If you are looking for an authentic experience in old town Quebec City, look no further. Maison La Chapeliere is absolutely charming. Clean, well-appointed and conveniently located to Old Town shopping and dining, this romantic, yet equally family-friendly respite is a gem. Claude, owner and host of Maison La Chapeliere, took exceptional care to ensure our stay was not only delightful, but delicious! He prepared breakfast daily, arriving each morning at a time of our choosing with fresh fruits and options such as Crepes, French toast and Eggs on Cloud Meringue (a Claude specialty), all, of course, topped with Canadian maple syrup. As a family of five (2 parents, 2 college-age children and 1 teenager), we searched diligently for an accommodation that matched our wish list... authenticity, location, space, separate bedrooms/bathrooms, quaint yet comfortable décor. Maison La Chaperliere was the perfect choice, alongside the St. Lawrence and just an easy walk away from the sights. A Christmas tree lit the corner of the family room as we were there during the Holiday season (Quebec City knows how to throw a New Year's Eve party!). A wood-burning stove adjacent to the large farm table warmed the cozy room where we enjoyed meals and games. The kitchen is well-equipped and if you want a double espresso to start your day, Claude has just the machine, complete with frothy milk steamer. As a resource for tourist information and suggestions, Claude is invaluable. His kind manner and attention to detail assured that our every need was met.
