Castel Clara Thalasso & Spa

Great location.

We were surprised to see that the menus in the restaurants, particularly in the restaurant gastronomique, were surpressed. We really like the dining room there, but we are not able to eat a course meal in the evening.

The "Cote Sauvage" is one of the most amazing locations you will ever experience and this hotel is uniquely situated so that you can take advantage of this unspoiled coast. We stayed 5 nights in a room for two adults and one child, which turned out to be a more than adequate junior suite with privacy for everyone. Facilities were great with two pools (one outdoor saltwater and one indoor). We played tennis and booked horseback riding nearby and generally took advantage of everything the island had to offer. Definitely rent a car when you go here so you are not stuck on the hotel grounds. Staff was of course went out of their way to make us comfortable. Have the breakfast buffet and then venture out for lunch and dinner elsewhere.

Castel Clara is a truly stunning hotel in one of the most beautiful locations we’ve visited. The scenery is incredible, the atmosphere is wonderfully peaceful and relaxing, and it was the perfect place to unwind for a couple of days. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful before and throughout our stay, arranging our shuttle, bike hire and restaurant reservations with ease. The food was excellent too – we enjoyed two fantastic meals and a superb breakfast. Our only minor issue was the lack of air conditioning during a particularly hot spell. However, we completely understand and respect the hotel’s commitment to sustainability, and it certainly didn’t detract from what was a fantastic stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and would highly recommend Castel Clara to anyone looking for a memorable stay on Belle-Île.
