Hotel reviews for hotels in Brittany
This a charming spot. The Maison Familiare is not run by a 21st century conglomerate - quite the opposite. The extraordinarily friendly owner attends to you herself! The hotel is an old (old!) school experience - no WiFi, no Internet, no TV, no air conditioning, no, no, no!
Beach and a snapshot of history - when things were much, much simpler!
A truly fabulous place to wind down... assuming that you're able! Read more
