A delightful small B&B with a lovely pool in a newly renovated historic home. Our hosts Sandrine and Pascal made us feel right at home. They helped orient us to the town, gave us excellent sightseeing and restaurant recommendations. Very comfortable beds. Spacious rooms. Modern bathroom. Central location for easy walking to everything. Convenient free parking. A wonderful breakfast with good regional cheeses, seasonal fruits and the best from the local bakeries.. Thank you Sandrine and Pascal for making our visit so enjoyable!

Very, very clean. Staff friendly and engaging. Very large room and bed. Comfortable and well laid out. Breakfast was fabulous.

interesting decoration with rare artworks and very nice, friendly and educated owners

The property is an old government building that is elegantly renovated to a very high modern standard. The hosts are incredibly friendly and can’t do enough for you, nothing is too much trouble. Bedrooms are very spacious and the bathrooms are just sublime. We visited in October and the pool was still inviting and the grounds kept pristine. Parking was safe and secure. We will certainly return next summer!!

This is without a doubt a hidden gem… I couldn’t rate it highly enough, the location and the decor were absolutely amazing.. pascal was amazing, and gave such a great recommendation for dinner. The building is approx 2 mins walk from the main square so couldn’t pick a nicer location to go exploring. Have private parking at the back which is excellent., and great to Know your car is safe and secure!! Will definitely stay here again on our next visit!

Having travelled a lot for both work and pleasure this has to be one of the nicest places we have stayed. The attention to detail throughout the property and garden is so impressive. The quality of fixtures and fittings and the furniture is just amazing. Location is excellent with everything you could need within a few minutes walk. Hiring the bikes and cycling towards Fouras is a must and then a relax in the pool is the perfect way to unwind. Pascal and Sandrine as the most lovely people, they can not do enough for you, their local knowledge is so useful when planning days out. Not forgetting Tweetie the cat!The smallest touches such as being greeted by name in a morning is such a simple thing yet so often lost in hospitality and it meant so much to us. The breakfast is amazing, every changing pastry’s and juices not forgetting Pascals sunny side up eggs! We could not recommend this place enough. One line summary It’s amazing, you have to visit!

Everything! The room, the charm of the place, the ambiance, the location, the cleanliness, the decor, the attention to detail, the helpful hosts...

It was an overall fantastic stay. Sandrine and Pascal are excellent hosts, incredibly friendly and a true sense for service on point! The maison, the rooms, the interior, the breakfast, ... just wonderful!

Pascal and Sandrine are very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was excellent.

Discreet very elegant converted Prefecture town house hosted by most pleasant couple. Extra large classically furnished room with large shower/toilet, almost apartment proportions. Tricky sweeping staircase for those unsure underfoot, but owner quick to help with baggage. Breakfast held in original formal dinning room overlooking pool & garden, seemingly unlimited & excellent quality. Parking very easy & safe.
