The breakfast was very decent with fruit, bacon and eggs, the bed was best. Very early check in and very good service. Sand beach nearby, that was what I really enjoyed. I tried some nice meals at le spices rendez-vous, located close to the hotel.

A charming old hotel in the very charming location with affable staff. I'm glad that getting wheelchair accessible room was not a problem. The shops and boutiques were right next door. They had an early check-in too.
