Fodor's Review:

A 16th-century presbytery with stone walls and beamed ceilings houses a small and charming hotel and the acclaimed restaurant of the same name. Rooms are comfortable but small, except for the attic suite, which has a private living room; room Nos. 2 and 3 have a view of the harbor. All are equipped with large modern bathrooms and hot tubs. The elegant and cozy reception area is adorned with an imposing stone fireplace. Chef Antoine Ceffrey is famous for his seasonal seafood and fish dishes such as turbot grilled with leeks. On sunny days request a table on the terrace; the restaurant is closed for dinner Monday. The Grenouille brasserie serves simpler fare. Pros: enchanting building; superb restaurant. Cons: small rooms; gawky blend of old/modern furnishings.
