What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
an abandoned tannery in a remote French village might not sound like the most obvious setting for a boutique hotel.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Perched on a hilltop along the Camino de Santiago trail, the property overlooks ancient ramparts and the distant Pyrenees.
The rooms
Five east-wing rooms feature custom lime-washed walls, vintage pieces, writing desks, and deep bathtubs facing the town ramparts.
The cooling basin
Bring a swimsuit.
An indoor stone cooling basin catches the light beneath lime-washed walls, designed for quiet summer relaxation.
At the table
Breakfast is served in sunlit salons with timber floors and scenic murals, or outside in the courtyard garden.
How it began
Built in 1754 as a royal leather tannery, the neoclassical monument stood abandoned for decades before its four-year restoration.
