Food and drink at Hotel Lous Grits
- Hotel restaurant Dinner is cooked for guests on request, by Marie, the owner's daughter, who invites you to join the family dinner in palatial surroundings at 8pm for €40 each (without drinks). There are five tables (one for each bedroom). The menu uses local produce when it's at its best, and not just for food: in the autumn, hollowed-out pumpkins double as soup bowls. It's all hearty and home-made (Marie makes a mean chocolate soufflé).
- Dress code Layered and luxurious, with sensible, mediaeval-village-friendly footwear.
- Top table The corner tables near the fireplace are the most snug and secluded.
- Last orders Breakfast is available until midday, dinner and drinks from 8pm until midnight.
- Room service Dinner can be served in-room between 8pm and midnight.
- Hotel bar The bar hosts the only flatscreen TV for miles, and this one plays an old silent movie. It's cosy, so settle in for an after-dinner Armagnac.

Our favourite rooms
The dreamiest views come courtesy of Armarijo and Contoleso, where you'd be happy pulling up a chair and simply gazing at the countryside for entertainment. For space, go for Soulano; it's just made for lounging in.
