Hôtel les Vignes de la Chapelle, "The Originals Relais"

A cool reception when we arrived, but the hotel was clean. The pool and pool area are kept clean and the breakfasts are very good indeed, with plenty of choice. The hotel demanded 200€ deposit in case of damage, which they said would be refunded when we left and the room had been checked. I paid this with my UK debit card. The money was debited straight away. After two days I had still not received the money back, so I rang the hotel, who told me that because it was a UK card, I would have to wait a month. I stayed polite but was really put out with their pathetic excuses, and this left a very sour taste in my mouth. Having contacted the bank, they told me that I would have the money back within a week, which I did, but beware!

Fantastic small friendly hotel. staff were excellent, welcoming and always helpful .Bike hire available at a good price .breakfast fantastic with local produce .bar service available all day and light snacks and light meals also available. Small pool great for children and cooling off .close to a beach with rock pools .hotel surrounded by vineyards with glimpses of the Atlantic near by . short walk to a lovely town.
