Hotel Restaurant les Tourelles

The location offers stunning bay views and is perfect for walking. Guests appreciate the delicious breakfast and helpful staff. However, some may find the terrace dining option limited.

I have known this place for at least 25 years but now the formula just seems a bit tired. Still love the decor which has stayed exactly the same with shades of Farrow & Ball. However the guest entrance and reception no longer feel fit for purpose as there is nowhere to stand. No one was on reception when we arrived despite phoning ahead to say when we would arrive and the barman had to disappear and find someone. Tiny scraps of paper with wifi passwords and door codes seemed very unprofessional. The new positioning of the sitting room seems to be a mistake as one of the joys was a view of the bay. Our room was tiny but pleasant, in fact the bathroom was bigger than the bedroom and the armchair precluded the use of the wardrobe. The bed was comfortable but one flat pillow was insufficient. The view of the bay was beautiful though. The dinner was very disappointing, starters okay and desserts acceptable but mains were nasty. My fish special was anything but. A dish of Three small bits of fish in a floury bechamel and a couple of carrots that is then unsuccessfully passed through a microwave does not justify an extra charge on a set menu. All 3 friends left half of their fish as they did not enjoy it. The breakfast was okay but at 15€ per person really nothing special. Only one juice (apple, don’t like it) eggs you have to boil yourself and self-catering coffee all point to cost-saving measures. The previous management team made this place a destination experience but it doesn’t feel that way now. I probably wouldn’t bother again, and I feel sad about that.

Very happy I discovered this little gem. The best aspect of it, is the staff, and human it is. They are warm and welcoming, but also everything is thought for customers l, they have a play room for kids, a microwave available for warming up baby food, a proper kids bathroom and also have a fantastic terrace for non family crowds who will want to have a drink with a great view. Room was good, a little noisy but very comfortable and big, the bath is great. We had dinner at the restaurant and although there was an issue with our deserts, they came to talk to us about delays etc which felt a good way to handle it. Food was fresh and good, plate of cheese was good cheese, definitely not bought from the supermarket. I don't think it's part of a big chain and I hope it will remain this way.
