    Testimonials

    J’ai organisé un événement au Sourire de Passy pour un groupe de 30 clients et prospects internationaux grands comptes. Il était important à cette occasion de montrer un lieu hors du commun et “secret” pour une clientèle qui connaît déjà bien Paris et ses lieux événementiels. L’événement a été magique : l’accueil chaleureux, le service impeccable et le dîner préparé par le chef, délicieux. Nos invités sont partis enchantés. C’était comme dans une maison privée, avec le souci du détail. Vous pouvez faire confiance Ilhame et son équipe pour la réussite de votre événement.

    I surprised my girlfriend with a trip to Paris where I wanted to propose to her at Ilhame’s beautiful Sourire B&B. She supported me by organizing a delicious breakfast on the rooftop with classical music and wonderful flowers. It was an unforgettable experience! Ilhame and her whole family have been very kind and helpful! We enjoyed our stay in the beautifully decorated accommodation at all times and instantly felt like home! We would definitely come back!

    Nous sommes tombés sous le charme du Sourire de Passy dès notre première visite et nous ne regrettons absolument pas d’y avoir fêté notre mariage ! Tout était parfait : le lieu, la superbe terrasse, la disponibilité et la discrétion des maitres d’hôtel. Le cocktail dinatoire préparé par le chef a fait l’unanimité. Un endroit plein d’élégance et simple à la fois dans lequel nous nous sommes sentis comme chez nous.
    Ilhame et Patrice nous ont accueillis de manière très chaleureuse et ont été très réactifs tout au long des préparatifs mais également pendant la soirée. De plus, les chambres sont spacieuses, très confortables et décorées avec goût. Un grand merci à toute l’équipe pour avoir contribué à cette merveilleuse journée !

    Excelente ubicacion, caminando esta lo mas lindo de paris es una zona segura, hay un supermercado y tiendas de viveres cerca . Celebré mi cumpleaños y aunque pedí tulipanes no habian por la temporada. Quedo bonito todo. Gustave fue lo mejor de ahi hablaba español y es un excelente anfitrion por él nos sentimos muy acogidos en ese lugar el nos guió a sitios turisticos con todo detalle. Un lugar muy limpio. Todo es super limpio mi hijo que es alergico no estornudó nunca. Nos dejan quedar las maletas fuera del check-in, eso es super.

    Nous avons réservé l’ensemble des chambres au Sourire de Passy à l’occasion de notre mariage, pour deux jours. Le premier jour était dédié au cocktail post mairie accueillant 40 personnes. S’en est suivi un barbecue avec les témoins et amis proches le soir (20 personnes assises en terrasse) qui ont dormi le soir. Le deuxième jour était dédié à la préparation avant la cérémonie religieuse. Nous avons pu faire venir une coiffeuse qui nous a préparé sur la terrasse, ainsi qu’un photographe. Un lieu magnifique et chaleureux, des hôtes aux petits soins qui nous ont permis d’accéder à l’ensemble du lieu pour notre préparation. Un barbecue réalisé à la perfection, un succulent et copieux petit déjeuner, un service irréprochable. C’est une très belle découverte. Je le conseille à tous les mariés, c’est un havre de paix ou vous pourrez vous détendre avec vos proches avant l’agitation du grand jour. Vous pourrez également faire de magnifiques photos. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter pour fêter notre premier anniversaire de mariage! Encore merci à Ilhame pour sa gentillesse et son hospitalité.

    We booked a wine and cheese tasting in the “cave” in the building. It was superb! Alex presented us with a variety of pairings and kept things lively with great anecdotes and a completely accessible style. I can’t recommend enough booking a session with him!

    Tout d’abord MERCI !
    Vous avez su créer le mariage intime que nous nous imaginions.
    De ma préparation en temps que future mariée à la danse finale enflammée au petit matin avec nos invités!

    L’hôtel est superbe et a fait son effet auprès de nos invités, ainsi que la qualité du service et des mets que nous avons pu déguster (mention spéciale au chef pour sa flexibilité au vu des différents régimes alimentaires!)

    Vous êtes des hôtes de grande qualité et nous ne pouvons que recommander vos services!

    Merci mille fois pour ces souvenirs précieux !

    A nugget in the heart of Paris!
     
    We had the pleasure of organizing a professional event for 30 people in this magnificent private mansion. Everyone fell in love with this atypical place, with its warm and neat decoration which gives the delicious impression of spending a stay in a house of a very good family, in a very beautiful countryside. Because what makes this place incredible is its magnificent tree-lined terrace where there is a winter garden for less sunny days.
     
    The welcome is extraordinary with kindness and professionalism. The services are of very high quality with a super fresh and delicious catering cooked by a Chef who officiates on site. We had the chance to enjoy his talent as a grill master during a barbecue set up on the rooftop.
     
    A big thank you to Ilhame and his team who welcomed and spoiled us all day. We will come back!
