Proudly sitting in the harbour of Saint-Martin, the historic capital of Island of Ré, the Hôtel de Toiras*****, Relais & Châteaux, enjoys an exceptional location, ideally anchored in the heart of a city whose Vauban ramparts are inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage.
This former shipowner mansion of the 17th century displays the typical architecture of the Island of Ré. Its owner, Olivia Le Calvez, had a real crush for this majestic building. She was able to refurbish it in close co-operation with the interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, by harmoniously combining the charm and authenticity of the Charente tradition with the comfort of a high luxury property. Each of the 20 rooms and suites of the hotel dedicates its name and its decoration to the leading historical figures of the region. Old stones, elaborate wainscoting, period furniture, precious fabrics immerse visitors in the décor of the history of the Island of Ré.
Animated by the heart and soul of this port city, carried by the soft rolling of the sailboats, the Hôtel de Toiras***** will offer you the extra portion of soul of a warm residence with discreet elegance.
