La Résidence des Indes

An ideal location and place to stay Beautiful house that is almost like a museum. Friendly and helpful hosts. Well located and very quiet. Perfect

Great Stay! Amazing place, a beautiful large room overlooking the patio, great renovated bathroom and a spacious walk-in closet. The location is perfect, just minutes away from the port. Highly recommend!

This property is a lovely historic house with beautiful decor and well appointed rooms. It is a very unique guest house with a lot of art, sculptures and antiques. The owners are very friendly. The continental breakfast was simple but a nice way to start the day. The ******* description of the guesthouse says the property has a cafe, 18-hole golf course and 2 beach bars, which is not accurate. However, there is mini-golf and a river in the park nearby, but it's not part of the property. There is no daily housekeeping, but you can ask for clean towels.

Clean towels with very nice smell.comfy bed. Very nice freindly owners.

This is not your average B&B. This is something quite special and I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to stay there. This is a beautiful old house which has been restored over many years - a real labour of love for the owners Michel & Beroze. The house is full of art, books, artefacts and historical pieces which have been collected by Michel and his late father on their world travels. This private collection is displayed throughout the house and as guests you are free to view it and spend time in the lovely rooms or outside in the garden or courtyard. Michel and Beroze are wonderful hosts and always on hand to talk about the collection, to advise on things to do in La Rochelle or just talk about life in general. Beroze has some great recommendations for restaurants and will happily make reservations for you. We stayed in the India room at the front of the building and the bed is one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. The room is spacious and tastefully furnished and decorated. The room overlooks the street but there was no real noise from the road. Just be aware that you can’t really have windows open at night as it is ground floor. Due to the rooms containing also artefacts, be aware that there is strictly no eating or drinking allowed in the bedrooms. We loved the continental breakfast - tea/coffee, fruit juice, yogurt, bread and jam, cakes/pastries, cheese and fresh fruit. We stayed for 5 nights and Beroze made a real effort to provide different things each day. There is a lovely tea room on site open during the summer from 3-8pm serving delicious cakes and a wide selection of teas. The property location is great - very central but just out of the hubbub. We arrived by train and it was an easy 15 minute walk to the house. If you want an anonymous mainstream and bland B&B then this is not for you. But if you’d like an eye-opening, interesting and thought provoking place to stay then this could be perfect.
