VTF Le Domaine de Françon

The property is part of a French chain of holiday villages. It is a very familial, francophone atmosphere with clubs for kids and teens. Almost all the staff spoke good English so communication was not a problem. Nice pool area. Good-value, quality food at mealtimes although you have to book the night before if you are not on half-pension.

Rated 7 only for the territory. The location (although a bit far from the city center) and the bar with a terrace were nice. The territory is beautiful and the air is amazing!

The house we stayed in was quite old. While the outdoor area is well-maintained, the houses themselves are not, there was dust and cobwebs everywhere. We didn’t have any air conditioning or fans in our unit. Also, the smell inside the main building, especially at the reception and bar, was quite unpleasant.

Calm and picturesque place. The apartment is small and without great luxuries but has everything enough for a peaceful stay in Biarritz. The reception staff are extremely friendly.

nothing to report

Amazing location for kids, 9 and 12, and they loved the kids club. Plenty of outdoor space for them to run about in and great beaches just a few minutes drive away.

Unfortunately the pool wasn't open in October half term which we didn't realise when we booked. Kids were very upset about this at first, but luckily enjoyed the kids club enough to make up for it.

Fantastic location with fabulous walk to the beach.

Dogs are not allowed! The room was hot and there were no fans which might be a problem in the heat of the summer?

The period untouched features of the propertyThe kindness and efficiency of the staffThe walks around in the forest

The bright colour of some plastic chairs in one of the terraces

Beautiful buildings and grounds. Simple but very good food, limited choice, but all fresh and well prepared. Lovely staff. Great location for accessing the whole of Biarritz. Super pool and steam room.

The fact that my French was inadequate

Very poor

Damp room with fleas, flies and an ant infestation.

The surroundings and landscape and also the main french typical castle

The bathdroom didnt have any shower gel or shampo, and neither the kitchen to clean the dishes.

Peaceful surroundings

No kettle for teaBed too hard

Set in a beautiful location surrounded by mature trees and a nice outside pool

Needs a bit love, the apartments are in need of some general maintenance work. Gutters blocked , timber Facia deteriorating, ridge tiles missing, needs investment, has the potential to be so much better.

A great location for Biarritz and surrounding areas, out of the bush centres but a 5 minute drive. It was perfect for us, quiet and peaceful after a day of exploring and walking around busy attractions. The pool was great and much more than expected for a smaller site.

Accomodation, food and green spaces

No bike renting. No shop for elemental food and drinks.

The château was perfect. The accommodation was comfortable, clean and spacious.The staff are amazing. Helpful, knowledgeable and exceptionally friendly. Thank you for making our stay so welcoming and enjoyable. The food was excellent.

Very friendly staff and excellent meals. A hotel with historical character and charming.

A littlebit too far from the beach. Sometimes bad smell in the stairhall and the rooms. Towels were not cleaned/replaced every day.

The location was just superb nestled in a forest leading down to a lake and the beach! Everything was really old style french and really gave my son and I a true taste of the region! We even delved into a bit of French speaking!Just stunning..

Would have loved a tour of the place in English as I found the tour hard to follow! Really nothing though we didn’t like - it was a true French experience!Don’t change?
