Sainte-Livrade-sur-Lot Holidays from £167

For an aparthotel, the room facilities were too basic. The kitchen facilities in the room were not sufficient. There were ample plates and cutlery, but no room to cook or to place the toaster and kettle supplied. So cooking was very difficult indeed. Unfortunately, the nearest restaurant was a 20 minute walk away. They only service the room each week, which is not unusual for an aparthotel, but the also didn’t supply any broom or other cleaning equipment. This is an okay place to stay, as it is only 30 minutes walk from the city centre and is served by a tram stop very nearby. But you will be staying in an unserviced hotel room.

Great hotel, exactly what we needed in the heat! Worked well for our family of 5

A well located hotel, only a 10 minute walk from the train station. Lovely staff. More interesting than the usual chain hotels. Funky rooms with comfortable beds. Would stay again.

The hotel is okay at best. Staff was extremely rude and not helpful. Room was not clean, especially toilets and bathroom. Does not really fits the 4* claim.

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.
