I had stayed at L'Orangeraie for a few days in October 2009. It is such a special place that I came again this May with with my partner. We had booked for a week, but enjoyed L'Orangeraie and the surrounding area so much that we stayed on for an extra 2 days. Nearby Finike is a delightful small town almost... More

We really enjoyed our stay. Gerard and Mireille are perfect hosts and their small hotel is beautiful. I do not understand the reviews re the food. We were only there for 3 nights and enjoyed 3 lovely breakfasts by the fantastic pool which ıncluded cheese, olives fruit, different breads and fantastic home made jams - I would challenge anyone to...

As we pulled into this lovely Villa Portakal in the middle of orange groves, we knew we were in for a special stay. Even the color of the villa and our room evoked citrus.

Gerard and Mireille are so nice to make our stay unforgettable; Mireille is a "chef" and deserve a three star restaurant ! Gerard is always willing to recommend tips... More

Small hotel with delightful ambience, excellent service, great food and charming host- utter perfection

L'Orangerie is the finest small hotel that my wife and I have ever visited. Prepare yourself for a uniquely pleasurable experience.
