Hostellerie La Farandole

The location is very nice. Had a room with a terrace facing the sea. Super view!

Two days in a row there was an electric cut in the kitchen so breakfast was delayed. Should have been fixed after first day…

The location is beautiful, the rooms lovely and breakfast very nice, although expensive for a buffet

Terrible mini bar, for such a nice restaurant, the wine was nasty and cheap (despite being in Provence!) and all I had to eat were Pringles or a Snickers bar. No nice mixers for the spirits and no milk for tea or coffee in the morning. There was a strained atmosphere to the staff, as if no-one was very happy working there, even though it was quiet

Amazing setting and beautiful structure. Big clean and modern room! Fabulous breakfast. Also. The staff could not have been nicer! They went out of their way to way to accommodate us, including letting us use the rooftop jacuzzi a bit after hours. We woke up to the sound of breaking waves and the unusual sight of surfers down the beach due to a rare storm.

We like it all.

Nice clean rooms Very nice pool area Very helpful staff on the reception (speaks good English as well which was important bonus for us)

Our room was very generously sizes and nicely decorated - but then it had disproportionally small wardrobe and bath clearly suffered from some water damage (sealant basically disintegrated at the bottom); also poor soundproofing. Outdoor pool area is very nice, but the water is quite chilli (at least mid-September) - so more like a water feature than a pool. Technically there is a beach right next to hotel, but it’s not very nice - ok for a quick dip (once you find the way amongst rocks on the bottom), but not really one for beaching. Breakfast is paid extra, and almost everything apart from bread and butter and coffee is yet another extra. Indoor pool/spa is paid extra, and they mixed up our booking - although in the end didn’t matter as we had to cancel. A little too far from everything; maybe less of a problem if you travel by car or happy to eat in the their restaurant (we had a dinner once but the food was just not to our taste). In the end we had a good stay, but it didn’t really wowed us Maybe if you splash on the premium room and spa you can get a really luxurious experience. But it felt more like a good 3-star hotel which is trying too hard to be posh and too focused on additional services.
