This is a beautiful well kept property with extraordinary hospitality extended by the Proprietor Alain and his wife and son and staff. They offer a very traditional French experience, from the accommodation to the aperitif to the petit dejeuner. It was magnificent and we cannot wait to visit again. We wouldn't change a thing about this hotel or this visit!

Tout confort, avec trucs améliorables et rires.
Juste un samedi soir au dimanche matin, pour être bien logés pour la nuit sur la rive nord du bassin d'Arcachon.
On a apprécié le "tout confort" de la chambre la plus simple.
Hôtel cosi et original. Le patron nous a fait rire avec son sketch au petit déjeuner. Humour lourd et éclatant pour tout le monde. La salle de petit déjeuner était une salle de "potes" et de clients mélangés qui bruyait comme show comique.
C'était vraiment chouette
