Our take
A 17th-century stone farmstead with a spa (jacuzzi, sauna that can be booked for private use) and two restaurants, bistro and fine dining. Waymarked trails start from here: walk in the morning, spa in the late afternoon.
A 3-star hotel in a 17th-century building in Saint-Julien-Chapteuil, with spa, sauna and wood-fired cooking.
In Saint-Julien-Chapteuil, at an altitude of over 1,000 metres, La Ferme du Bien-Être occupies a 17th-century building. Stone walls, period beams, lauze (stone-slab) roof: the setting is that of a real Haute-Loire farm, with comfort added.
The hotel is rated 3 stars and has 7 bedrooms, double, triple or quadruple. Small scale, which works rather in your favour when it comes to peace and quiet.
The name is well earned. You get a spa, a sauna that can be booked for private use, a jacuzzi and a massage room, with treatments of 30 to 50 minutes. In summer, they add yoga sessions.
On the food side, it cooks over a wood fire, with local produce through the seasons and three wine cellars. And for getting out, hikes start straight from the farm.
