Lovely place and people but a few drawbacks
Overall, we had a lovely stay at Domaine de Pradelle and we leave this review after talking to everyone who stayed that week.
The hosts and pool are absolutely fantastic. We received a warm and friendly welcome when we arrived after a long journey. They were on hand if we needed them but left us be when needed.
The pool here is stunning. Cool, clean and quiet, exactly what we wanted and needed during hot weather.
The house it’s self was great. It is much bigger than in the photos we saw and is well equipped. The terrace is fantastic and gas bbq makes things really easy if you want to use it.
Many things point to a 5* review but given the price we paid there are a few bits that prevent that.
Mainly, we found that the upstairs floors in the old farmhouse were incredibly noisy. I know it is authentic and a genuine farmhouse but we found that anyone moving around to use the bathroom or toilet upstairs, regardless of how quiet they were trying to be woke the whole house up.
One proper bathroom for a 5* property is a stretch and we found the lack of privacy with just gauze curtains on the doors to be problematic. The WiFi is also only at the pool
and tricky to access.
Overall, this is a lovely property with a great pool but given the price we paid (in August) we would not rush to stay again. If you want a quiet place with a small group and a pool this is the pace for you. The hosts are lovely and clearly care about the property. If we felt they could have solved any of the issues we encountered we would have spoken to them.
We just found the noise from the upper floors prevented us from proper sleep and so may think twice before staying again.
