We spent the weekend there with my mother, a birthday present, and what can I say, we were able to leave here rested. Everything was great, the rooms are very beautiful and quite large (maybe add a hook next to the shower for the towel?), the magnificent view, the area itself is calming, the animals are really a plus. Seeing the gentleman who comes to feed the pigs around 9 a.m. when we are having breakfast is amusing (we see the pigs running after this person and following him 😅) Besides, the breakfast is up to par in this area, caramel homemade, the pancakes are excellent as well as the homemade fig jam too. And it's not the only homemade product but everything is excellent, a great choice for everyone (sweet, savory, vegetarian, gluten-free). The spa is relaxing, impressive to see the snow fountain! But the big plus of this area I would say is the restaurant. We went there both evenings, the starter with the perfect egg and the main with the octopus casserole were just exquisite... A real delight, I absolutely recommend the restaurant, the service is perfect. Additionally, everyone is kind, caring and helpful. The small living room is so pleasant that you could spend the day there! Most of the people who come to the ecodomain live far away so a car is essential (especially with luggage) but after that it's not that far on foot from the city and even less from the sea! I will come back with pleasure, for the night or even just a meal!

The location of the establishment is ideal. Neither too far from the city (<1 hour on foot), nor too close, therefore quiet. The place is incomparable to other hotel establishments, the farm, the vegetable garden, the garden, the games, the swimming pool (without towel): everything is at the top. Perfect for strolling and relaxing! For the residence part, the rooms are comfortable and complete but very dated (shower which sends jets in all directions except the right one, cracks, clogged toilet, traces of infiltration on the ceiling and mold under the French window). The view of the garden and the sea remains very pleasant and relaxing, it's an excellent point! The breakfast is good, served in a pleasant space, although we would have preferred access to the patio... Good selection of drinks and food, gluten and dairy free options. A major problem, however: how can we offer "No. 2" eggs (industrial. raised on the ground) when chickens roam right next door on the farm and the estate claims to be eco-responsible??? We were amazed! The response from reception did not reassure us. “The eggs from our hens are intended for sale for the market and are not for breakfast!”... Too bad to end the stay on a bad note...
