In the know

Our favourite rooms

Les Gypseries, one of the two junior suites, is the hotel’s largest, and has a mammoth-tubbed bathroom, floor-to-ceiling windows and a walk-in wardrobe. The hand-carved bucolic scene above the doorway is especially eye-catching, and the faux fur bedspread is wonderfully snuggle-soft. The two suites, Les Papillons and Les Pavôts, on the ground floor are ideal for long stays or family visits, as they share a full kitchen. Look out for the striking Cole & Son wallpaper (in particular the flamingoes in double superior Les Flamants Roses), themed on each room’s name.

Packing tips

Some kind of flagstone-friendly footwear – flip-flops in summer, or slippers in winter.

Also

Built in 1777 and named after its first owner, Baudon de Mauny has been in the same family for seven generations.

Food & drink

Hotel restaurant

There’s no restaurant, but table d’hôtes (for a minimum of six) can be arranged at weekends.

Dress code

Comfortable king-of-the-castle loungewear in which to sprawl in the main room, whisky in hand.

Top table

In the main room on the red sofas in front of the stone fireplace – the ideal place to savour an aperitif.

Room service

An honesty bar in the main lounge is as near as Baudon de Mauny gets to room service.
