My husband and I have just returned from the Easter weekend, having stayed two nights in the only room left, a suite, at the Domaine de Villers near Deauville. We took the car, and thankfully with the help of Sat Nav. we managed to find the hotel! It's located on a hill overlooking the countryside and a road. (We had the only room overlooking the sea to the left). Everything is immaculately clean,(I am extremely fussy!) and in very good order, as I think it must be a fairly new hotel, and everything is very well run, and well kept. Unfortunately it rained for most of the weekend, and as the driveway is sort of clay/shingle, there were muddy puddles everywhere, which made a terrible mess inside the entrance of the hotel, and certainly in our car!. The reception staff were courteous, although no-one offered to help us with our bags, and there's no lift. The bar area is very large and decorated in a burgundy art deco style. There's a large open fireplace at one end. The dining room is fairly small by comparison, and again quite dark. Breakfast was okay, fresh fruit, boil-your-own eggs, croissants etc and the staff were very helpful. Dinner was very good. They have an excellent chef. The wi-fi didn't work in our room, but it did if you sat on the landing area with your laptop. I think we were out of range! There's an entry keypad on the main door for security, if you return late at night. The numbers are changed each day, which you're given with your key. There's a caravan park on one side of the hotel, but you don't actually see any caravans from the hotel. There's an indoor pool which we didn't use, as there was enough wet weather for our liking! All in all we had a very pleasant stay, but the place has no soul, no atmosphere, and no personality. We might stay again, but we're in no rush to do so.
