I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The garden apartment was comfortable with a nice bed, but it felt smaller and cramped than I expected, not matching the original bastide claim. The service was fabulous, with a very warm and friendly staff. The location was convenient for walking into the city center, though it lacked a full-time attendant for pool area cleanliness. The dining experience was poor value for money and lacked attentive waiting staff. Overall, a mixed experience with some wonderful aspects but room for improvement.

The hotel offers clean and nicely decorated rooms of a decent size, but the tiny bathroom was unexpected. The service, from pool attendants to front desk staff, is excellent with top-notch customer service. The location is great, within walking distance to town in a quiet area. Dining is a real treat, although the value for money may not be the best. The facilities are of high quality, providing a comfortable stay overall.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were cozy with a small balcony overlooking the pool and gardens, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a complimentary bottle of AIX Rose. However, the tiny bathroom was a bit surprising. The service was top-notch, from check-in to check-out, and the staff were incredibly accommodating. The location was excellent, just a short walk into town, in a beautiful tranquil garden setting. The dining experience was delightful, and the local fish was a real treat. Overall, a fantastic experience with a few minor drawbacks.
