Hostellerie des Châteaux

Top choice in Grande-Terre


Set on a spacious lawn inland from the road to Pointe des Châteaux, this idyllic hideout has just four rooms and four bungalows, making for total privacy in sublime surroundings. The on-site restaurant is open to the public and has great views, while superb beaches are just a short walk away. The pool is the cherry on top.
