HÔTEL LES COLONNES ^{* *}

The first thing you'll notice when you arrive here is the friendly welcome. But the hotel's main asset is undoubtedly its location in the heart of Saint-Martin-de-Ré. All you have to do is settle into one of the rooms and choose the view: the sea and the port, the old town and its morning sunshine. This hotel has maintained its consistency, making it one of the most popular places to visit; and for good reason: it's been run by the same family for over a century! The rooms have been progressively refurbished, offering a high level of comfort, including top-quality bedding and small balconies for sniffing the sea air. The hotel also boasts a restaurant, which is particularly pleasant in fine weather. What a pleasure it is to sit on the terrace, bask in the view and enjoy simple cuisine based on seasonal produce: oysters, home-made mussels marinières and fries, sole meunière and home-made desserts such as lemon meringue crème brûlée. You can also opt for half-board and even park your car in the walled parking lot. The hotel also has two rooms for people with reduced mobility.
