We stayed at the Hostellerie du Cigalou for 2 nights last weekend. We were a little apprehensive after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor, but our stay was very comfortable. We had a room overlooking the road, which we requested, and the first night left the window open and found it very noisy, however, the second night we closed the windows and relied on the air conditioning, which was very quiet and had a much better night. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. We spent some time sitting by the pool, this was lovely, a real sun trap. Bormes les Mimosas is an idyllic village which we have visited many times over the last 20 years, and would certainly return to the Hostellerie du Cigalou.

Try L'Oliviers for dinner, we had a lovely meal there.

The receptionist was not at all nice and client oriented. The price on the room was 20 EUR less than the one on the internet reservation. The noise during night and early morning made us to feel not so confortable. After all we were in holiday.....In the evening you cannot relax on the terrace because of the smell from the kitchen of the restaurants. The breakfast is unacceptable poor (instant cofee for 13 EUr????!!!!) and too expensive. The staff is not speaking English (but this is only a detail as we manage in French). I do not recommend this hotel as the services are really poor and the location is not an advantage, "au contraire"! Bormes les Mimosas is a nice romantic village and this is the only positive fact.

Hostellerie du Cigalou offers pleasant accommodation in this charming hillside town. Our room-a Bucolique- was spacious, pretty, and with a large bathroom. A small terrace looked out to the sea and to the Ile Port-Cros. The swimming pool was small and not adequately looked-after- but fine for a quick cooling dip. Many of the rooms are over the hostellerie's restaurant. But most of the evening and early am noise came from traffic. The room was air conditioned; and closing the windows eliminated street noise. The desk service staff were usually over at the restaurant but seemed nice enough. The town itself is a special, lovely gem. A good restaurant choice would be Le Tonnelle, next to the inn.

This is a very charming hotel situated in a beautiful old village. The rooms are a bit more stylish than your average French hotel and the bathroom was great. The person at reception didn't speak English (we managed with our limited French), however there are staff in the bar and restaurant who can speak some English and all the staf were very helpful. I would not hesitate to stay here again and the area has lots to offer but be prepared to pay higher prices, as you are on the Cote de Azur. The only downside of the hotel was the price for breakfast - 12 Euros each, we found cheaper options in the area.
