What a wonderful place! Firstly the setting was overwhelming when arriving, entering the gates to the garden which overlooked the pool and had the most amazing views!! The house it’s self is beautiful, beautifully decorated and all the rooms are spacious with luxury details that made the stay even more perfect. Breakfast was delicious with fresh warm bread and pastries every morning from the bakery, with wonderful french cheeses, cereals, fresh juice and homemade jams .....there was more options but too many too mention. My room was at the top of the house, a huge room, with a huge bed which was beautifully decorated, as is the rest of the house, the bathroom was luxurious even having branded toiletries and a GHD hairdryer.... it was perfect.
This place is absolutely gorgeous. I couldn’t believe it when I arrived in the in the village that I was going to be staying here. When you walk through the gates you immediately see the stunning views across the French hills. The house itself is beautifully decorated and foreseen in all your needs. Besides the beauty of the house, which is decorated with great taste, the hosts are amazing too. Paul and Daniel catered to our every need, the breakfast in French style, a lovely dinner, making sure we were all happy and comfortable. And they gave us a tour through the lovely village, knowing lots of details and background about the history, making the visit even more interesting. I would highly recommend Le Chevalier Noir if you are looking for a beautiful place to stay in the French countryside, with great hosts to make your experience unique…
Paul and Daniel were fantastic hosts, they made our friends very welcome and Le Chevalier Noir, was the perfect birthday location. They provided a wonderful evening dinner and took the time to ensure we were all comfortable. I highly recommend the Chevalier Noir to anyone, wanting to visit Cordes. We will be sure to return soon.
