Domaine de la Coudouliere

I really enjoy spending my holidays here. The location is ideal, with lots of things to do nearby with the kids. I recommend it!

The area is quiet and pleasant, with a few shops nearby. The pool costs extra on top of the seasonal rental: €18 a day for four people. That adds up, especially if you stay for a week or two. It would also help to have clearer information about the residence names and how to access the pool, tennis courts, and other facilities.

Parents of young children should steer clear. We couldn’t take our 18-month-old daughter into the residence pool because she isn’t potty-trained, and apparently special swim diapers aren’t allowed. We weren’t allowed to do anything in the pool. It feels like you have to be over 60 to be welcome.

The service was appalling, and hygiene seemed neglected, especially during a health crisis. The waiters were smoking and more focused on drinking than serving families. The food was poor quality too: stale bread was used for toast and salad croutons, and a €16.50 salad came with frozen nuggets cut into pieces instead of breaded chicken, all on uncut, unwashed lettuce. It’s a real shame given the estate itself is good. The restaurant doesn’t live up to its reputation.
