The setting is great and incredible, adjacent to the old port where the choice of restaurants is staggering, La Rochelle on a long drive back-glad, and harbour and the main town centre, new area. The rooms are beautifully decorated and good sized, with 2 large bedrooms, comfortable beds, as for instance provided.
