Domaine de Rochevilaine

Domaine de Rochevilaine Review

Set on the magical Pen Lan peninsula, this enchanting and luxurious collection of 15th- and 16th-century Breton stone buildings resembles a tiny village; one, however, that is surrounded by terraced gardens, has a spectacular spa, and offers grand vistas of the Bay of Vilaine. Once you step through the grand "Portail de la Verité" 13th-century entryway, the interior allures with Baroque ex-votos, Louis Treize chairs, rock-face fireplaces, and plate-glass windows. Chef Patrice Caillaut (formerly of Ledoyen and Troisgros) rules the restaurant, which has a somewhat boring menu. Guest rooms sparkle with checked fabrics, veneered woods, and modern furnishings. To get your toes in the water, head to the alluring spa, the Aqua Phénica, replete with a full spectrum of seawater hydrotherapy facilities and gigantic indoor pool.
