Great find - very special villa, modernised while keeping all its charm. Perfect for the beach. Treated like royalty. Very comfortable : beds, living quarters. And a fantastic breakfast with a view of the bassin.

Stayed here for three nights for a business seminar. The villa is superbly located and you feel right at home immediately. Service was impeccable. I did not have a big room and would probably pay attention to selecting the right room next time. Food and drinks were good and our meeting room cosy and effective.

Response from Direction-Tosca, AGM at Villa La Tosca
A handsome house on the bassin but no real sea views, because most of the day it is mud. Ground floor rooms have very low ceilings. Top floor 'sea view' room is very nice but is accessed by multiple flights of stairs - bathroom on different floor from the bedroom. Forest view room unattractively furnished, cheap beds and old bathroom - chipped tiles in shower. Good restaurants close by. Staff very friendly. Good breakfast.

Dear Tim, We would like to thank you for taking the time writing us this review about your experience at Villa la Tosca. We are sorry to read that you were disappointed by your experience. We understand that you made your check-in late in the evening when it was already dark, but we are sure that you could not miss out the stunning sea view we have, as the Villa is located directly facing the Bassin d’Arcachon with direct access to the beach. Please accept our apologies for mother nature providing us 4 Ties a day (2 up and 2 down every 6 hours), most of our guests appreciate both nature landscape while staying with us. As for the room description they are clear with no hiding information on our website as well as all other sites. Thank you for your understanding and we really hope to have the pleasure welcoming you again soon for a new successful experience this time. Kind regards, Villa la Tosca

The reception was very special and the personnel even prepared us a dinner even though we had not asked for it in advance. They explained us the history of the place in many occations and made us feel very welcome and special. No matter La Tosca seemed to be really a wonderful high class hotel, they did not have Sauterne to serve us with fois gras. But again, we did not inform about it beforehand. That must be an excellent place for wedding and wedding reception as well as all festivities that would need a special, unique and peaceful place.

Response from Direction-Tosca, general manager at Villa La Tosca
I've been to many, but this one is my favorite. When you arrived at the gate, you don't know that beside it, you will find (hiden), this gorgeous house. 8 bedrooms, the perfect choice for our friend team, nothing to do, you arrived and you just enjoy the time. I felt like home, with a big house, and a perfect design: furnitures come from all around the world, with an asiatic touch, I like it! The bedrooms are perfect, and where we stay at the top of the Villa La Tosca: the view at 360°, and you can see the low and hight tight of the Bassin d'Arcachon. Aurelien, the host, is here with discretion: he answer to all your request, all the time with the smile. The garden with the natural swimming pool is gorgeous! What I can say: I want to go again!!!!

That's it really. A truly unusual space with great food and friendly, attentive, flexible and unobtrusive staff. We arrived very early, before lunch and were fed magnificent cheese and charcuterie platters whilst our room was expedited.

Just come back from a 4 day stay with friends at this villa and had an absolutely wonderful time! We were very lucky with the weather as I did not expect March to be so warm. We had lovely sunshine as if it were the summer, but not the tourists! The staff there are very welcoming and could anticipate the smallest details to make everything perfect. Eg. wet towels when we came back from a trip, putting white wine we left lying out back in the fridge..etc. The rooms are all unique and magnificent in their own right. The common area was very homely and we never felt we were in a hotel, it was like living in someone's (a very rich someone) home. The open kitchen is welcoming and there are always staff around to fix you something to eat. We wanted to eat in and therefore had home cooked food every night and 2 different chefs were arranged for variety. Steak Tartare, Seafood platter, grilled fish, pigeon and decadent desserts....sorry, must stop here before I drool again. We hired a car at the airport and drove to Bordeaux, St. Emilion and the Bassin on 3 of the days we were there. All an easy commute. On the last day we hired a boat and went around the Bassin and ran down the sand dunes like teenagers. Totally fun. One thing is you must get back before sunset, in our case around 7pm (clocks just put forward last weekend) to see the magnificent sunset. We saw it all 4 days we were there and were completely mesmerised each day. Will definitely go back again, next time taking family that I wish to spoil.
