What a lovely stay! The property felt like a little haven in the beautiful city of La Rochelle and we so enjoyed our time here. We had a top-floor room overlooking the city (which we loved) and found it to be a great size for our 4-person family. The breakfast was excellent with so many delicious choices, and the room was beautifully appointed. We loved the location - so much in walking distance that made it a perfect location for exploring the whole city, but also felt quiet and away from the hustle and bustle at the end of the day. The onsite restaurant served an excellent dinner that we all enjoyed thoroughly. The pool was so nice for a late afternoon dip! We hope to return someday!

The hotel is great, it's very comfy, location is very central & the staff is amazing. They were very helpful. friendly and helped us a lot during our stay. We had a small health issue and they helped us find a doctor and allowed us to do a late checkout. We really appreciate this gesture and we will be back soon.
