Gite Roya Mercantour

Our studio apartment (T1) was attached to the hosts’ home rather than in the main house. It was a good size with a practical layout, and getting to it was a bit of a challenge, though that added to the charm of the natural surroundings. The hosts were remarkably warm and friendly, and their advice was helpful. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

The gîte itself is beautiful, clean, and has a lovely garden and view. The wood-burning stove was nice, but it was desperately cold. We paid €228 for four people for one night with half-board, and I expected better. The meal was very basic and not enough, so we had to ask for more. Breakfast had no homemade or local products at all, just supermarket bread, croissants, and small jars of hotel jam. It was served from 8:30 am, far too late for hikers. The welcome also needs a lot of work. The host was unfriendly and materialistic. Before our stay, I emailed to ask whether they accepted credit cards and was told yes. When I was leaving in the morning, though, I was told they didn’t take cards there, only down in the village at their office. This gîte has plenty of room to improve.

The setting was wonderfully peaceful, and our stay felt so relaxing. The people were fantastic, warm, and welcoming, which made the surroundings even better. I’d happily come back!!! 👍

We were welcomed so warmly and got to rent equipment and do our canyoning through the same organization. The accommodation can sleep around 15 people.
