Thanks. I think I will go for La Villa. their website looks very nice and yes the hotel had a full renovation about 1 yr ago according to the site.

I agree with you re the d'Aubusson. I was on e of the first to start going there and have been back 2 times per year ever since. I really hate to give it up but overall by going somewhere else I am essentially getting 1 night as a bonus due to reduced price.

The d'Aubusson has a 3 star sister hotel on rue jacob also called Millesime hotel. Looks very similar to the d'Aubusson bot not quite as plush. Do you know anything about it ?
