When you enter in this restaurant harmoniously decorated with colonial style furniture, you have a the feeling of absolute relax.
The menu offers a variety of foods, well balance between meat and fish.
Very good tastes, creatively presented.
I will be back again!
The hotel clearly relies upon its not inconsiderable old fashioned charming facade and its reasonably convenient location, albeit not a position that affords any kind of view. Sadly however that is all this hotel has to offer. Family unfriendly absolutely no accommodation is made for children on the menu (or elsewhere). The breakfast is meagre and (surprise) is charged on top, again with no price reduction for les enfants (Euros22 for two bowls of cereal...ouch). Our room was particularly poky and the walls paper thin, meaning that we got to stay up listening to the neighbour's snoring... Nice. Wifi impossibly complicated and unreliable, perhaps because our room was so far out the back. When we gave 48hours notice to check out early we were still charged an extra day with a Gallic shrug. Pleased to leave though even feeling (tired and) a bit ripped off. Le Cap Ferret is a great spot and we will be back for sure, but not to Hotel Des Pins.
This was a nice hotel near the beach. The choice of hotels is limited and the prices in Cap Ferret are so high even in low season that you cannot get value for money. All that said, this hotel is very nice, the staff very friendly.
We spent one night here in June, and thought the hotel was very good. The rooms are not massive and you have to sit a bit sideways on the loo (my husband is 6 foot 2 inches) but the room and bathroom were very clean. We did not experience any sound proofing issues (see earlier post) and I know the hotel was full as we had a late cancellation.
The building is of a period, with a lovely old conservatory extension, with black and white film photos and travel memorabilia.
The location is excellent – 2 minutes walk from the lovely sandy beach on the bay, 5 minutes to the restaurants on the jetty, and 10 minutes from the Atlantic coast. Parking is on the street outside but we had no problem finding a spot.
The owners were friendly and made us feel vey welcome. We enjoyed breakfast – a choice of cereals, basket of breads, fresh fruit, yoghurts, cakes etc.
We didn’t eat at the hotel but went back to the excellent Pinasse Café. However, we had a drink in the lovely courtyard.
Would definitely return, good value at 90€ per night in such a prime location.
we stumbled upon the hotel late in the afternoon and were instantly succumbed by the charm and genuine atmosphere, which is dwindling in this part of france. The location lets you amble about in the evenings for dinner at the restaurants on the quai. The great glassed didning hall is reminiscent of what made the town what is is today - a quintesential hideout. It's like being in santa cruz california.
