La Casa aux 2 saveurs sur Gemenos

10/09/2024: We spent one night with a gourmet dinner “Discovery Menu”. On the hotel side, the Provençal bastide is simply magnificent. It feels like a setting worthy of Marcel Pagnol! The garden, the swimming pool and the orange grove bring an undeniable character. The decor of the rooms is a little dated but at the same time, it goes with the setting. Very good quality XXL bedding. We just regretted the soundproofing of the suite (noise from the corridor, music from the restaurant below, dog barking in the morning). The breakfast is good and plentiful, the waiters are attentive. As for the restaurant, we have a mixed opinion. Everything is certainly very good 👍 but there is a lack of risk-taking in the associations. On the other hand, I loved the revisited rum baba. We love the decoration and tableware from a local designer. But the room lacks privacy... We had a very noisy table of 8 people (+ a dog) next to us, which is a shame. That evening, the service was not up to par in a 1* restaurant: presentation of the dishes was haphazard, there was no sommelier and therefore it was impossible to pair food and wine!! The chef didn't even come to introduce himself at the end of the meal. Finally, I'm disappointed because it was a gift for my partner's birthday and they forgot the candle for dessert (although we had validated it by email). It's a shame because the setting is fantastic...

14/08/2024: Hôtel de charme à la Provençale, qui a répondu à toutes nos attentes,avec un personnel à la hauteur de l’endroit. À renouveler.
