The best accommodations Poitou-Charentes

In the heart of nature, you will appreciate the charm of this recently restored house. Quiet location.

Situated on a beautiful square only a few metres from the beach and the city centre, this hotel is intimate. Maintained by Christine and Alain, this small establishment offers a quiet and quiet atmosphere. We like to take a moment in one of the rooms with comfortable bedding, flat screen TV and where each furniture has been able to find its place. But what we also love in Begonias is the restaurant and its family kitchen. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Here you can enjoy pink shrimps that are flooded with pastis, a cod with citrus fruits, a beef fillet in the port in the dining room, in the flowered patio or on the terrace with sea view.

It is a small friendly place ideal for those wishing to visit one of the most beautiful villages in France. You will enter the world of Rita and Jean-Heyne, a beautiful stone house located opposite the town hall and former residence of the mayor. We love the old courtyard which offers a particularly pleasant setting for an aperitif and breakfast, the great swimming pool to cool off, the tea garden to drink a cup in the shade of the cherry tree and of course the beautiful dining room and the library. But if you enter this home, it is primarily to stay in one of the five double rooms: red on the front of the house with its small fireplace, yellow with its lounge corner, greige and its end of the century style, the blue one overlooking the swimming pool and the attic on the second floor.

The campsite is ideal for the whole family, children have fun in the playground or on the trampoling while parents will benefit from the wellness area (strength, Jacuzzi, sauna).
