In the blink of an eye

1. Domaine Le Mezo

A stylish getaway in a lush natural setting

The château life is all yours at Le Mezo! You’re in Ploeren between Vannes and the Gulf of Morbihan. In a little architectural jewel with an ultracosy family-home spirit. What’s awaiting you in the midst of these 25 hectares of nature? An 18th-century château, restored to perfection. A greenhouse, cottages and a divine swimming pool. All of them inviting you to relax and revitalise. To laugh and savour… as you reconnect with yourself.

2. Domaine de Locguénolé

A haven of peace between river and forest

A château, a manor house, an orangery… and a boat converted into a suite along with a gatehouse transformed into a baroque villa. Domaine de Locguénolé, between Lorient and the ocean, is an elegantly appointed green paradise set in wooded grounds. Settle back in your oh-so-stylish room. Relax in the spa. Dive into the heated swimming pool. You can cast off from the private pontoon and sail down the Blavet between fresh and salt water. And your taste buds? They’ll have the time of their lives at the Michelin-starred L’Inattendu and at Maison Alyette, for a real gourmet break. You leave with your heart light and joyful – taking a breath of sea air home with you!

3. Maison Roz – Pont-Aven

Pale green shutters and feet in the water

A stone’s throw from Pont-Aven’s port, Maison Roz cultivates the art of living along the waterside. An architects’ house hidden away in 3 hectares of wooded grounds, 5 rooms (plus a cabin for free souls), a sauna, an indoor swimming pool, a spacious sun-drenched terrace…and then there’s always that gentle light on the pale green shutters. The perfect address to laze the day away in style, don’t you think? With your family…or not!

Ideas

The inratables of the summer, the place to be to treat yourself to a seafood platter, the best views on the GR®34, the best spots to start surfing… in short, all the good...

4. Energising stopover on the Breton Riviera

Les Garennes in Bénodet

Fifteen bright and cosy rooms in a renovated castle. A huge park, with 5 km of trails, along the Odet river. A swimming pool with sea view, a hot tub, steam room and sauna for full relaxation: What is this place? Les Garennes. Special mention for the electric bikes that you can borrow for a cycle to Sainte-Marine or Bénodet, if you can bear to leave this heavenly place at all!

5. Hostellerie de la Pointe Saint-Mathieu – Plougonvelin

A snug haven at the end of the world

The Iroise Sea. A lighthouse. Sunlight filtering through the ruins of an abbey. Here, in Pointe Saint-Mathieu, a hotel of true character provides its guests with all the comfort they could wish for. Hospitality has been the Corre family’s watchword for 3 generations. Nolwenn and Tanguy have reinvented the address without betraying its elegant, warmly welcoming ambience. Sea views from your room, brand new spa and starred restaurant… A “house at the end of the world” to enjoy without moderation!

6. Facing the sea

The Pavillon de la Plage in Trébeurden

The Pavillon de la Plage has a dream location on the Pink Granite Coast in Trébeurden. This 20th-century building has been completely transformed into a delightful hotel. Each of its 20 rooms has a unique decor inspired by its view: the Castel Peninsula, the Isle of Milliau, the Pointe de Lan Kerellec, etc. Fine materials and delicate furnishings provide an atmosphere of elegance. There’s also a ‘back from the beach’ area where you can rinse yourself off after a swim in the sea.

7. Les Bassans in Perros-Guirec

Between sky, sea…and design

In Perros-Guirec, the Les Bassans Hotel sends the codes of luxury flying. Rethink your classics! Here, a Belle-Époque villa flirts with artful architecture. The spa is on first name terms with the waves and the rooms look the sea straight in the eye, with XXL views of the Sept-Iles archipelago. Glass, stone, clean lines and a sunset that would make a Turner blush… Luxury no less – pink granite and sea spray version. Awesome!

8. A star chef

Château de Boisgelin in Pléhédel

After winning a star at the Manoir de Lan Kerellec in Trébeurden, there’s a new challenge for Mathieu Kergourlay. This young Breton chef, together with his wife Marine, has taken over the reins at the Château de Boisgelin restaurant-hotel in Pléhédel, not far from Plouha and its cliffs. This energetic chef aims to transform local produce and vegetables from the estate’s garden by blending original combinations of exotic and seaside flavours. Marine’s job is to manage the hotel. There are 14 rooms, with a brand-new decor that subtly combines period furnishings with modern items.

9. A new life for the Château de Nessay

Saint-Briac-sur-Mer

The Château du Nessay, firmly anchored on its peninsula at Saint-Briac-sur-Mer, is opening a new chapter in its history. This elegant 19th-century building, which was once a family home, has been transformed into a hotel-restaurant with 17 bedrooms and 4-star facilities. Each room has its own special style, but they all have sea views. There is also a restaurant offering family cooking, a bar and a well-being centre, all open to non-residents.
