We had a 2 room suite complete with full kitchen, plates, pots and pans, coffee pot, microwave and hot burners, view of the swimming pool and for a great price. Early check in after some minimal time spent finding us a 1st floor room, due to no elevator, but all in all very accommodating and friendly. We had to walk a few blocks to find an open restaurant but we were right up the hill from the train station. The tiny tourist train took us through the old Town and up to the citadel and a small but fine museum we really enjoyed. The tourist information Center was up by the museum also. The hotel pool wasn't opened yet for the season but green lawn and picnic tables were nice. Only a little student noise at night but I think it was spring break. Nice garden cat! Very helpful staff, they gave me cakevto eat while waiting for room and help with our luggage. Great bargain and very friendly staff.

Hotel Motel Porticcio has a unique layout with reception, some rooms and breakfast facilities, free parking in the building close to the promenade with a wide choice of restaurants, bars and bakeries along the length of the beautiful beach. The Hotel Porticcio then has 3 more small buildings of modern apartments spaced on the slope behind, each with own free parking for the guests. As a couple with our small dog with us we were upgraded to a studio apartment in the 4th block with its own fenced, small terrace and garden with sea view which was perfect. We could walk less than 100 metres to the main building to be warmly welcomed by Stephanie who served us a fresh continental breakfast indoors, as mornings were a bit cooler mid-end September. In summer it is served in a pleasant roofed area outdoors. Les Chênes is a quiet private road to only a few properties. The studio had a kitchenette area with double ceramic hob, microwave and fridge. I wasn't planning on cooking this holiday but it was great to be able to have hot or cold drinks and snacks. The bed was very comfortable and clean. There's a small wardrobe, with shelves and drawers. A dining table 2 chairs plus outside a small patio table, chairs, sunbed and airer for drying beachwear and towels. The bathroom was very good and clean with handbasin, shower cubicle and w.c. Gemma, the receptionist was always cheerful and helpful and any other staff and the owner friendly too. No wonder this is a busy hotel without crowds.

Excellent service and accomodation. Bus stops were close by so getting to the train or city centre was easy. Close to beaches - by bus and within walking distance. Communication was in both French and English. Kitchen facilities were good. Thank you
