What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We went to the restaurant attached to the hotel. The room is pretty basic but was cool on a hot day. It is not front line in Banyuls sur mer but can be seen from the front. We decided on the menu du jour at €19 for two courses, no choice. The starter was a lovely refreshing salad of courgettes (pickled I think) with red berry coulis and feta. The main course was a piece of fresh cod on a bed of puréed squash with a medley of other veg topped with mash. All really good quality. And importantly for us, individual dishes not seen everywhere.”
“A lovely stay, great staff and a very nice vibe. I recommend it. The rooms facing the street do get loud at 7:30 so if you like to sleep in, best to be on the back. If you wake early, perfect. The communal kitchen is super as well. Very close to the beach. Nothing to complain about! A definite to return to!”
“Great meal and so unusual in France, most of the menu was non meat. Dog friendly Interesting vegetarian croque monsieur and Spanish wine”
“We had a great time at Casa Dina. Lovely staff, great food, comfortable rooms, and easy check-in. Recommend.”
“What a beautiful dining experience in a wonderful setting. The service was friendly and attentive and the food was spectacular. La Casa Dina is worth making a special trip to Banyuls. Enjoy it.”
“I found this place by chance arriving about an hour before sunset by bike. In fact, I did not realised I had cross the border into France! I was quiet lucky finding these very comfy and affordable rooms. The food was superb and the the lady chef and girl waitress were incredibly hospitable. Especially the girl with the black hair. She was fantastic! They let me have my pizza and cakes in my room. They also kindly let me keep the bicycle downstairs in a secure room!”
“A cosy place with excellent location on a quiet place just around the corner from the beach. Nice clean rooms for a fair price. Helpful employees and a really excellent lebanese kitchen. Don’t miss the breakfast buffet. Only thing missing is aircon on a hot night.”
“I stayed at Casa Dina after finishing HRP. The staff was so friendly and the ambience so nice and authentic. One of my finest stays! And as a platinum member of well known hotel chains, this stay is a memory to cherish”
