Places to Stay in Murat

The location was astoundingly nice in the small French Village of Albe Pierre west of Murat , full of beautiful old stone buildings in the heart of the Massif Central , mountains in central France that look very much like the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern US only dotted with villages full of stone houses and buildings.. The grassy back terrace behind the second floor of the inn is shaded by trees and overlooked by the ancient stone tower of the stone village church and in front of the church is a moving, simple memorial about World War I . The interior of the dining and public areas downstairs was charming . The continental breakfast was simple but fine, and the dinner the night before was simple but very good French food well prepared. In the style of inns from my childhood , we sat at the same table for dinner and breakfast. My wife , Michelle, said the whole facility was the cleanest inn or hotel where she has ever stayed ( and she is a much better judge than I ). The hosts spoke excellent English- not something that we were looking for - but others might like to know.

the location, close to the old town and restaurants was good

This is an excellent small hotel with no elevator - in an old, historic building. All went well, and dinner at the hotel restaurant had quite good traditional local food. The owner is a bit of a character - very knowledgeable about the area, but I suspect that speaking decent French might be useful. Easy parking in the street.

Beautiful old building in the old town of Murat. Parking on the street right across from front door. The interior is beautiful wood, antique furnishings, and elegant decor. Quiet surroundings, comfortable (and large) bed. Easy walking around the town or to the hilltop Madonna. Eateries down down the street.

Amazing! Comfy and well-furnished, two whole rooms with a kitchen, a wood pellet stove, multiple chairs and couches, books about the region... The owner was also very kind and I'm sure she wouldn't have helped if I had any problem. In the center of beautiful Murat. And crazy cheap for all that.
