Hotel Review
A former farmhouse turned chic ecolodge, the Instants d'Asolu is all about escaping the stresses and strains of modern life. Here you'll find a stunning remote hideaway, a million miles from city life (owners Laurence and Daniel decided not to install telephones or televisions in the bedrooms and suites). The ethos is all about reconnecting with nature and recharging your batteries. Situated beside a beautiful lake and surrounded by glorious countryside, you're in the heart of the Auvergne Natural Park - volcano country! The rooms and suites are contemporary and minmalist with white walls, wooden floors, alpaca throws and faux fur curtains all complemented by antique pieces. The restaurant is another big draw here - the chef prides himself on selecting the best of the season's produce and delivering creative gastronomic dishes from local ingredients. In addition there's a wonderful spa, for some serious pampering after a day exploring the countryside. The Boreal Spa specialises in treatments using the local botanicals and there's a Nordic steamroom, and the piece de resistance - an outdoor lake-facing Japanese style bath of steel with underwater music and chrometherapy! For those seeking total relaxation and a wish to get away from it all, the Instants d'Absolu is the perfect retreat.
