Holiday House Le Palme

The location is stunning! The staff are friendly, interested and relaxed. The atmosphere is casual and informal. Eating out on the terraces is a fantastic experience to savour. It offers one of the best possible views of a fantastic area.

Finding the hotel by sat-nav is impossible - you have to phone ahead and be told where best to park, which is easy to find. We were told to park in the Excelsior hotel car park and walk down the 100 or so steps (some quite steep) with several easy flat sections to negotiate. This hidden gem of a hotel is a surprise well worth seeking out. Not for the unfit or those who carry a lot of luggage, though!

The views are incredible. Also an authentic Italian feel to it, set into the cliff face amoungst the olive trees and lemon trees. Very cheap mini bar!

Breakfast could be improved. The same every day - ham and cheese sandwich, coissant, crackers and cold tea. Would be better to leave some cereal out and toaster with a selection of Jams so guest can help themselves and have hot toast. Perhaps also offer something simple and hot like boiled eggs.

The hotel is more like a Bed and Breakfast. Most of the guests stayed a couple of nights but we were staying for two weeks on our honeymoon, the owners upgraded us to thier suite a lovely little apartment on top of the house. The hotel is a family run affair and very charming and intimate. The staff were friendly, helpful and made our stay very relaxed and enjoyable. We really enjoyed our stay.

The only issue may be the steps for some older people and families. The hotel can only be accessed via steps so flat shoes and timing your trips out are essential.

Friendly, helpful staff; great rooms; and truly stunning views.

The steps make the hotel inaccessible for some. Ideally, you need to have pretty good fitness and a backpack rather than a suitcase.
