We stayed here for 5 nights while we saw the Tour ride through and explored the south of France. Initially, we were a little surprised at how basic this accommodation is - the rooms are quite sparse, and there is no heating or cooling facilities (which was hard in the heat!). However, the people - Isabel and her husband and the other staff - were really lovely, very friendly and helpful and made such efforts to speak to us in English given our poor French! That was really wonderful, and they recommended places for us to visit and each night asked us questions to make sure our day went well. A major redeeming factor was the restaurant at the hotel. The owner's husband was the chef, and their friend's daughter the waitress, and it was absolutely delightful every night. We ate there 3 out of the 5 nights, and the food was fresh, very reasonably priced (14 euros for a menu du jour) and delicious. From our driving around there didn't appear to be that many other restaurants in the area, so each night it appeared to be filled with families from the area, and so it was always busy. A key thing to note is that this is not in Rodez (even though some sites likes booking.com suggest it is in Rodez). Rodez and Rodez airport is about an hours drive away (through lots of beautiful countryside) to Requista, where the hotel is located. You would definitely need a car to visit the hotel, there is no public transport in the area.
