Les 12 De Larros

Great experience, lovely people and as a disabled customer, their accessible room, area and bathroom was great. I am wheelchair bound and had no problems in this hotel.

Fantastic Stay, Great Location, Great Views What a find! After the initial shock of arriving during the middle of the day on a hot, sunny public holiday - when it seemed you couldn’t get another person in the place, we were pleasantly surprised to arrive back at 4.00pm and find everyone had gone. We received a friendly welcome from reception and were directed to our apartment (No 8) on the first floor via an external spiral stairway (no lifts). I would suggest that the rooms on the first floor are better (Nos 8-12). On arrival we were asked if we wanted to order a breakfast hamper, which was delivered at an agreed time. We went for the basic one, which included orange juice, chocolate milk, coffee pods, fruit, yogurt, half a baguette with butter and jam and some croissants and pain au chocolate. More than enough! If you want it each day make sure they have noted your request. There are two large terraces one facing west towards the sea with a table and 4 chairs and a second large balcony accessed via the bedroom overlooking a small lake with buildings and restaurants around its edges with a couple of easy chairs. During our 4 night stay we sat and enjoyed the views from both balconies, and particularly enjoyed some magnificent sunsets. The apartments are wonderfully bright and airy (our first floor apartment had high vaulted ceilings with wooden beams) with original hand painted murals in each of the apartments. There is a separate WC, well lit and bright bathroom with walk-in shower, kitchenette with microwave, induction hob (2 plates), fridge and Nespresso coffee machine and kettle, sufficient crockery for 4 people and of course a knife for opening oysters! The bedroom had a large double bed which was extremely comfortable and a TV (we didn’t watch) and air conditioning (not needed during our stay). Bed linen, towels and kitchen towels were included. Wifi codes were giving at check-in and worked well throughout our visit. There are a lot of CCTV cameras covering public areas/access. There is parking outside below the building, but it is not reserved so it can be busy at certain times of the day, I also feel that apartments on the ground floor (although slightly) elevated have less privacy on one side because of the cars parking beside the building and also a foot ramp giving access to the ground floor accommodation. The location of Les 12 De Larros is fantastic. You can leave your car and walk to numerous shacks and enjoy the wonderful local Oysters washed down with some great wines. Enjoy walking out to the Statue of Christ and walk to some of the other ports. Outside of lunchtime and early evening during the second week of June the location was very quite and we were not bothered by either the carpark in front of the building or the restaurant to the side (it closes at 9.30pm). We loved our time here and fell in love with this great area and are certainly planning a return trip.

The overall experience was okay except the breakfast: 18 euros per person (even for kids) for just bread, 1 croissant, 1 fruit, 1 yogurt and a drink (!) That's 4x overpriced for what it is. Going shopping to an organic shop around with that 1 day budget gives you much better level of choice and quality for several days, which we did and that was such an improvement. For that bad surprise, I have to lower the rating. Other problems are: - the mezzanine access stairs are dangerous (extremely steep and high) - no shutters for higher windows so you get sunlight in rooms from dawn.
