Tucked away in a quiet village, these apartments give lots of space and great views. It’s a shame they are not closer to a beach, the nearest being a couple of miles’ drive, but that is a beautiful beach so worth the drive. There’s very little in Cotteau Raffin itself, but a mile up the road in La Gaulette there is a very good supermarket, and some eating options- we only tried Enso, which did good burgers and beer. A good location for exploring the Black River Gorges and Chamarel area.
The apartment is very simply furnished - personally we thought a small indoor dining table and a bit more storage would have been helpful. The description is accurate, so note there is no TV or hairdryer, for example, if that matters to you. The WiFi was great once working - we didn’t realise we could connect to any of the 4 networks, and lost access for a couple of days.
The only disappointment was belatedly discovering the apartments are listed significantly cheaper on an alternative booking site.
