our telephone number

The hotel's website is on a 3-format CD, this means :

that it works in the same way as the website, the CDrom and the touch-screen computer.
that it is presented like a 250-page catalogue with 5 hours of audio description.
- The pages are arranged in chapters: "family history", "the rooms", "the restaurant" etc.
- In every chapter, the pages are laid out one after the other ; you can read them like a book, using the direction buttons: "next page" and "previous page".
but you can also use it like a normal website :
- to use these table pages simply click on an image to make it bigger, and return to the table page by clicking on the image
- you can scroll through the table pages of the same chapter using the "next" and "previous" links.
- to return to the summary use the "return to summary" buttons and links...

You can, of course, be sure that on the Eliotel website, unlike with basic 3-format CD's... none of the information is just in verbal form...

a maximum of information is also written on each page.

On each page of the site there are 2 large navigation buttons, one marked "map" and the other marked "email"

...these tell you how to get to Eliotel and how to send us an email.

We do not take on-line reservations because; :

we have only got 12 rooms and we prefer to keep our reservations personal;
it is just as quick and as sure to to make a reservation by telephone;
- if you have the number of your credit card ready it is very simple to furnish us with it
- it is a very safe way of making your reservation
many of our clients prefer :
- to write us a deposit cheque
- to arrive before 18.00 ; in the busy season it is easy for us to then rent the room to someone else if the guest does not arrive. During weekends of the Winter season, this is not necessary as we are more likely to have free rooms.
