Hôtel Le Romantica

Nestled in the heart of nature, the charming La Romantica hotel is waiting to welcome you. With its attractive traditional architecture, this relatively small hotel, with just thirty-five rooms, feels homely and personal with its warm and cosy décor balanced with a contemporary feel. Each room boasts a delightful balcony or terrace that you can sit on and admire the surrounding views.

The local sandy beach is on your doorstep, taking just under half an hour to walk to or a quicker five-minute drive. You can also easily access the fantastic Breuil Wood, a 120-ha forest bursting with giant old oaks, tall silver-barked birches, sweet-smelling yews, and pines. Make sure to walk the magnificent beech tree alleys and take in the flowering rhododendrons. Expect to be wowed by incredible vistas of the sea, nearby Le Havre, and the Seine estuary.

You'll find the amiable and attentive hotel staff are happy to help you with whatever you need, including offering the best tips on what to see and do in the region. Exploring the art galleries in Honfleur, where the Seine River meets the English Channel, is a must-do. Its Vieux-Bassin (old harbour) is lined with 16th- to 18th-century townhouses and has inspired many artists, including Claude Monet. Deauville is also not to be missed; its wide sandy beach is backed by Les Planches, a 1920s boardwalk with attractive bathing cabins, and its town offers many chic boutiques to explore.

Back at the hotel, take a dip in either the heated indoor pool or, if the sun is shining, cool off in the pretty outdoor pool. Freshen up and then enjoy a pre-dinner tipple in the inviting hotel bar before experiencing the exceptional dining experience offered by the hotel's restaurant, with a changing menu of delicious local cuisine made with fresh seasonal produce.
