9.4/10 Exceptional! (103 reviews)
As a family of four with a 6-year-old and 8-year-old, staying in a 2-bedroom villa was ideal for us. It was spacious, clean and afforded us the privacy we wanted.
The hotel amenities were super: a huge outdoor heated pool, bikes to borrow to explore the grounds of the neighbouring chateau and indoor spa (and pool) facilities.
It was wonderful to enjoy an indulgent breakfast every morning and we dined in at the hotel’s restaurant one evening, outside on the terrace.
All in all a wonderfully spoiling three nights’ stay at Domaine de la Bretesche.
Thank you for making our stay so comfortable and memorable! We would definitely recommend and hope to return one day.
