Terra Rossa Museum Tours and Activities

Lovely hotel close to Le Lavandou's beach, in fact just outside le Lavandou, in a quieter part of town..

A beautifully renovated hotel in a beautiful setting. Our check-in was poor. Unhelpful, rude and not a single smile. The rest of the staff were lovely. Ate at the poolside twice. Two really average salads. Two terrible tasteless filled bagels. Both were burned. Both accompanying ‘salads’ were consisted of iceberg lettuce and a cherry tomato. We laughed, other than the price. Parking was ridiculously expensive. Outside terrace and all public areas and pool were beautiful. An easy walk into the village. Could have been a great stay, but unfortunately average.

On its own, this is a beautiful property with a novel concept. They have made villas in what has a homey feel. But if you don’t take all the rooms in any villa, you may very well find yourself with neighbours in a room within the villa, though they will not be in the space you are occupying. We hade 2 of the 3 rooms in the villa. So we had the living room and kitchen space with our 2 bedrooms and a really nice balcony. But the 3 room in the villa was rented out to others. They have their own entrance that was not interfering with our entrance. But we could hear them and they us. The other issue that we faced was the parking. We kept having to be moved around and some of the guests were quite offensive if you happened to park in the same space they can lay a claim to by virtue of the proximity of their room to that space. I think the management could have done a better job at organising all that. There’s only one restaurant. They have a Thai theme. Frankly, it’s one of the nicer restaurants in the area and food was really good. But forget about variety. Breakfast is very limited. We stayed for 8 days in the property. At some point, we went to the nearest supermarket to make our own breakfast. It’s an open air restaurant, both breakfast and lunch/dinner. If it rains, you’re gonna need to find alternative arrangements. The hotel has a place for its guests at the beach. You have to book the chairs and they don’t give you towels. You’ll have to buy them.
