Parc Victoria, hôtel et appartements, Saint-Jean-de-Luz

We needed a break after a long day and spotted this Relais et Château in the area. We went for a drink on the pool. The secret champagne cocktail was good. It is a quite a charming place but staff and service could be better.

Stayed for one night while on a car trip in the Pays Basques. The hotel must have been a turn of 19th century grand residence that was subsequently converted. Very nice property surrounded by old trees and lots of greenery. The location is a few blocks away from the waterfront which may be not the best for the views but on the other hand it's less busy. Friendly and helpful staff, excellent breakfast.

We booked this hotel knowing nothing about it except that it was just outside saint jean de luz and well reviewed. We were enchanted by the welcome we were given, our stay, the kindness of the staff and the beautiful surroundings and gorgeous room. Initially we had planned to take our meals in town but after our first magical breakfast on the terrace we were won over and we dined in the hotel’s marvellous restaurant on every night of our stay. A real gem which we have recommended to friends and to which we hope to return.

When trying to decide where to stay for one night along the southwest coast of France near the Basque Country, we narrowed our choice to Biarritz and St. Jean-de-Luz. The fabled Biarritz is of course all about the jet set, while the more subdued, yet no less picturesque St. Jean-de-Luz, had a decidedly more down to earth vibe, not to mention a fab village with countless indigenous shops and eateries. We chose the latter and specifically this Chateaux et Relais property, which, while older than others we've stayed at in Europe, offered us a private escape amidst lush grounds behind a gated entrance. If you're looking for something modern and sleek, Hotel Parc Victoria is probably not for you. If you'd like refined, comfortable and classic, then you'll be smitten with this property. (Think Renoir, Seurat and Van Gogh versus Twombly, Koons and Hockney.) Our room was small, but had a charming view over the village rooftops. Again, it didn't have all the technology you might expect from a five-star property, but there were electric outlets so we could adequately charge our devices. The grounds were well-planted, even in early November, with private cottages, a dining house and heated pool. And the hotel was less than 10 minutes by foot to the seaside village. Again, my photos accompanying this review will do more justice to the hotel than my prose. Bottom line: if you're looking for a private escape in one of the most charming villages in France, Parc Victoria will more than satisfy. It also seemed especially well-suited for family with children.

Reservé un apartamento del 4 al 6 de julio para disfrutar de un fín de samana con Mi marido, hijo, nuera y un bebé de 9 meses. En plena ola de calor no tuvimos aire acondicionado en todo el apartamento. Hacía un calor axfisiante y no nos lo resolvieron hasta unas horas antes de marcharnos. Pero más de la mirat de la estancia sin llamar a los técnicos. Un desastre de organización
