Restaurant le Relais du Vivarais

Good hotel for a short stay. Clean room, good food, frienly welcome

A wonderful discovery! This charming hotel-restaurant was a delight. We had a very pleasant time and the food was excellent. Now we only have one wish: to return, but this time for a longer stay, as the place is so welcoming and warm. A big thank you to the friendly owners for their hospitality and kindness.

Perfect stop on the Viarhona cycling route, welcoming staff and services, we also recommend the meal at the hotel restaurant, Thank you!

A very warm welcome from a very helpful manager. Accommodation in a small bungalow at the back of the garden, next to the pool. Good meals available in the restaurant in the evening. Good breakfast.

The owners were very welcoming. An address to recommend.

De kamer en badkamer waren proper, maar de badkamer zeer klein.
De service van het avondmaal was een beetje "expeditief", te snel naar onze mening.
Bij het ontbijt waren er kleine afgebakken broodjes, dezelfde als deze voorgesteld met het avondeten .
Er waren ook mini-viennoiseries maar GEEN typische baguette of Frans brood zoals de Belgen het noemen.

In the middle of a green oasis and yet close to the motorway, the ideal place for a stopover on our journey south! We slept with our dog (who was very welcome) in a room in the garden (not in the main building) with a private terrace. Beautiful swimming pool with sun loungers, the car (with bike on it) was safe, and bikes are also allowed in the garage. Had a lovely dinner under the trees! Full breakfast, with croissants, raisin cookies, yogurt, cold cuts, sweets, pancakes... (only the rolls could have been fresher). Very likeable owners and a friendly welcome! Also a very nice place for children. Wonderful mattress :-)

Superb location near the motorway and the historic site of Viviers. Super friendly and welcoming staff. Delicious and generous meals. Great breakfast...something for everyone and, most importantly, homemade products 😋

A big thank you for your help after a day of cycling in the rain.

Excellent value for money. Very good food.

Perfect

Friendly and warm welcome, very decent room, nice hotel!

I will return to this hotel.

PERFECT! This was our second evening at this establishment, which we discovered last year.

Heerlijk hotel om een aantal dagen te verblijven.
Zeer hartelijke ontvangst. Je voelde al direct welkom en thuis!
Zeer hondvriendelijk! uitstekende kamer met goede bedden en en douche.
Het hotel is ook makkelijk bereikbaar en is ca. 15 minuten van de snelweg verwijdert.
Het hotel serveert een heerlijk ontbijt en heeft een geweldig restaurant.
Wij komen graag weer terug!

What a welcome, what tranquility, with all the attentions we love. We are in traditional and authentic hotel and catering. With all the comforts of the day, high quality bedding (mattress, duvet, sheets), heat pump heating which heats pleasantly and perfectly on demand (and which can be adjusted as you wish .....). The big plus: a very large room, very large bathroom, with large equipped terrace by the pool, royal !!!! Impeccable cleanliness everywhere, we are on the Logis Hotel standards, bravo to the brand and bravo to the owners of this beautiful establishment.

2nd stay at the Relais du Vivarais Last year we chose this hotel for its location on our route. We came back this year because we were very well received, it is easy to park a carriage and the restaurant offers a quality meal in the evening.

Alright

Thanks to Helene who goes out of her way for you. She likes to satisfy her customers and what can I say about David's meals which are excellent. My dogs and cats were very welcome, which is becoming rare. Thank you and see you soon. Elizabeth Sylvain

Very well received, great owner and staff, TO RECOMMEND

The owner always welcomes us in such a friendly way. The room is very comfortable and includes a large adjoining room for the toilet and a large walk-in shower. It has excellent bedding, it is equipped with a TV (satellite antenna) and Wi-Fi access, and, as a little extra, there is a kettle in case you want a coffee or tea. In addition, the place is very quiet and well insulated from any outside noise. The surroundings with the swimming pool are beautifully maintained. The only small reservation, but it is really not much, is the bread at breakfast could be replaced by a very crusty baguette. But it is really a matter of personal taste, because the breakfast is varied and very complete, with cold meats, yogurts, cheese, pastries, excellent homemade jams; in short: very good breakfast. In summary: We are delighted with our stay.

We were very well received: our hosts were very attentive. We ate very well and were able to sleep peacefully knowing our bikes were safe in a garage. A beautiful place!

We were very satisfied

Superb stopover. A beautiful place, located in a beautiful and very interesting village. Exceptional welcome, and delicious dinner. The owners are very accommodating, attentive to their guests, and incredibly kind. To be repeated without hesitation.

Decent, clean and quiet hotel

Sehr ngenehmes Hotel für einen Zwischenstop

Very friendly staff and we ate very well.

The only downside is the proximity of the D86 and the traffic. The hotel remains quiet despite everything.

A very warm welcome. Cosy hotel with good food and service.

Very good both the hotel and the restaurant. Delicious homemade products!!!! A special mention from Nuts

A most pleasant welcome, a comfortable and spacious room, and good suggestions for visits and walks in the surrounding area. The restaurant was top-notch, with three different menus. Flawless, well done!

