La Bégude Saint-Pierre

I stayed for 5 or 6 nights solo. I had a totally peaceful room, beautifully clean, equipped with clean, modern materials respectful of the historic building. I ate in the restaurant every night, and every night was a delight. On the last night, having eaten my way through the menu previously, the chef made me his own invention of wafer thin raw scallop slices infused with herbs. A triumph. And then an original main course too. Everything was perfect, the service personal and attentive. Will go there again.

Booked on a last-minute website, we enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It's alongside a busy road but the noise, despite always being there, didn't really bother us after a while. We had a small room with a lobby area which gave a little more space. It was clean and welcoming, with a fridge, safe and a welcome note from the owners. The bathroom could do with some updating for such a slick hotel. It was difficult to get in and out of the bath (where the shower was) because of the way the shower screen and wall were situated. There was no bath mat and nothing to hold on to to help. The bath was quite slippery! The pool area was fabulous. The sunbeds were strong and comfortable and weren't busy. Each one was provided with towels, a table and there were plenty of parasols to go round too. We had dinner in the (very quiet) restaurant one evening and it was marvellous but a little out of our price range for the rest of the week. Breakfast was lovely too, with a large selection of foods on offer and plenty of coffee to drink. Every member of staff we encountered was kind and courteous. A real credit to the team. WiFi - a bit hit and miss for us. We ended up using our phones in the room because the WiFi really didn't stretch that far. We had hoped to stream a movie in the evening but the signal wasn't strong enough.
