Domitys La Rose du Beffroi

We rented an apartment for a weekend with our two children. It was clean and spacious, the pool was great, and breakfast was adequate. The value for money is excellent. Just remember, this isn't a hotel. The receptionist on Saturday and Sunday was professional, quick to respond, always smiling and very kind. The housekeeper was just as helpful. Although it's a senior living residence, everything went smoothly: nobody disturbed us, and the older residents we saw in the hallways were pleasant. There's secure parking inside the residence. The only things I missed were a hairdryer and one or two small stools for a booking of more than two people. I expect the receptionist would've lent me one if I'd asked. We'll come back.

A lovely senior living residence. I go there to groom the residents' small dogs.

For €23.50, the meal was very bad. I ate with a resident who was already complaining about the food, and I can see why. The vegetables were only half-peeled and much too vinegary, the main course was overcooked and too salty, the pasta was nearly mush, and the dessert was burnt. Even the broth had become a paste of vermicelli. At a restaurant, I wouldn't have paid that price for the same meal. I didn't want to encourage my mother to cut her portion down even more, so I kept quiet at the time. I understand why she's visibly losing weight. I think the cook may have changed, and I'll come back to check. Please be careful. You have some responsibility for your residents' health.

The pool is great, the apartments are bright and practical, and the included services and activities are good. We ate very well too. But the extras cost a lot. My health insurance company invited me to look around the facility. If your pension is only €2,500, living here is practically impossible since it's a private residence. What a shame.
