Au Berceau de Bernadette

This is a small, quiet, and cozy bed and breakfast for pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of our Lady of Lourdes. Our room was large with a small kitchenette and a nice shower. The place also has a small and cozy praying chapel. The owner is a caring and friendly lady that is always willing to help and make your stay easy and peaceful. Take into consideration that during winter the city is almost empty and most of the shops and restaurants are closed so there are limited options for dining.

Very close to the Basilica -- just a few minutes walk. So convenient. And shopping for holy water bottles, rosaries, and other mementos of Lourdes is right outside the front door.

I did not realize this was once the home of St. Bernadette’s uncle and it was not a hotel. There was a staircase leading to the room- difficult to haul my suitcase, toilet was separated from shower and sink, need to step from toilet area to sink/ shower area to wash hands. No TV, or phone in room- amenities that I usually expect when traveling; I should have read more of the description of the property before making a decision to make my booking.

Location is at the center of it all. Walkable to the Grotto and to all the restaurants and other attractions. Easy check in and out. The room was spacious, clean, tastefully decorated, with clean and comfortable sheets and towels. The simple breakfast was delicious and the in room coffee machine was convenient. The owner Elisabeth is accommodating, very kind and friendly and always willing to give advice and suggestions. This property is a gem!!

Staff are excellent. We arrived at airport midnight, no taxis or uber around, not knowing what to do we contacted the hotel reception, the hotel staff went out of their way and arranged for a taxi to come pick us up. Just an example of their excellence.

Excellent facilities, with an Oratory where Mass is said twice a week, and it is only 5 minutes walk from the Sanctuary. Elisabeth manages the property very well and is always available to answer queries.

Good economy option and very close to the Sanctuary. Basic but sufficient.

The apartment was Ideal for me, comfortable and spacious. The location was perfectly situated, just a 5 minute walk to the Domain and Sanctuaries of Lourdes. Elisabeth, who runs the Résidence Bernadette, looks after all the guests and provides a wonderful spiritual environment for pilgrims. I highly recommend it and feel blessed to have stayed there.
