This Relais & Châteaux property enjoys a reputation as one of the best gastronomic hotels in the region . This , coupled with its enviable location in attractive floral gardens opposite the sandy beach at La Baule , makes for an ideal situation in southern Brittany . The Castel Marie-Louise dates from the 19th-century and was once a private residence . It has been lovingly converted into a sumptuous , intimate hotel where the emphasis is on fine dining and hospitality . The 29 rooms and 2 suites are individually decorated with traditional furnishings in a period style . The fairytale ambience of the property is further enhanced by several four-poster beds , the abundance of luxurious fabrics , and the turrets that adorn the exterior . The friendly staff offer service of the highest order , and in the Michelin-starred restaurant , the chef imaginatively combines traditional dishes with more original creations using the best local produce that is in season . The dining experience can be made even more special by choosing a bottle from the wonderful wine cellar with the help of the Sommelier . If you can bear to drag yourself away from the tranquil grounds of the hotel , the chic resort of La Baule offers an array of leisure activities , including a 45-hole golf course , thalassotherapy centre and numerous shops and boutiques . Its beach , deservedly acknowledged as one of the best in Europe , boasts nearly six miles of fine white sand . This is an ideal hotel for a gastronomic break or an intimate honeymoon .
