01/12/2024: I had the opportunity to stay at Domaine de la Corniche in November during a weekend with friends.
We were looking for calm and well-being and we were well served. We chose the Must package which includes the night, access to and a service at the Spa, a dinner at the Le Panoramique restaurant and breakfast.
I loved my experience, the spa is very functional and conducive to relaxation. The massage was very well executed, an orange blossom mist was distilled throughout the service to a background of Polynesian music, perfect for awakening the senses!
The evening meal was divine and succulent, the restaurant really deserves its star.
The bedding is very comfortable and enveloping and the environment is very calm, it is possible to sleep well if, unlike in my case, you manage to acclimatize to new places.
Finally, the breakfast is very complete and very good, I didn't eat all day after that. On the other hand, a small downside regarding the reception of breakfast, we felt a difference in treatment compared to other guests. For example, we were still seated at 10:30 a.m., the person in charge of reception informed the next table apologizing that they were going to start another service, we were allowed to say "we will have to release the places". When leaving, while everyone else had the right to "Have a nice end to your stay", we didn't even get a "goodbye" and I'll miss other details. It was therefore a small disappointment but one which did not detract from my stay. I recommend the place and will happily return in the summer.
01/12/2024: The estate is located in a very pleasant setting, the common areas of the main building are beautiful, however we were very disappointed with our stay. The price-quality ratio of our room (280 euros with tourist tax) was not at all satisfactory: for that price, we had a beautiful view of the Seine, but the room is small, the bathroom tiny, without a bathtub, with old-fashioned tiles on the floor. Furthermore, a number of details mean that we did not find that the establishment deserves 4 stars:
- the main room of the bar is chic and cozy, but the two adjoining rooms are cold (white decor, industrial-looking ceiling), the table and the seat where we sat were wobbly, the cocktails not bad but not incredible for 15 euros.
- the reception at the spa is lousy: the hostess has a headset and takes 5 minutes to calculate you, I was asked to share my locker with my friend because there was a key problem, no problem in itself, and the hostess asks me to bring her my key for when I'm done changing so she can give it to my friend when she arrives. In the end, she gave him another key and... she left my key on my full locker!!! Someone could have stolen all my things but the hostess didn't think of that.
- the hostess had forgotten to turn on the light of the outdoor jacuzzi which was in the dark, lukewarm and without bubbles (despite our requests).
- there were a lot of ceramic tiles missing on the hammam benches, again unworthy of a 4 star.
- Finally, we were charged for breakfast at the end of our stay even though we had booked without breakfast and did not take it. The hostess replies that they are “added straight away”. In this case why not require them when booking and include them in the price? They were finally deducted.
