Hotel itself was fine, great location, nice ambiance, friendly staff. Room was small but comfortable bed and great shower. What really let it down was the supposedly French restaurant. The food was bland and tasteless. The Mushroom starter no noticeable Madeira, sourdough not toasted. Prawn starter no Pastis. First Provençal fish stew served with uncooked fish, second totally bland. Beef Bourginion lacking any of the richness that this dish should have. Cheese board actually quite good but very small pieces. Very disappointing.
