Time warp with a great view
This hotel was like stepping back in time, it clearly hasn't been renovated for quite some time, it had a real 70's or 80's feel about it with orange furniture and terracotta tiles.
The hotel is around 10 minutes drive from sainte Maxime up a steep hill, I would say as long as you have a car it is ideally situated to visit sainte Maxime and st tropez.
Although the room was dated, it was clean, comfortable and had an amazing view of the surrounding countryside and st tropez bay- a real bonus!
We were staying for our anniversary and the hotel were kind enough to give us a free bottle of wine- which was much appreciated.
Other than the dated look and feel, my only other issues were that the free shuttle to sainte Maxime should continue into the evening, it finishes at 6pm ish which is no good if you want to go out for the evening. The hotel charges for parking which I personally think is ridiculous, it's in the middle of nowhere and most residents end up parking on the road which is quite dangerous. My only other gripe was that although the pool area was nice, the pool bar menu was very odd and didn't offer much variety.
Saying all this, the staff were all lovely, room comfortable and well that view could be watched all day. With a little updating it could be a real gem.

Lovely view but needs major upgrade
Stayed here in mid July 2016 for one night as it was handy for Saint Tropez (a short boat trip over the bay from Sainte Maxime - really worth it). Hotel pool is lovely but boy this place is like being back in the 1990s. For one night it was fine but I couldn't put up with the orange decor and orange floor tiles for much longer. No fridge in room or iron (get iron from reception) and the orange curtains didn't pull to. Friendly staff are a major plus, but imo it needs a major internal re-fit especially level 7

Old hotel but fair price
The Hotel it’s old but the bedroom is spacious and comfortable. It was clean. The breakfast is normal but you need to arrive before closing time because despite you were finished or not at 10:30 they start collecting the food. The receptionist that welcome us it was very nice, on the other hand the staff from the breakfast were not. The view from the bedroom is breathtaking. It’s on the top of a hill, and have all the facilities of a 4* hotel. There is nothing around the hotel therefore it’s a place for who has a car or motorcycle to go the city center. I can’t speak about the pools because I haven’t try them.

No soundproof rooms , did not sleep due to late sleepers 4 rooms Away and woke up by leaving clients with their luggage in the hallway one Floor up.

We booked a terrace suite but no two bathrooms as mentioned On the website.

Much better hotels in the neighbourhood for the money we spend
