| ACCOMMODATION - for up to 16 guests. All bedrooms are en-suite, except for one single and one twin. All the bathrooms were remodelled in 2009.
All bedooms are of boutique hotel standard, both in design and quality. We only use high quality bedlinen - sheets are no less than 200 thread count - and luxury super soft towelling. Half of the towels at Les Passeroses are Christy Fair-trade. Beds and mattresses are high-quality. We don't come in and 'tidy' rooms, but we do change the towels and clean the bathrooms on a Wednesday afternoon. We ensure a proper supply of quality loo paper!
FOOD & DRINK
There are three meals per day provided in a French fashion with a large meal in the middle of the day. Local and home-grown produce is used as much as possible. There is a wide variety of styles, but it is all vegetarian. Food allergies and intolerances can be catered for - please advise. Meals are completely wheat-free by using gluten free substitutes for foods such as pastry. Bread is provided as well, as rice cakes and soya milk/soya yoghurts. There is a separate kitchen for guests with a supply of hot and cold drinks, fresh and dried fruit.
Breakfast after the morning yoga class - help yourself to fresh/dried fruit, muesli, natural yoghurt, bread/toast with jams.
Lunch - the main meal of the day is substantial, usually with a soup or salad to start.
Indian sweet tea and a small cake is served at 3.30pm
