Porte-de-Benauge Vacations from $1,097

We booked this after reading reviews from others. The accommodation is very simple but met our needs perfectly. It is very clean, has a comfortable bed, a handy little kitchenette which was well stocked with essential implements. It has a terrific grocery store right around the corner. Le Cite Du Vin is a short walk away. The tram was within a minutes walk and we were a quick ride from the old city. It was a stones throw from the waterfront and the bridge to the other side of the river was right outside the door. I would say this is an excellent, affordable place to stay and would do it again. Also a few tram stops fom the cruise ships.

Its outside of Bordeaux across the river in a farm like setting. Its peaceful and gorgeous with an excellent staff!

charming hotel and close to the dunes, it was worth it! Would return. Please note, the rooms are rather small but comfortable.

Good location to explore the city on foot.

This was the 2nd ( and probably last ) time we stayed at Domaine. The 2 bedroom cabins are quite nice, cleaned daily (including a mop of all floors) and restocked. The family pool is small ( about 20 metres) but quiet in early July, so no problems getting space. The fancier pool is for adults only and has a fee for use ( about €20 I think). As we had our children with us it wasn’t really an option to visit. The most disappointing thing was the restaurant, which claims to be open until 2300. We had a long day in cap ferret and pitched up for dinner at 2000, asking if we could quickly shower and come for dinner. We were told this was impossible by the staff. They said they were full for dinner. I counted about 15 empty tables inside and out on the deck, so covers for approximately 30-40. We tried to ask if we could squeeze in - not for us, but for the kids. We got the impression they just couldn’t be bothered. There are limited options for food elsewhere nearby ( as it wasn’t yet high season) so we had to quickly scramble to another place before they shut too. Really disappointing. Overall cap ferret is very nice- Truc Vert beach is fantastic and only 10 minutes drive. L’horizon beach is another 10 mins further on, but then only 5 mins from all the nice restaurants in proper cap ferret. Ther air con in the hotel was ok to good, especially for France.
