Fodor's Review:

Perched on a cliff overlooking the surf and the narrow Anse de Goulphar Bay, this '70s-era hotel was François Mitterrand's address when he vacationed on Belle-Ile. The hotel still retains its presidential glamour, with its renowned spa, saltwater pool, and spectacular room views. In the bright, airy restaurant, chef Christophe Hardouin specializes in seafood, caught just offshore. The John Dory baked in sea salt and the grilled sea bream are simple but delicious. Castel Clara's expansive wooden-decked terrace is the perfect lounging spot for cocktails at sundown. Pros: great facilities; spectacular setting. Cons: impersonal service; hard to get to.Caroline (reception)
