Our experience at the Gites du Colombier was mixed. The property is beautiful, quiet, and has helpful hosts who provide local activity information. It’s an ideal place to stay. The nearby town of Tôtes is charming, with excellent dining options like La Vieille Auberge, Au comptoir gourmand, and Restaurant Le Normandy, all of which we highly recommend. However, the website listing is inaccurate. Features mentioned were absent, leading to additional costs. For example, the website shows an ‘above-ground’ pool, but there was none. Wifi is available in the owners’ home, 100 meters away, so we had none. The electric car charging port is described as ‘on-site’ but is actually a commercial point 2 km away. The website claims a nearby river and beach for waterskiing, but the nearest beach is over 40 km away, and we found no river. We were charged extra for towels and bedlinen and had to make our own beds when we arrived, and then 50 for cleaning for a four-night stay. Before checkout, we received a bill for electricity and water. While some chambres d’hotes charge extra for services, this isn’t common in the UK, and none of these charges were mentioned on the website. Vrbo should ensure accuracy, as this listing isn’t. We would have highly recommended the accommodation if it had been as listed.
