We have just returned from a wonderful 2 night stay at the Chateau des Tourelles in Quebec City. Allan and Marc have done a fabulous job restoring a unique heritage building on Rue St. Jean. It has a wonderful roof top terrace with expansive views of the city and surrounding countryside. A great place to sit with a beer or glass of wine in the afternoon and soak up some sun. Our room (The Annie) was a top floor corner unit with windows on both sides to take advantage of the breezes and great views. The bed, complete with down quilt was very comfortable. Breakfast was a treat, very delicious and presentation was superb. We felt that we were in a quaint cafe with the decor of the dining room. It's minutes from the walls of the old city through a vibrant neighbourhood with funky shops, restaurants and cafes, even a chocolate museum! We look forward to returning again some day!

This is an excellent property! It is on the best street in Quebec City, Rue St. Jean. Our room had windows on 2 sides which offered a nice breeze all day and night. The rooftop terrace is great for relating with a glass of rose!

Having viewed TripAdvisor in an effort find just the right B & B for this stay, we happened upon Chateau des Tourelles.

As I type this we are enjoying our third evening here and my husband has wandered to the rooftop to enjoy the marvelous view prior to leaving for dinner.

Our stay could not have been more delightful.. Alain greeted us offering easy on-site parking (this is limited but he does have offsite parking very closeby) We were very fortunate to arrive on a beautiful sunny Sunday and were immediately provided a delightful room complete with it's own balcony. After refreshing ourselves we enjoyed beer and wine (available to purchase at the store below) on our balcony and went to explore the city.

The next morning we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast (excellent breakfasts!!!) and Alian was kind enough to offer us recommendations/suggestions on the days activities. We decided to explore Chute du Montmorency and he was able to provide us with a CD that is a driving/walking tour of Isle D'Orleans (very enjoyable) He also provided wonderful recommendations for local dining. I will recommend Chez Victor , very local, very reasonable excellent burgers and my husband experienced poutine and sugar pie. (please don't miss out on this)

Today we wandered throughout the city savoring the history and look forward to dining out this evening at another one of Alain's recommended restaurants.

Rooms: This room is exactly what we wanted...comfy bed, balcony and private bath with shower. (also a tv for that late at night crash)

Breakfast: OMG!! I'm not an egg person...first morning breakfast had several options: bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon or tomato, goat cheese, pesto omelette with toast (served with a wonderful variety of perserves. (cereal is available if that's your preference) This morning...french toast with apple and cheddar and maple syrup or asparagus and cheese omlette with toast...you can't lose with any of the options.

Final note: this is a quaint B & B in a good location at a very reasonable price. Add very hospitable hosts and it's a winner.

This B & B was very pleasant, albeit simple. The rooms were clean, comfortable, cozy and nicely done up. The breakfast was excellent, set up in a little cafe-like room. The owner was friendly and helpful. Though not within the walls of the old city, it's within a short walking distance and the rue St. Jean is a pleasant area to explore in it's own right. Make sure you eat at the The Hobbit restaurant down the street, it's great! Our only minor complaint was that the "cable t.v." is the most basic available, and consists mainly of french language stations... this probably wouldn't have even mattered had it not rained during most of our stay in Quebec, but since it did, better t.v. would have been nice. All in all, we can recommend this b & b!
