Stepping onto the island of Ile de\u00a0R\u00e9, just\u00a0off the west coast of France, you’re greeted by endless meadows, whitewashed houses and cobbled streets. The long favored summer escape for chic Parisians, Il de R\u00e9 oozes classic luxury and from the base of Villa Clarisse, you’ll be in a prime location\u00a0to explore the island’s highlights. Nestled in the heart of the old city of Saint-Martin-de-R\u00e9, Clarisse is\u00a0the perfect setting for a romantic getaway – its nine suites and guest rooms making it an idyllically\u00a0intimate boutique hotel and the dream\u00a0spot to\u00a0hideaway.<\/p>\n
Given its location\u00a0right\u00a0in the middle of the old fishing town of Saint-Martin-de-R\u00e9, a short drive, walk, or bike over the bridge from La Rochelle will see you\u00a0in the peaceful surrounds of Villa Clarisse. With the island being only 30 km long and 5 km wide, the best way to get out and about is to explore by bike. So hop on and feel the breeze whistling through your hair as you pedal to sandy shores and\u00a0picturesque villages.<\/p>\n
Each of the nine suites or guest rooms has whitewashed walls, plush beds, and all the chic extras you could want. After a day of roaming the back streets or pedalling through meadows and sleepy villages, you’ll\u00a0head back to Villa Clarisse ready to\u00a0relax and indulge in\u00a0a treatment at the serene spa.<\/p>\n
With a more laid-back vibe than the Cote d’Azur, once you’ve stepped onto Ile de R\u00e9 you’ll slip into a different pace of life. The perfect place to start your daily adventures, hop\u00a0on your tandem and start exploring as cars (let alone taxis) are few and far between on the island.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
