Hôtel Restaurant Les Gollandières

We were initially hesitant to book the Hotel Les Gollandieres for our one-week stay in July because of some of the Tripadvisor reviews, but we are glad we went ahead. We enjoyed this small family-run place, its excellent location near a gorgeous beach, the friendly staff, and one of the best breakfast buffets we encountered during our 3 1/2 weeks in France and Italy (although quite costly, at Euro 14 p.p.). Sure, our room, and especially the bathroom, were small but extremely functional and clean, and had everything we needed and usually like. We can see that some guests may consider the room too tiny, but one would normally not spend too much time in a hotel room in a place as beautiful and lively as the Ile de Re. We had dinner once, which was good as well and served on the peaceful terrasse near the pool. Bike rental and ample parking were an added plus. So in sum, with the right expecations, you will enjoy this peaceful place.
