Breton clifftop villa
The 1930s seaside villa channels the glamour of an ocean liner high above Brittany's pink granite shore.
“The bones of the hotel feel anchored to the destination’s history while the interiors have a timeless style with contemporary comforts that travelers expect.”
What it’s good at
Notable
Nautical wood panelling pairs with bathroom mosaics pressed from dredged marine sediments.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
It’s now been renamed and restored as part of the Fontenille Collection, who have given the hotel a brand-new look inspired by the elegance of 1930s Art Deco ocean liners.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Trestrignel beach sits a five-minute walk downhill, and the Sentier des Douaniers footpath traces the pink granite coast.
The rooms
Every room looks out to sea, styled in sandy tones with observation telescopes pointed toward the archipelago.
The spa
An indoor heated jacuzzi and infrared sauna look directly over the water. Treatments draw on organic Alaena skincare.
Restaurant Les Bassans
Tall veranda windows look straight out to sea, where Chef Jean-Pascal Gebka serves Breton shellfish and buckwheat galettes.
At the table
Fringed velvet stools line the curved wooden counter at Bar des Bassans, which pours Fontenille wines and regional spirits.
How it began
The name pays homage to the fous de Bassan, the northern gannets nesting in their thousands on nearby Île Rouzic.
