a dreamy getaway

peaceful settingoutdoor seatingold towels
I adored the peaceful village setting. It reminded me of stepping into a romance novel. the pool was lovely, and i swam even in late september!!! the breakfast at the hotel was amazing, with options for both indoor and outdoor seating.
The towels seemed old, and they had a strange smell. That was a bit off-putting!!! i hope they replace them soon.

constant noiseold towels
the room i occupied faced the street. noise persisted throughout the night. a small market nearby added to the early morning disruption. the towels had an unpleasant odor and felt old. there was no air conditioning, disappointing.

Peaceful Stay Close to the Lighthouse

kept gardeneasy accessorange juiceconvenient bike
I appreciated the hotel's setting. The garden was especially well kept. They accommodated us well with a baby. They provided a room that was easy to access with a pram. The fresh orange juice machine at breakfast was a nice touch. I loved it.
The bike rental, while convenient, did require a considerable amount of time to cycle to Saint Martin de Re. That was maybe the only thing I could point out.

The hotel provides bikes and helmets for straightforward rentals. A lovely pool is available for swimming. Guests can find both indoor and outdoor seating options for breakfast there.

The room offered a quiet, quirky layout within the traditional village setting. The bed was comfortable. I could sleep well. Amenities in the room felt very complete for my needs.

The staff proved to be cute and helpful throughout my stay. Staff training is obviously a priority. I saw the owner directly involved with making sure guests were looked after well.
