La Maison de la Prade Hotel, South-West Bordeaux
A 1930's art deco beach building has been transformed into a charming hotel
900m from the hotel is the beach, which boasts 5km of fine sands. Sylvie & Franck Ducousso will welcome you to their tranquil hotel, with its natural forest surroundings.
Original La Maison de la Prade was a purpose built 'summer-camp' and ran as such until 1987. It lay dormant for 20 years, until Sylvie & Franck brought it to transform it into their vision (the only potential buyers that didn't want to knock it down). The hotel now keeps many of it's art deco features, whilst having a modern design to it making it a charming place to stay.
All the rooms are light and ambient with a contemporary style. They either open onto the swimming pool or the pine forest. Every room has an ensuite with walk-in shower.
There is lots to do in the surrounding areas. The Moliets gold course is nearby, and Franck Ducousso (your host) is a professional golf player and can be at your diposal for lessons. South of Landes is a sandy beach which has got good surf and hosts different surf schools. For the horse lovers there is riding at all levels, along the beach or through the forests. Biking and hiking are popular too with lots of paths linking villages and the sea.

Visitor comments
- "Just come back from our third stay in this lovely small hotel - one of our favourite places. It is only a small hotel but beautifully styled and spotlessly clean. The rooms are comfortable and the breakfasts the best we have had in France. The swimming pool area is lovely, enough sun beds and chairs for all and nicely landscaped. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The small village of Messanges is only 5 minutes walk away with a few restaurants and shops and the wonderful surfers beach of Messanges Plage with plenty of free parking is about 900m. A wonderful, relaxing place to stay." - Trip Advisor
- "We booked this hotel based primarily for its location as we travelled south. It is extremely serene and in a wonderful location. We were the only guests but the breakfast buffet was beautifully presented including freshly prepared fruit salad and hans squeezed orange juice." - Trip Advisor
- "The hotel used to be a"colonie de vacances" or children's holiday camp in the 1930s. Sylvie and Franck, the owners, have entirely renovated the Art-deco building with impeccable taste and made it into a charming hotel where guests feel totally at home. Franck is the pro at Moliets golf course, so golfers are particularly welcome! The rooms are all different, some for families, others more suited to couples; they are all simply but tastefully decorated and very comfortable. A group of us spent four days there for a golfing trip in the region and found it to be an excellent base, close to wonderful beaches and very good golf courses. We were made feel very welcome and would certainly return." - Trip Advisor
