We had a pleasant stay at La Bastide Bleue, with generally friendly and helpful staff. The charming outdoor restaurant area was a definite highlight and created a lovely atmosphere.
The accommodation, which consisted of two rooms, was perfectly adequate. However, there were not enough hooks or hangers for clothes and towels. There was a heated towel rail in the bathroom, but it was not sufficient for four people.
The indoor restaurant was simple, as was the breakfast, and the overall feeling was more like a charming bed and breakfast than a traditional hotel. Unfortunately, the way we were treated by one female member of the restaurant staff affected one of our evenings. She came across as sharp, tense and easily irritated, which made us feel that we had to tread carefully to avoid saying or doing something that might lead to an uncomfortable situation. This affected the atmosphere and made it difficult for us to relax.
Overall, La Bastide Bleue is a charming and personal place to stay, with a lovely outdoor area and a wonderful atmosphere. However, the service in the restaurant was inconsistent and could at times have a negative impact on the experience.
