Lagord Villas

We called to see if they had a room for one night, and so we arrived to a very friendly welcome after yet another tiring journey plus driving through Rochelle was a bit of a nightmare.. We were welcomed by the lovely Christiane and after the formalities of checking in we made our way to our allocated room. First impressions Wow! A huge room overlooking a beautiful garden, a lovely big shower, separate toilet, and a comfortable lounge area complete with a fridge stocked with some water, and a coffee machine The bed was large and very comfortable - everything was just so! Apart from the coffee cups which were far too big for the machine , and so it happened that when my husband was making a coffee, the cup now with hot coffee toppled over, scalding his hand and thus creating a large stain on the carpet. Whoever thought that putting large tea cups by a coffee machine that takes espresso size cups was a good idea? attention to detail.. Dinner in the restaurant was a farce. We waited a good while to be assisted to an available table - there were quite a few empty and unlaid tables, so when I asked the waiter for us to be seated at a somewhat larger table, his instant reaction was a very firm NO.. as it was supposed to be FOR FOUR PEOPLE - NOT TWO!! It hadn't even been laid up for 4 people.. and so I asked if he was expecting 4 people to arrive when there were so many other tables available. But the man said NO, and so NO it was.. It could only get better .. or could it? he placed us on a small empty table and then it took ages for him to arrive with the cutlery. We then waited another 15 or so minutes before he came with the menu on a blackboard,. By now we didn't even want to be in the restaurant any longer so we asked for something simple like an omelette, again the answer was a firm NO, and by this point we just decided to have some cheese and bread to share and be done with it. that too took an age to make its way to our table. All in all not a good experience so after our cheese and bread supper we upped and left and went back to our room We ended up staying for 2 nights as it was really comfortable - plus we needed a good rest, and we avoided the restaurant at all cost A very special thanks to Christiane!
