Le Fenelon Hotel Carennac

Review by hotel critic

As a seasoned traveler and aficionado of the French Riviera's luxury hotel scene, my recent stay at Le Fenelon left a lasting impression. Nestled in the charming old village of Carennac, this lovely hotel, under new ownership, offered a warm welcome that instantly made us feel at ease. Upon arrival, my family and I were graciously greeted by Elodie and her delightful daughter, embodying true French hospitality. As an avid sailor who appreciates inclusivity, I was pleased to see the hotel cater to families like ours with a range of entertainment options. the owners went above and beyond by opening the pool for us, even on cooler days, allowing us to enjoy a leisurely swim amidst the picturesque surroundings. Opting for the menu de jour, we savored each dish prepared with precision and unique flavor combinations. the restaurant's ambiance was inviting, perfect for families seeking a relaxing evening together. Despite the now common self-service coffee machine during breakfast, the personalized touch of having coffee served from the kitchen added a special flair to the dining experience. Little details like these showcased the dedication of the owner to ensure guests feel pampered and valued throughout their stay. From exploring the quaint village of Carennac to indulging in delicious meals at the restaurant, every moment was filled with warmth and genuine hospitality. Le Fenelon's family-friendly amenities and welcoming atmosphere make it a perfect retreat for travelers seeking a relaxing and inclusive getaway. Your dedication to creating a welcoming environment for all guests shines through in every aspect of the hotel experience. We look forward to returning to this hidden gem on our next visit to the French Riviera.
