Villa Tri Men

This hotel was the third hotel we stayed in during our 10 days long Brittany trip. If our experience at our first two hotels had not been beyond perfect, we would probably have liked this place very very much, but compared to the other two hotels we stayed in before, this hotel was a little weak: our room (no: 14) was a bit smaller in size, the front view we were expecting (we had booked via ******* a room with front view, ie, sea view) was not direct as we had envisioned but nevertheless we loved it here. The ambiance was very romantic, the building and its gardens were very peaceful. The indoor seating area with the large windows is legendary. The room where the breakfast is served (which is also the Michelin starred restaurant) has gorgeous views and the breakfast is very satisfactory as well. Location of the hotel is very central, parking lot is small, we had to park at an electric vehicle lot as there was no other vacant lot left. The main thing, though it's just a nuance, that bothered me was the sentiment at the entrance (not exactly a traditional hotel reception): one expects a very customer oriented greeting in such a hotel whereas what we have experienced was an impersonal, almost cold welcome. It was not rude, nothing like that, but it did not make us feel welcomed.

Really enjoyed this hotel overlooking the port with boats and great scenery. Rooms are comfortable and roomy. The staff is very helpful and pleasant. A few very good restaurants are within walking distance. A village surrounds it - great for a walk!

Very nice place to stay in Finistere. Polite staff. Our room was quiet, spacious and airy and tastefully decorated (at least on the 1st floor the ceilings are high). Relaxing to see the fishermen and boats coming and going in the port / bay from the room. Rooms and common areas nicely decorated with local art (paintings, faience ceramics). Very clean, incl. spacious bathroom. Private parking lot with EV charger is nice. The breakfast was good but not very special (I like to just hit the bakery in the morning when in France anyway). We weren't able to try the touted restaurant as it was booked by the time we tried (a few weeks before arrival). Easy 5min stroll to the village, restaurants, markets and the little ferry to Benodet, as well to the atlantic beach (few mile long beach to Ile Tudy)

The lovely setting, the history of the hotel and its quiet grace make this a very desirable place to settle in and enjoy the beauty of Brittany. As we were leaving, I had in mind some minor criticisms. But some miles under the belt and the memory is very positive. The starred restaurant was closed (Sunday and Monday) during our stay, and we would have enjoyed trying it. Their sister restaurant, down on the harbor, is a decent bistro, but not a destination venue. The grounds and architecture of the house are delightful. The bedrooms are fine, a little basic for a four star hotel, but quite comfortable. As to breakfast, we would have preferred stronger coffee, but the scrambled eggs cooked to order were excellent and the lady in the breakfast room could not have been more gracious. Wifi was sketchy, and the front desk made several adjustments to a router in the hall. The internet still came and went. The main takeaway is that this is a charming town and the hotel has the prime location. It sits at a perfect viewpoint, with understated style, some distinctive art work in the public spaces. The staff is congenial and helpful. We would return.
