Very good boutique hotel on outskirts of town
Charming and well-finished boutique hotel on the outskirts of Saint Marie De La Mer.
The hotel has a very laid back vibe, focused on wellness and sustainability, but does no scrimp on comfort and service.
Almost all of the rooms have a private deck outside, and double doors to enter.
Our room (suite 5) had an extraordinarily comfy king size bed, bureau, double wardrobe and side tables.
The air conditioning works beautifully and
the large bathroom comprised of separate toilet, sink area and combined bath / shower.
Our room rate was based on Dinner, B&B and did not disappoint.
The breakfast buffet is excellent; a mixture of pastries, cereals, cold meats and cheeses, and “egg boiling station”. Coffee, teas and juices in good supply.
The three-course dinner menu is limited (you are only given one choice per night) but thankfully ours was very agreeable to it personal taste.
A starter of salmon terrine with tomato soup sorbet, followed by a main course of (local favourite) magret du canard and finished off with a fruit punch desert was just the ticket. Also, the Sancerre on the menu is delicious!
It’s worth noting that as there are multiple excellent restaurants within the town of Saint Marie to explore (10mins walk), it may seem a bit odd to eat at the hotel, but give it a shot - it’s worth it.
The pool / deck area is very well designed, and suited for adults and kids with bistro tables and loungers in good supply.