Passing through for a stopover, we appreciated the welcome, the friendliness and the flexibility. The room was perfect and the dinner excellent. We recommend :)

Very friendly, uncomplicated, and attentive. They were very good with our two dogs. Our room was in the garden, which was great with the dogs. The food in the restaurant was delicious.

Nice hotel on a busy road, but rooms are well soundproofed. Air conditioning a bit noisy, some work to be done in the room. Missing: a courtesy tray and box of tissues.

Even better than at home! Impeccable service, lots of attention and listening. Hélène takes great care of everything and the food is fantastic too.

It's a pleasure. We stop at the Vivarais relay twice a year.

This establishment is highly recommended, Hélène is very welcoming and very professional.

In de nacht lawaai van het voorbijrijdend verkeer

Delighted from the moment we arrived. We were able to arrive a little early due to traffic issues, and we had no problem getting our room. Help with luggage. Very welcoming, very friendly staff. We will definitely be back as soon as we have the opportunity. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed so many things! From the welcome to the departure, everything was great. We will be back with pleasure.

Superb welcome, Hélène, the owner is very attentive, very pleasant and very caring. Good food in the restaurant, a very varied and complete breakfast. A very pleasant place, beautiful shaded terrace, decent room, air conditioning appreciated. A really pleasant stopover, highly recommended.

Very pleasant and welcoming setting. Perfect for stopover evenings. Pool access.

We received a wonderful welcome and had a wonderful stay. The room was perfect, facing the pool, and the pool was very pleasant after a day of driving. The staff were helpful and attentive. The evening meal was excellent and reasonably priced, reflecting the quality of the products and their presentation. We recommend it and would return for a longer motorcycle stay. There is a beautiful, secure parking area.

Hélène, the boss, takes great care of her customers!

Very welcoming hotel, the owners are only looking to help! Excellent restaurant.

Very nice hotel restaurant with a very welcoming and friendly manager who is full of humor. Really a very nice place to recommend!!!

Very friendly welcome, quality service, excellent meal and very good wines at a fair price. Everything was there. Too bad we only stayed one day and didn't take advantage of the superb swimming pool.

Very warm welcome, family atmosphere. The catering is also of high quality.

Magnificent setting Very warm welcome Next time we will stay much longer A little paradise

Second time we stayed there.

This is a lovely small hotel with a pretty garden and swimming pool. The owner and staff are very welcoming and friendly. Our room was spacious, in the garden by the pool, the bed was very comfortable and the air-conditioning worked well in the extreme heat while we were there. We enjoyed our evening meals on the shady terrace. We would love to return one day.

Great reception and food. Very friendly host Hélène. Noisy road unfortunately.

Excellent food with a good range of choices at very good prices.

Small establishment, pleasant and comfortable room, possibility of parking bicycles in a protected area.

Very warm welcome, very convenient parking with my bike rack. Excellent food with a beautiful outdoor terrace.

Very friendly family hotel. Superb green setting. Very spacious and well-equipped room. The owners are charming, very friendly and very attentive. They give us good advice for exploring the region. The catering made with local products is very tasty. The breakfast with homemade cake, homemade pancakes, homemade jam is great, not forgetting the cold meats

A little gem in an idyllic location with unbeatable value for money

Very warm welcome. Room overlooking the garden, very pleasant for a short stay in spring. Good quality meals on several occasions. Good overall service.

Onthaal was zeer spontaan en het restaurant ter plaatse was uitstekend.
Het ontbijt was niet bijzonder, wat stokbrood zou al veel goedmaken

Improve the cleanliness of the premises (kitchens, entrance, etc.)

L'hôtel est très bien, l'accueil chaleureux. Il y a un jardin, piscine, la terrasse est ombragée pour les repas, très appréciable.
Le repas du soir excellent.
Le point à améliorer c'est le petit déjeuner, des mini, mais trop mini pains maison un peu dur pas de baguette, le chocolat chaud n'est pas très bon poudre à mélanger.

Very friendly welcome, a closed garage for bikes as promised and a restaurant on site where we ate well. Thank you!

Friendly reception by owner in lovely small village of the beaten track. Room with terrace . Fine local dining. Large selection of local wines. Nice breakfast.

A pleasant stopover with motorcycle parking. Warm and friendly welcome. Very pleasant dinner with well-prepared Ardèche specialties. Quiet room for a restful sleep. Excellent, hearty breakfast. I highly recommend this stopover. Reservations are recommended.

Very good hotel and very good restaurant, warm welcome and impeccable service

excellent welcome including for my dog, pleasant room and very pleasant shaded terrace

Warm welcome, very good food with local products and excellent breakfast. Thank you to our hosts.

Charming place with a very warm welcome

What a wonderful place to stay! The staff were amazing! This is the best place we've stayed on our vacation.

Very warm welcome. Rare! Easy parking, same for the hairy ones. Excellent value for money.

