FEATURED PARTNER: THE HÔTEL DE TOIRAS
“The Hôtel de Toiras enjoys an exceptional location at the entrance to the port of Saint-Martin-de-Ré, the island’s historic capital. Its facades, typical of the old houses on Île de Ré, are an inherent feature of the activity and life of this port and offer it great natural charm. The Hôtel de Toiras harmoniously combines the traditions of Charente with the comfort of a luxury hotel.”
