A guest house set in a noble 19th-century building on the port of Saint-Martin-de-Ré, capital of the Ile de Ré, in the heart of the Vauban town, a World Heritage site. Large garden with swimming pool.
We opened this guesthouse in 2020, in the heart of the Vauban World Heritage City.
Passionate about the island for many years, we fell in love with this 1885 residence, one of the most beautiful and emblematic on Saint-Martin. After renovation, the house has regained its lustre, preserving its moldings, woodwork, parquet floors, fireplaces, porcelain basins and all the architectural treasures of the period. Choose from five spacious ground-floor bedrooms overlooking the garden, each with a unique, brand-new bathroom featuring antique porcelain basins. Enjoy the peace and quiet of a large, south-facing garden, complete with swimming pool (counter-current pool). A breakfast of fresh produce is served in the wooded dining room or on the terrace. We also offer aperitifs with tapas. Numerous restaurants are within a five-minute walk of the house.
All bedding is new and top-of-the-range. Beds are either 180x200 cm (kingsize) or 160x200 cm (queensize), and the decor is very tasteful.
