Saint-Julien-de-Mailloc Vacations from ￥276,159

The property is unclearly labeled as having air conditioning. They have it in the lobby, but not all the rooms. This was a very important variable when we booked the hotel. Additionally, when we called the front desk about other issues, they never picked up the phone. We tried three times after letting it ring for well over a minute before having to go downstairs to speak to them directly. Will never go back.

Service Attentionné un plus

We were staying in La Suite which was part of the spa building. This turned out to be an interesting couple of rooms which bizarrely included a football table in sitting room. The loo was separate from the bathroom where the bath was a corner bath with a shower beside. It was a little dark as the colour scheme was turquoise and grey elephant wallpaper! But the bed was comfortable and we slept well. The hotel buildings and gardens are beautiful and traditional Normandy half timber style, typical of the area. Dinner nearly didn't go so well as we seemed to be invisible to the staff when we sat on the terrace. However, once we moved inside and explained our reason the service improved and the meal was good. Overall it was good stay and we enjoyed the swimming pool and sunbed area too.

A classic hotel with all services and personal care that you would both want and expect from somewhere born of the Belle Epoque. Well worth the cost and a visit to experience. Attention to the paintwork in some external areas is needed.
