Château de l'Abbaye - Teritoria

Just a short drive from La Rochelle and the Île de Ré, Château de l'Abbaye - Teritoria sits within a two-hectare private park. Once part of a Cistercian abbey, this elegant manor now offers a heated outdoor pool, a hot tub, a sauna, and complimentary bike rentals.

The air-conditioned guest rooms feature 19th-century furnishings, along with modern comforts like free Wi-Fi and a minibar. Rooms in the 17th-century annex come with a private garden and a two-person spa bath in the ensuite.

Guests can reserve candlelit dinners featuring a set menu made from fresh, homemade ingredients. Meals are served in a dining room or one of two lounges, each with a fireplace. Breakfast can be enjoyed in the dining room, on the terrace, or in the privacy of your room.

On-site leisure options include a children’s playground. The coast is 32 km away, and Richelieu once served as abbot of this very abbey.

Couples especially appreciate the setting, giving it an 8.7 rating for two-person getaways.
