I registered late when the restaurant was closed. The kitchen was open again without any question and I had warm food and good wine. I think it is a brilliant example of excellent service.

The location was perfect. Near the motorway. It is the perfect place to stop when travelling by car. It has a green space to walk the dog. The room was spacious and the car can be parked in front of the room. The manager was absolutely fantastic, really kind. A good breakfast for less than 6€ each (it had fresh pastries, good coffee, juice…) We arrived outside the check-in hours and our keys were left in safety box.

Wow what a delight. I was traveling all day and was so happy to have chosen this hotel. I checked-in late at night and it was raining so hard so I was delighted that they had dinner available. It was an idea to serve little pot with Hachi Parmentier or cottage pie with Duck. It was so good I almost ordered the 2nd choice just to try it. The room was amazing. It was a big studio with a patio. Would be amazing in the summer. They lovely English receptionist looked after me so well. I will be back!

We stayed at this lovely new hotel as a family and had a wonderful experience. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Although we didn’t have breakfast, it looked beautifully presented and very inviting. The location in this charming small town is peaceful and picturesque—perfect for a relaxing stay. Everything felt fresh and thoughtfully designed. As a newly opened hotel, everything is modern and in excellent condition. We truly enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t change a thing. Highly recommended!

  • Villa La Tosca

    Taussat-les-Bains, Lanton
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.6
    Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 23 reviews
    Where do I start! The house and its grounds are just beautiful and every inch has been thoughtfully decorated with the addition of carefully curated artwork, ornaments and lighting. Arrival was very smooth and we were shown around the villa and then to our room. We stayed in Le Vue which is right at the top of the house and so benefits from having 4 walls of magnificent windows. The room was light and airy and from the bed you could look out on to the bay and see the ebb and flow of the tide (I highly recommend spend the night with all the blinds up and the doors open to witness the sunrise and to listen to the waves and the hypnotising frog chorus) The hotel has an amazingly well equip kitchen that guests are welcome to use to cook their own food (or a chef can be provided on request) There is also an honesty policy so you can help your self to drinks and just tally what you have had. There is a comfy lounge area and my favourite a dark and cosy library with laddered shelf’s. The garden has a natural pool, sauna and sunbathing areas and a sweet little gate leads straight out on to the beach. I highly recommend heading to the beach and walking left to the old port where you will happen across the cutest fishing shack style restaurant which serves up amazing food. The lads there were super friendly and spoke great English. Nothing is too much trouble for Karin and her team and they really do encourage you to treat villa Tosca as a home from home. We will definitely be heading back.

    Finding a hotel with free parking was my main objective and in main parts of Bordeaux very difficult as most were pay or they had payment parking close by. So across the river Garonne was better for me lovely clean hotel free parking and excellent rooms for the cost. Only a short stay but do wish I was able to stay longer what a beautiful city plenty going on extremely busy but trams buses taxis even boat crossings but was amazed at the architecture of the city absolutely beautiful. Would stay again definitely and for longer.

    We loved the town, we enjoyed the variety of shops and restaurants. The beach was awesome. We visited Dune Pilat, climbed to the top and were astounded by the views. We would have liked to see much more of the area but our time was short. It was a taste that left us wanting to savour much much more, hopefully soon.

    What a fantastic town to visit!

    What a fantastic town to visit! Don't miss canoeing on the Dordogne but pick a company that lets you park your boat at Beynac, not 20 minutes past that town, if you plan to visit it. Don't miss Lascaux caves. Plan to spend 1-2 hours at the castles of Beynac and Castlenaud. The are both very well presented. The TI can give you a good list of taxis to take you to these towns and to Vitrac for canoes, and many of them speak English. Sarlat itself is gorgeous and fun to visit. Try to be there on a market day, an unforgettable experience.

    Saint-Jean-de-Luz is a very pleasant little town on the South-west coast of France. Its beach is nicely sheltered from the wild Bay of Biscay, making it safe and attractive. We stayed in a central hotel with easy access to some lovely bars and restaurants serving delicious local cuisine. It's an easy drive into the countryside; we climbed a mountain called Larrun, part of the Pyrenees, then easily back to St Jean de Luz for a swim and out for dinner! Also some good local shops.

    We know the area and were primarily there to visit a friend.

    We know the area and were primarily there to visit a friend. We were on a budget so had to use public transport, which turned out to be super easy to use. You can pay with cash or bank card directly on the bus (you can only buy one ticket with a bank card, however) or you can buy a loaded card with ten tickets (which you can use for more than one person) at machines at train stations, principal stops and tobacconists. Timetables are given at bus stops and are accurate. Make sure you know when the public holidays are, as these affect public transport considerably. The bus journey to Biarritz station is less than half an hour (depending on the route they take) and from there you can travel quickly and inexpensively to St Jean de Luz, Bayonne and elsewhere. The three towns I have mentioned are so close by, yet so contrasting and are all worth a visit. The number 36 bus (a little further away from the apartment - maybe 8-10 mins walk) give you access to beaches up the coast, like La Madrague. I used Google Maps a lot and found its advise re: public transport super helpful. My teenage girls loved the frothy hot chocolate at Chez Cazenave in Bayonne, https://www.chocolats-bayonne-cazenave.fr/4-nos-chocolats. On our last night, we ate at Casa Juan Pedro, http://casajuanpedro.com/en/home, in Biarrtiz's old port. They were welcoming, and the food was delicious and simply presented (our party includes seafood enthusiasts and picky eaters).
