Lodging near Port-Cros National Park, France

"Stephanie and Noah were very helpful and friendly"

"The location, Port de Bormes, is stunning. 10 Minutes from a gorgeous sandy beach, with great beach restaurants; the port itself has some really good restaurants within it and some amazing boats as a background drop. However, the communication from the agent was poor, with us having to chase information about key pick up and check in times. She also initially wanted 1000 Euros as a deposit, and then dropped it to 500 when we challenged her. The apartment was not numbered on the outside and difficult to find and very dated . The instructions had been to pay the deposit by cheque, but obviously they wouldn’t accept an English cheque, and we didn’t have the cash with us. We would have been very dubious handing to a 3rd party anyway, as the agent sent the cleaner to let us in. The apartment is not a 2 bed apartment at all: it is really 1 bed, separated by boarding with a narrow bunk bed added.No window. Fairly claustrophobic. The toilet seat was broken, and the shower curtain was filthy and unhygienic. You have to stand in the bath tub to shower, which is not a problem, but the bath is so thin, it flexes even under slight weight of a child. We paid 75 Euros to have this tiny apartment cleaned after we left, and hadn’t even landed back in the UK when we received abusive texts from the agent about leaving a mess and not cleaning up. We did not leave a mess, but did expect the fridge and rubbish to be emptied as part of this fee."
