Very friendly and helpful. Beautiful situation on River Tarn. Very peaceful. The food at dinner is rich and complicated, so not suitable for anyone with a delicate tummy. Big swimming pool on a lovely terrace. Ideal for visiting Albi.

After a long day of travelling my friend and I stopped at La Reserve to enquire about a room for the night. The hotel was not full, however the first price the receptionist quoted us was more then we were willing to spend for one evening. At this point one of us used the washroom as we continued to discuss... More

What a gem! Beautiful setting, great bedroom and bathroom, super friendly staff, great pool, and heavenly pool. Thank you all!

The location a few km outside Albi on the banks of the river Tarn was fantastic. We enjoyed our balcony overlooking the swimming pool and lawns leading down to the river. Albi is a wonderful old medieval city but city centre hotels seemed a bit cramped so we were pleased to be on the outskirts. We enjoyed relaxing during our... More

We spent a very enjoyable 2 day break at the hotel. The rooms are comfortable, the location is excellent (just outside Albi and on the river), the staff are well organised and helpful and the food imaginative and well cooked and well presented. This is a typical R&C hotel located on the fringes of an historic town: it has a... More

La Reserve is a venerable establishment in Albi on the banks of the River Tarn, right off the main road that leads to Cordes-sur-Ciel, another tourist draw. Now that Albi has been named a UNESCO World Heritage site, more people are bound to visit. We celebrated our 20th anniversary dinner there and were quite disappointed. The setting is pleasant. On...

I must be in France every 2/3 months and I am based in Provence. My travels take me from one end of the South (Nice) to the other cote (Biarritz). And between?So many wonderful regions and experiences. I thought I'd share some of my favorites as I've stayed at so many hotels and sampled from 3* Restaurants down to the... More

"La Reserve" is a lovely 3 - 4 star country side hotel with great location close to Albi and directly on the Tarn river. The property itself is split between two houses, the more conservative main building and the more modern (parket, lounge style) rooms in the side house (anyway the bathrooms need urgent renovation). La Reserve is ideal for... More

Driving to the hotel from Albi we were very concerned that it would be too close to the town, but on arrival we were not disappointed at all with the location on the river. Room itself was very comfortable with a full river view and balcony. Breakfast, as is often the case, was uninspiring but adequate. Dinner somewhat better on... More
