Hotel L Orangeraie

We visited La Croix Valmer as part of a roadtrip. Looking for a hotel for the night, we saw the photos of L'Orangeraie. I have to admit, we were a bit sceptical, if the hotel would live up to expectations, as the price seemed very low. We were positively surprised. Everything about the hotel was simply divine - comfortable, beautiful and spotlessly clean. The former monastery is in a very quiet location, yet close to village and beach. The lovely gardens and impressive driveway welcomes the guests. Ample secure parking is available. All staff were very efficient and fast, yet friendly and helpful. The public areas and the rooms have been recently renovated with a lot of love and a great eye for quirky details. Everything is fresh, airy, light and inviting. The rooms are spacious with high ceilings, the beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms spacious, well equipped with very good water pressure in the showers. As we were tired from the drive, we decided to have dinner at the hotel restaurant - a great choice. The dishes prepared with local ingredients were very fresh and very, very good as was the selection of wines available. Again, service was great - efficient, attentive and friendly. There is also a large and well kept pool with spacious lounge area - plenty of sunbeds of good quality available. All in all - a fantastic find that we will recommend to friends and family and will come back to!
