This was our second stay at the Manade Des Baumelles and it never disappoints. The location is great, the staff super helpful and welcoming, the rooms are comfortable (with air conditioning) and some of them even have a small kitchen; and the horse club L'Instant Guardian managed by a lady named Isabelle is one of the best in the area. We had an issue with the TV when we arrived, which was a bit disappointing given the Olympics were on. Morgane, a very helpful staff, offered an immediate solution and provided us access another room to watch TV there if we wished, and the next day it got fixed. At the manade, time slows down and you feel like you are in a special place away from the hustle and bustle, where you can truly relax. This is a great stop for families with children. Ours ride horses there and love the fact that there are many animals on the manade itself. Saintes Marie de la Mer, a lovely coastal town, is a 15 minute drive and there are two main activities nearby also worth doing: the bird park and the gipsy/horse live show named Camarkas.

The mosquitoes during the horse ride. You have to wear effective repellent and clothes that will prevent them biting you.

Breakfast was fine. Not super, not bad. Reception hostess, Marine, was excellent! Room was cozy. We liked the surroundings with the horses, bulls & other animals.

There needs to be a sitting area for guests that is inside the main building as some rooms (ours) are quite small with no sitting space inside the room. The restaurant does not have an a la carte menu, which does not work for some clients (us).

The room was beautifully decorated, and the air conditioned worked very well, even in the middle of the heatwave. The place was very quiet, in the middle of the marshes, lovely night sky and beautiful light in the mornings. Fine kitchen facilities in the room. My daughter particularly appreciated that the stable next door offered poney rides all day.

Quite expensive, for a place which is 10 km away from the beach. We had a lovely terrace, with great views of the Milky Way at night, but it was covered in batshit. There were dozens of bats flying above us, and I appreciate that they kept the mosquitos at bay. But for 230 euros per night, I would expect the staff to clean their droppings every day. Not being squeamish, we very much enjoyed our breakfast there in the mornings.

Very nicely renovated historical building in a wonderful location, surrounded by nature and many animals. Especially interesting for horse lovers, many possibilities for activities with horses. Beautiful restaurant location outside with a view. Close to village if you want to go to the beach.

Buffet during breakfast was almost empty when we came and was only filled up upon our request - other than that nothing else

The room was lovely and the area itself as well

The staff was not very helpful. I asked them help to organise a horseback ride and they gave me a number and did not help at all. Unfortunately, I do not speak French and I could not book that way. I would have preferred some more help from the propriety.

Excellent breakfast and restaurant, large well appointed room with good view. Excellent for wildlife viewing and St Marie - 15 mins drive away - is excellent as a touristy centre.

They could have told us, at the time of booking, about their music and other events to give us a chance to book ahead - they were all full by the time we arrived.

A delicious breakfast in a great location. Unfortunately, as it was out-of-season, (nearly) everything was closed. I would definitely recommend the manade and will definitely return for another stay.

Wow! Rooms were spacious and comfortable. The staff was truly superior and the meals were incredible.

Can't think of a thing.

Beautiful apartment in the middle of the Camargue. Rich of services and opportunities. Excellent restaurant, super recommended.

Breakfast should be available even later that 10am.

Breakfast was absolutely fantastic - top notch. Comfortable beds and exceptionally clean

Very poor Wifi - even though it was free. Made it difficult planning activities
