Wonderful hotel on an amazing little island
This is a wonderful hotel on an amazing little island. Our booking had a check in time of 5pm, but we arrived at 12 to drop our baggage in the luggage store to find the room was ready. We had a harbour-facing room with an amazing view of the island. The room was spacious, but best of all was a large terrace/balcony with loungers which was like another room. We did not eat at the hotel, so cannot comment, although we saw others having what looked like a very substantial cooked breakfast. Some themed meal nights.
Our room overlooked the outside dining area but did not feel exposed. We didn't use the indoor pool because beaches were so close.
Hotel is a short walk from the ferry arrival point, but it is a perfectly nice walk because there are few cars. The lower path involves some steps.
The price of the stay includes the cost of the return ferry crossing: details emailed a few days before visit. The booking form provides for a crossing from Le Brusc but we asked to travel from Sanary and this was accommodated. (Cars can only cross from Le Brusc however).
The island is delightful. It takes about an hour to walk around it. Lots of photogenic beaches (but some via rocky slopes). A few restaurants, all-day baker, a nice bar often with music staged, and a well-stocked shop that is not as expensive or unwelcoming as some reviews suggest. Lots of toilets around the island (good for oldies like us).
Our new favourite place; magical.
