Maison du Val, relaxing stays in Saint-Germain-en-Laye - our pictures

After a first establishment in Villiers-le-Mahieu, near Thoiry, the group Les Hôtels (Très) Particulier invites you to go green in its second address of the brand Les Maisons de Campagne, La Maison du Val, since November 17, 2021 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, in the Yvelines. A relaxing experience that we were able to test... We tell you about it!

Looking for a relaxing weekend in the countryside? Nestled in the heart of the Saint-Germain-En-Laye forest, the Maison du Val, a new establishment of the Les Maisons de Campagne brand, belonging to the Les Hôtels (Très) Particuliers group, has been waiting for you since November 17, 2021 for a moment of relaxation far from the hustle and bustle of Paris. A second address after the one in Villiers-le-Mahieu, a stone's throw from the Thoiry Zoo, opened in 2019.

A hotel that has its own particularity, just like its other address in the Paris region: offering individuals and companies the comfort and charm of a country house, without the constraints. No gardening, no do-it-yourself, not even meals to prepare (unless you want them)... Everything is done to make your life easier, during a seminar or a quiet weekend with your family, as if you were at home. Activities, cocktails at the bar, access to the Nordic baths, restaurant... Everything is included in your stay!

The establishments also make a point of allowing easy access to nature, whether it is surrounding or on the plate. Thus, you can enjoy the large park of this former hunting lodge of Louis XIV, go for a walk in the forest of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, or take advantage of the beautiful culinary proposal of the house, with good small dishes at the buffet.

You can live at your own pace and take advantage of yoga classes, a movie session, Norwegian baths in the middle of nature, a game room or a library and board games at your disposal. The premises, a magnificent residence that belonged to Louis XIV, and renovated by a duo of architects, are conducive to this lifestyle and relaxation.

As for the rooms, thehotel offers stays in its 49 rooms, far from the hustle and bustle of Paris, to reconnect you with nature. The rooms are relatively simple, but offer all the necessary comfort to spend a pleasant stay.

During the week, it's time for seminars with an offer focused on creativity and well-being, all inclusive, meeting rooms at the cutting edge of technology and a vitamin-packed, gourmet restaurant, to be 100% operational. On weekends, it's time for individuals, families, friends and other groups to get away to the great outdoors. Everything is also all-inclusive for these visitors, with generous high-flying cuisine and activities to match, all included in the price of the room.

An experience that the editors were able to test, for the weekend part. And we are not going to lie, the moment of relaxation is indeed there! The setting is extremely calm and invites to rest, thanks to the environment, of course, but also thanks to the warm and friendly welcome of the staff, who take care of each visitor.

As far as activities are concerned, we were tempted by the Nordic baths, ideal to relax our muscles after a long day. The warmth of the bath quickly made us forget the coolness of the evening. The library is also a great place for literature lovers. As for the bars, several are available, and offer you a lot of cocktail recipes to make yourself (no bartender, it's up to you to take everything in hand), and in the main room, and in the chapel converted into a place to relax.

As far as the room is concerned, the bed is of course ultra comfortable, leading you directly into the arms of Morpheus. And wherever you are, you have a magnificent view of the park of the hunting lodge. Beautiful French gardens that we also took pleasure to walk through, and within which we could relax on deckchairs provided.

For the children, beyond the cinema which proposes a dedicated program, a game room is also at disposal, with all the necessary to have fun in family or between friends. Board games, darts, shuffleboard, karaoke, table soccer, pinball... It's up to you to decide what you want to do! Note also that a room exclusively dedicated to the youngest children, with educational material, is also proposed, for the parents who would come with their young baby (s).

And what about the food? As far as breakfast is concerned, it is very copious and will delight those who like the "English breakfast" type (with scrambled eggs, ham, cheese and bacon...). For lunch and dinner, the selection of dishes is interesting, proposing cold starters, a hot dish (served by the chef) and an array of beautiful desserts. Note that vegetables are highlighted, with various salads and purées, for a balanced and healthy meal.
