Bartaccia Hotel

“Relaxing stay in a beautiful setting”

Situated in beautiful gardens; 20 minutes from seafront (Propriano); excellent (adults only) pool: warm, quiet and peaceful (but no bar); the other pool is also very good (with bar); barman (Eric) friendly with good recommendations for excursions.

“Very good, but could be excellent.”

After a rocky start to our 9 night stay, when the air conditioning in the suite we had booked did not work, we eventually settled into an alternative suite which,in the end, probably suited us better.

After a rocky start to our 9 night stay, when the air conditioning in the suite we had booked did not work, we eventually settled into an alternative suite which,in the end, probably suited us better. The manager was very apologetic and made amends for the initial hiccup. Our room was spacious and very clean, as was the rest of the hotel. Staff were efficient and friendly. We were the first couple at the hotel to experience their "All inclusive" board. It was clear that, as this is a new feature, it was not easy, for either staff, or us, to know what you could and couldn't have. The food menus were fairly self explanatory, but the drinks were another matter. Staff had to consult a long list of all drinks available, to check if they were in the all inclusive choice. After a while, however, we knew where we stood on the drinks that we normally have. Overall, I believe the extra we paid for the all inclusive break, was worth it. There are 2 main criticisms of the hotel. Firstly, the main pool, that has a bar, has far too few sunbeds, ( and they must be the most uncomfortable we had ever laid on) , and there really needs to be parasols for them all. The temperature was in the mid 30's and it was almost impossible to lay in the direct sun for any length of time. I know they are adding another awning to one area of the poolside, but this will still leave 3 sides of the pool with no shade after about midday. Secondly, if you stay for more than a few days, the menu, both at lunch and dinner, becomes monotonous. In conclusion, we enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Bartaccia, but with a few changes I would have given it a five star rating.

“Not great but not terrible”

I think this is a 3 star hotel in feel and performance. There is a lack of generosity about the room facilities - towel size, number of bins (1), small bedside table, paper cups, no smart TV, limited choice of teas, coffees,milk in espresso machine, unheated main pool and barely heated shady pool… more

Wine is expensive but available by the small glass. Wouldn’t recommend because of position which is too far out of town.

“Nice and quiet and misleading....”

Nice hotel but the pictures are misleading... It might be one of the most quiet place I have ever stayed in! There are 2 pools to use (one is for kids and the other is almost dedicated to complete silence!) and the restaurant is not located around the pool as it looks on the pictures. The hotel is … more

Nice hotel but the pictures are misleading... It might be one of the most quiet place I have ever stayed in! There are 2 pools to use (one is for kids and the other is almost dedicated to complete silence!) and the restaurant is not located around the pool as it looks on the pictures. The hotel is located on a very green domain and the rooms have a nice view of the beach or mountains. It is quite clean and well maintained. The food options during the day are VERY limited. Paninis only and not the best ones and ice creams. The evening restaurant is also where they serve breakfast. The view is very nice. We enjoyed the breakfast choices but the evening menu is quite disappointing. It was too expensive for the quality of the dishes and the staff (while very nice) are all trainees... The hotel is located near a beach but if you are not big on walks, you should make sure you have a rental car. The biggest downside to the hotel is the lack of service offered onsite (no bike rental, no spa, no other amenities). The staff however is very friendly and helpful with little means... The marina is a nice place to eat as there are a lot of options to choose from.
