The reception by the owners was great as was the room with a view over the garden. Huge room with great bathroom. Excellent breakfast. Good access to the tourist sites as well as the restaurants in the center of town.

A very unique property in Rochefort. Most attentive and charming couple - Sandrine and Pascal- who made our 3 night stay a whole experience. Large , inviting common spaces for guest use. Full breakfast. Honour bar. Good access to interesting sites and restaurants.

tremendous restoration of a vintage building w/ cool eclectic furnishings! plus a charming couple who own and run it. great breakfast and we loved the pool on a 90 degree day!

To qualify we have stayed in hotels across the world and in France in particular - we are not new to hotels. The entire experience of D'Esprit du 8 was unsurpassed as Pascal and Sandrine take extra steps to ensure comfort and happiness with a stay there. The rooms are fascinating and interesting, assisted by their passion for furniture and objet d'art. But without being overpowering, just a great quality of hotel. Only once before in our lives have we returned again to the same hotel but if we are ever seeking accommodation on the west coast of France, we shall be booking there.

the property has been beautifully renovated and is in an excellent location

The very warm welcome from Pascal and Sandrine who were excellent hosts and have a beautiful home we had a spacious room designed by the couple, a very comfortable bed with quality linen breakfast was delicious and my wife was very well provided for with gluten free options the waffles were a real treat Pascal and Sandrine could not do enough to make us welcome in there home easily the nicest accommodation we have stayed in in france and we have visited regularly and extensively over the past 20 years

Sandrin & pascal went over themselves in their hospitality. very clean and well equipped apartment . Excellent breakfast. private parking inside.highly recommend.

We’ve just got married and are taking a mini moon through France. We have a large ranger rover, towing a trailer. The roads in the towns are small with tight parking but the owners of L,esprit did everything they could to help us get comfortable. Greeting us late in the evening and helping to park the car and the trailer. The next day we were up a little later as we have a baby and thought we had missed lunch but the hosts insisted we stay and made us breakfast even though we had missed the time.

Really wonderful, characterful property. Pascal and Sandrine are perfect hosts - very warm and friendly without being intrusive. This is a great place to stay

Very beautiful place. Pascal & Sandrine are lovely, they accomodate everything to ensure we had a great stay.
