2023-03-15T06:12:35.635Z


A unique place at the crossroads of agricultural land, Vendée marshes and the Atlantic Ocean, Noirmoutier cultivates uniqueness. Less people than the Ile de Ré, it has kept a connection with the continent. We go there to relax, for a weekend, before the big tourist season.


Villa Arthus Bertrand, bourgeois house

In the heart of the Bois de La Chaize, a stone's throw from the Plage des Dames and Anse Rouge, you follow an alley, barely perceptible from the road, to come out in front of a large charming Victorian-style residence.

Acquired by the Arthus-Bertrand family in 2019 (hence its name), it has been transformed into an elegant 18-room hotel by architect and interior designer Olivier Gibault.

The result ?

A gentle atmosphere of a family home, where the guests (few) rarely meet and have the feeling of being far from everything.

When they arrive, they put down their car (enclosed car park) and forget about it!

They appreciate the private access to the beach, the sophisticated aesthetics of the gardens, the Japanese pavilion and the park, the swimming pool (swimming lessons for children), the library and the lounge, which are perfect for reading.

Most ?

The semi-gourmet restaurant where you dine after having a drink on the large terrace.

The price:

from €150 to €400 per night.

Villa Arthus-Bertrand, 9 alley of Chaillot, 85330 Noirmoutier-en-l'Île.

In all, there are 25 of them. As soon as you arrive, you can admire the 18th century entrance and its old floor tiles, then a blue Louis XVI lounge with paneling and old portraits, opening onto a bar (another entrance to the

hotel) and a more masculine lounge, populated with dark or leather furniture, a pool table, a chessboard and a library filled with books and games available.

Opportunity to taste charcuterie or cheese platters over a drink.

Spa Nuxe open to external customers.
