Le Hameau des Pesquiers Ecolodge & Spa, Curio Collection by Hilton

Generally, we very much enjoyed our stay. On the plus side, the room was enormous, very comfortable bed, lots of strong coffee pods with the Nespresso machine, free soft drinks in the mini bar. The food was excellent, but the portions were enormous, which meant by the time we’d eaten a starter, we didn’t really have room for our main courses. After the free nibbles with our aperos, we should have shared a starter and a main course. There is a small spa but it was very pleasant. But everything had to be switched on which meant neither the sauna nor the steam room reached a desired temperature. Staff were all extremely pleasant and helpful. Our room was in the grounds and not the main building. While we were there, we had extremely heavy rain, and the paths could not cope with the drainage. As we walked to reception and our car, the path would sometimes sink into pools of rainwater. But the biggest negative has to be the €18 charge for parking, where there is absolutely nowhere else to park. Yes, I have read there is an overnight guard, and great for local employment - but at €18. Really.

Great place, ideal for quiet retreats. Environment protection is present all around.
