Rue du Général Lapasset

Property Description

Welcome to Villa Clarisse, a place of peace and wellbeing where time seems to stand still.

Nestled in the heart of Saint-Martin-de-Ré, out of sight, the sophisticated Villa Clarisse offers a discreet alternative to the majestic Hôtel de Toiras. This second Relais & Châteaux gem of Olivia Le Calvez reveals at one of these typical alleyways of the historical capital of the Island of Ré, the charm of a former private mansion dating back to the 17th century.

This haven of peace, dedicated to wellbeing and farniente, cultivates the taste of the secret. Behind the white stone façade, an atmosphere of perfect serenity is prevailing. The immaculate lobby continues in a romantic patio, a former cloister embellished by ranks of olive trees which opens up to a lush garden, a green oasis which allows the guest a glimpse at the belltower of the church through palm trees, fig trees and laurel trees. The masterpiece of Villa Clarisse is the outdoor pool heated at 26ºC proposing moments of intense relaxation. The future spa, whose opening is scheduled for the summer of 2019, promises great instants of happiness.

The five suites and four rooms of Villa Clarisse reveal an elegant and contemporary decoration signed by the renowned interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon: pure lines, effects of various materials, contrast of matt and brilliant as well as variations of white which reflect the surname of the island, Ré the white.

Only 60 m from the beaches and Saint-Martin marina, Villa Clarisse offers en suite accommodation in a centrally located, 18th-century villa. A heated, outdoor swimming pool features on site, and free Wi-Fi is provided throughout.

Offering views of the garden, the patio or the Old Town, the elegant rooms and suites all include a private bathroom with bath and shower and a seating area. Some feature a period fireplace and woodwork.

A continental- or American-style breakfast is available daily at Villa Clarisse at an additional cost. Guests can also have a tea with homemade pastries in the tearoom, and for evening meals, discover the local restaurants.

Only 200 m from The Ernest Cognacq Museum, the property is a 30-minute drive to La Rochelle train Station. The golf course in Trousse-Chemise is 15 km away.
