Guest House di Neuville

Mikael Marlies Islandia

This is a very simple, basic hotel, with clean, comfortable rooms and its own bar and restaurant. This is not for those looking for a five-star, "international" hotel. We stayed at Le Commerce during a horrible heat wave, but although there was no air conditioning, the rooms and common spaces were acceptably cool. Le Commerce is located in an old-fashioned building in a very small village out in the countryside, with virtually no local services. A drive of about 10 minutes from Argentat (windy, forest road, not for drivers who have enjoyed alcoholic refreshment) or 25 minutes in another direction from Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne. Although isolated, provides an excellent base for exploring various beautiful places in the valley of the Dordogne. The hostess and her husband are lovely, friendly people, very concerned with the comfort of their guests. They are very relaxed and "personal". The hostess is also the chef de cuisine and offers nicely cooked dinners (definitely home cooking) combining Eastern European and French recipes. The meal plan is basically you-get-what-she-decides-to-make (and my theory is that they offer what they plan to have themselves.) The hostess was good enough to arrange a special birthday dinner for my wife's 70th birthday, which coincided with our stay at this hotel. If this is the sort of place you know how to appreciate, you are bound to have a very happy stay at Le Commerce.
