    The reception area/sitting area closed at 9pm, so not possible to use the comfortable reading space. parking costs inside as well as renting bikes was very expensive.

    We really liked Ivette :) She was so kind and the rest of the stuff as well! The pool area was best and clean and the beds were super comfortable!

    The fact that there was no restaurant on site, nor, indeed, anywhere within walking distance. This meant that we had to drive (not very ecological) to a town 7 or 8 kms away.

    The room was lovely and it was a very peaceful environment. The breakfast was lovely.

    being expected to pay for parking when already paying hundreds for our accommodation was rather insulting and a clear and unnecessary money grab. This should be addressed by the owners (and stopped) as leaves a bad impression on an otherwise delightful stay

    perfect room with outside patio a huge bonus, where we were served dinner one evening from the on-site takeaway service. friendly, helpful staff

    For us the price is on the upper level and it needs to be considered that parking is 16 € per night

    Beautiful Hotel with a lot of love in the Details. Very friendly staff. Home made Yoghurt and Marmelades for breakfast. We also loved the ecological aspect in the House such as composting, biodegradable soaps etc..

    Price of the breakfast 18 euros for a continetal breakfast very expensive, although very nicely laid out and good selection. We were lead to believe that the car parking was 6 euros and in fact it was 15 per night !! We had to pay a 200 euro deposit for the room , Iv never paid that before even in a top hotel in London!! I don't expect to pay a deposit that is more than the cost of the room. not for one night anyway.

    breakfast was good, nice pool, sun loungers

    Beautiful and nicely located hotel. Just mind the extras.

    You have to pay extra for trivial things, like parking and (if you're not staying in a duplex) plates and kitchen utensils. Especially the €40 per day for a parking space for charging (Tesla charger) seemed extortionate. You can just park on the street in front of the hotel and charge your car in lots of places on the island. The hotel doesn't really have a restaurant, but they offer breakfast and something from a deli for supper. We just ate out.

    We booked a duplex room for a family of 4 and it was a good size, very nice, very clean, everything you want for a family. The pool is large enough and well maintained. Overall the hotel leaves a well maintained, clean impression. It is located on the quiet side of a quiet town next to a vineyard.

    Really nothing to dislike. We cycled easily to La Flotte in the evenings but a wee way if you’re not fit. Shelf on headboard is a design fault but hardly a “thing”. Some normal tea bags and some UHT milk would have been much appreciated in the room pack but again, really minor.

    Great launch pad for the island but also quick to enter and exit when on a short stay. V friendly staff, low key, simple but all you could need, all amenities, pedal bikes to hire on site and lovely and quiet. Breakfast was spot on - variety and lovely open room. €15 to park in gated area but some places outside.

    The price for the electric vehicle charged. It was mentioned in a survey as 32 euro per night, whereas i was charged 40euro. Swimming pool is relatively small. Plenty of bycicle to take but was told "lets see how many we get back in return tomorrow". The fact that you need to pay for hammam, sauna etc. It should be free.

    Overall location, easy to go everywhere with few minutes by car. Welcome.service

    Part of the charm is its quietness but it may be impactful. If you arrive by public transport, as we did, it’s a 20 min walk to the bus stop to get to and from La Rochelle. It’s on the outskirts of the village, 10 mins walk to the bakery/ cafe / restaurant. So hire a bike!

    I liked the staff, breakfast, spacious suite, the environmental focus of the hotel, the hot tub, the facility to hire bikes, tranquil location.it’s close to a beach (but not the sandy beaches)

    We first got a “garden” view room. This room has a bicycle parking view! We complained and quickly got the other great room. Don’t offer these rooms as garden view for these prices.

    The rooms were large. We had a room looking over the vineyards with a nice terrace. Breakfast was excellent.
