Cave d'Occi Vinespa

We recently chose Cardbouche as a gift for the 60th birthday celebration of the owner of a beauty salon group! Although I haven’t been there myself, it came highly recommended by friends, so I thought it would be a perfect choice. The recipient was absolutely delighted and said they were very satisfied. They mentioned that the service, food, and wine were all excellent and expressed a strong desire to visit again! I’m truly glad we chose Cardbouche. Thank you so much! I hope to visit someday as well, so please take care of me when that time comes. One note: it seems the Aveda shampoo among the amenities had oxidized. Since shampoos can oxidize over time, occasional checks might be helpful!

I love the wine, beer, and atmosphere at Cave d'Occi. Last New Year, I stayed at Travignue and was very satisfied, so this year I chose Vinespa within the onsen facility. Although it is also a day-use onsen, I was concerned about how crowded it might be during New Year’s holidays but did not feel any inconvenience. Guests were provided with fresh towels each time they used the onsen, and in addition to pajamas, there were beautifully designed indoor wear available, making my stay very comfortable. Dinner was French cuisine in a separate building with excellent wine pairings. Breakfast was a Japanese set meal served by warm and attentive staff; the rice was so delicious that I had three extra servings of Koshihikari rice! I do have one request: The reason I chose to stay at Vinespa was because I looked forward to fully enjoying the book lounge. At night after day-use guests left, I imagined being able to relax in my favorite spot for reading or even taking a nap while surrounded by books exclusively for overnight guests. However, much earlier than the time mentioned during check-in, lights on the second floor were turned off entirely; additionally half of the first floor became off-limits due to cleaning of the onsen area. Recently "bookstore hotels" have become popular as well—while there may be staffing challenges or other issues involved—I kindly ask you consider keeping access open to overnight guests for late-night use of your book lounge facilities!
