Logis Hôtel Restaurant Château Bellevue

We are writing to inform Tripadvisor readers of 4 things about Chateau Bellevue: 1) Charlotte's cooking is exceptionally good The restaurant was full or almost full every night, and most of the customers were French. Everyone seemed to be having a lovely time 2) We ate a la carte as well as on the demi-pension menu. For 7 consecutive nights we had the demi-pension menu and we never had the same dishes served up again. So unlike some previous reviews, we would say that it is entirely reasonable to dine here for many nights and NOT get bored with the food. In fact the only problem is that some of the dishes served up were so good that we were dying for them to be served up again. 3) The Chateau is beautifully kept with a lovely terrace and swimming pool. The room was perfectly comfortable. 4) All the staff are fantastic and try so hard to keep you happy . Emilie ,Thomas and Charlotte run Chateau Bellevue as a family concern and it truly shows . They are dedicated to the place and this gives the whole establishment a very bespoke and welcoming touch. We are writing a series of Travel books , and they made time from their very busy schedule to talk to us about Gascony, France , cooking and the intricacies of running a hotel-restaurant in 2025. This will be very helpful for the books and we are most grateful. Path and Anne

Wonderful chateau, Wonderful people, Wonderful food and Wonderful environs This is the first time that we have written a Tripadvisor review while still half way through a stay at an establishment. We have done so on this occasion so that fellow Tripadvisor readers feel confident to book and enjoy the 2025 summer season - just as we are currently doing. Some of the previous criticisms that we have read here, and which gave us cause for pause, are, in our very humble opinion, not justified - and therefore should be put to rest. Firstly, Bellevue is a classic French hotel particulier set in Gers. It has not been renovated to 22nd century standards , but we wouldn’t want it any other way. That is its charm, and is why we come to Gers, and to France. The hotel has however been updated to an entirely satisfactory standard, with excellent WiFi ( which even on occasion extends to the outdoor swimming pool ), perfectly acceptable bathroom facilities , and the best mattress and pillows that we have had over the last 4 weeks ( The lovely Italian hotels that we have spent time in over the last 4 weeks in Umbria and Puglia and Basilcata , however posh, have not been able to match the softness and fluffiness of Bellevue,s bedtime offerings). We obviously have only experienced one room , but the floors do not creak at all and we have slept wonderfully. In short this is a very comfortable hotel, and any throwback to the past 2 centuries is an essential part of its charm and exactly why you should come to Bellevue. Secondly the people working here could not be more welcoming and accommodating. Everyone of them. Illihana and Tom work the dining room tables beautifully. The 2 chambermaids keep the bedrooms fantastically clean. The young receptionist always has a welcoming smile and is so efficient. Emilie is so obliging - in each and every way . What more could anyone reasonably ask for? Merci Beaucoup . The mythical Charlotte is the one person we have not yet met in the 3 and a half days we have had in Bellevue so far. We are prone to letting our imaginations fly, and believe that she is kept in shackles working the kitchen stoves day and night. If so that would explain why we are so happy with the food that Illihana and Tom bring out to our table. Contrary to previous reports we believe that there is adequate choice in the set and a la carte menus. After eating in the restaurant on the first night , we immediately extended our stay by a further 2 nights. Will we get bored by the menus on offer after 8 days ? Maybe, but the quality of ingredients is excellent, and we are always suspicious of establishments offering too much choice - chefs, like surgeons, need to specialise - ask us how we know! As we are highly knowledgeable about wine ( ie we know that there is red and white, dry and sweet, tanniny and smooth, and headache inducing and headache sparing - and that is the total limit of our knowledge ) , we do what we always do - which is to give the somme

The meals were expensive and were the same every night. Would struggle if staying more than 3 nights due to limited choice. Outdoor pool was not heated so extremely cold for swimming Indoor pool was fabulous with adjoining sauna and steam rooms but would work out very expensive at 22 euros for 2 hours. Not something to afford every day of the stay!

The hotel has a bit of faded grandeur. We loved it. We had not reserved dinner. The manager tried to book us into other local restaurants as they were fully booked. There were none available. He arranged a separate table in the breakfast room. His wife is the chef. We were treated to a fabulous meal, the very best of French cooking. The next morning with her daughter, the chef was in the kitchen garden picking vegetables. Manager / sommelier recommended various local wines which were superb. We followed by samples of Armagnac. He was a perfect blend of sommelier, maitre d, and host. Plumbing worked flawlessly, the shower was large, and comfortable. The bed was comfortable. We loved it so much we stayed a second night and enjoyed another superb dinner.
