Ile de Ré
An uncut jewel off the west coast of France, joined to the historic fishing town of La Rochelle by a causeway, the Île de Ré is one of our favourite places to recommend for a civilised spring short break. It enjoys mild weather, but the crowds stay away until the summer months, so we particularly recommend a few days here in April or May, when you can enjoy the picturesque villages, white sand dunes and beaches, leisurely cycle paths – and some of the best seafood in France.

Ile de Ré, France
deluxe-boutique
The little sister of De Toiras, the Villa Clarisse, a former 18th century town house, opened its doors to guests in June 2011. Situated a stone’s throw from St. Martin’s harbour, it has just nine beautifully furnished bedrooms in a relaxed island style with white-washed walls and distressed wooden furniture. All overlook the town or the hotel’s quiet garden and outdoor heated swimming pool, where a continental breakfast is also served, or outside on the terrace.