Good bed. Clean room. Good food for reasonable price. Noisy road all night long.

Very warm welcome Very good location for those who want to discover the very beautiful little town of Viviers and lovers of the Ardèche

Very well, see you soon at the end of August.

Très bien situé et un accueil très agréable

Lovely informal welcome. A family feeling with the children playing in the garden and the hostess / mother very friendly and helpful. The evening meal was very good in a relaxed atmosphere. We had a nice room with a terrace and view through trees to the town. It was a delightful stay.

Meets our expectations

This is the first time we've stopped here. We were satisfied with both the welcome and the traditional cuisine.

Very well received and attentive.

Perfect

Welcome with a smile, friendly restaurant.

A welcome that is always so warm!

Very good hotel restaurant, great welcome, impeccable cleanliness, good meal, large parking lot and spacious room.

Always a quality service at the customer's service

Excellent hotel stopover not far from Montélimar near the A7 motorway!

Attentive welcome even outside opening hours. Generous and quality half-board. Ideal for welcoming bikers.

Excellent address. Warm welcome, helpful and attentive staff. Family atmosphere. Large and very well equipped rooms. Only tiny downside, going outside for dinner and lunch. In winter it is cool…grrrr

Small hotel, in a tourist location, warm welcome, pleasant atmosphere.

Very warm welcome both on the phone for the reservation and on our arrival. Hotel on a human scale. Very good restaurant; Quality dishes, very good, very fine and beautiful presentation. Possibility of parking a car with a trailer safely in the parking lot at the back of the hotel.

Nice hostel. Friendly staff. Comfortable room, good and plentiful dinner.

Thank you for the welcome, the delicious meals, the cleanliness of the place. I highly recommend this establishment

Very nice bike stop

Great for us

Excellent hotel, quality cuisine and very friendly owner. Very appreciated stop on the way to the holidays.

Wonderful hotel with very good food. A very nice and helpful hostess. We will come back. Our room overlooking the pool was spacious and comfortable. Above all, which is rare in France, all German and international TV channels.

Very good welcome

A bit daunting arriving at a hotel to find everything locked up and looking somewhat abandoned! We did arrive very early and was aware reception opened at 17.30 but after a long drive with dogs it would have been nice to be able to relax. However, at 16.30 the hotel was opened by a very smiley friendly lady who showed us to our room. We were very pleasantly surprised by how new and modern it was. Everything about it was pristine and tasteful. We were served drinks on the terrace while the dogs were freed from their leads to wander and stretch their legs. We were informed that the dogs would be welcome to join us for our evening meal but we declined the generous offer as we wanted to enjoy one night dog free. Had a wonderful 3 course meal of smoked salmon, duck and dessert. Nothing was too much trouble for our hostess and she made our one night stay very enjoyable.

We appreciated the comfort and space of the room, the calm considering a busy road axis, the kindness of the hostess and her availability, the freshness of the setting with trees and lawn as well as the fact that animals are really welcome there. Excellent stopover in a magnificent region with tourist advice as a bonus.

Comfortable and spacious room

Perfect welcome, family atmosphere, very well-kept hotel and excellent services. Top-notch cuisine and a successful stay.

Excellent welcome, place and cuisine to discover very very good +++ I recommend 100%

Warm welcome, family spirit, it was great, breakfast was really good. We will come back, thank you very much Erick and Isabelle

Very large room because it is equipped to accommodate disabled people. Shower room with all the desirable elements. The restaurant offers a large and varied menu. Welcoming and warm staff. Please note that rooms must be vacated by 10 a.m.

Excellent welcome

Charmant petit hôtel familial. Accueil chaleureux et sympathique, chambre très bien. Excellente cuisine, un vrai cuisinier à l’œuvre. Avec piscine! Notre meilleur expérience sur la ViaRhona.

Cela etant mon troisièmes séjours dans cette établissement et bientot mon quatrième cest dire a quel point tout est parfait. Petit detail mais rien a voir avec l établissement, prévoyez de l anti moustique car le comités d acceil est la aussi 😅

Three good rooms. Beautiful terrace for a good diner.

Nicely situated. Near main road has no negative influence. Very nice outside restaurant.

Very nice home.

A lovely family run hotel. We stayed for three nights in a very comfortable room. In addition to breakfast each day, we had a dinner on one evening and lunch on another. The quality of the food and service could not be faulted. The owner is clearly proud of her town and gave us some useful tips for visits. I don’t believe it’s in the advertising literature but the hotel has a lovely outdoor pool.

It was perfect. No complaints. I have already recommended you to those around me. Thank you for everything.

Friendly welcome, pleasant room.

A small family hotel where you feel good. Very friendly welcome. We don't worry: if we want to change an ingredient in a dish, it's possible... mix the menus? No problem ! Everything is set up to have a good time. Quality of the restaurant to be highlighted. The boss smokes his salmon himself! Air-conditioned room, efficient double glazing (the road is close to the hotel. Comfortable bedding
