We are a couple of passionate entrepreneurs. Through this guest house project, we wanted to spread our hospitality, our attachment to the Ile de Ré and our passion for art, crafts, design and gastronomy. Bordered by a multi-faceted coastline, the Ile de Ré is as seductive as it is inspiring, thanks in particular to the experiences you can have and the local delicacies that awaken the senses. I say, "A land of artists, inspired by the winds. A place to laze around, where slow life becomes an art of living. An invitation to let go and escape.”
The house is located in the village between the dunes and the marshes, just five minutes from the ocean and a stone's throw from the town centre. It consists of four houses in typical Ile de Ré village architectural style; that is, a white facade bathed in sunlight and a very slightly sloping roof covered with terracotta tiles. The layout of the hamlet separates the houses and their gardens without partitioning them to allow for individual or complete privacy. A wine storehouse has been completely refurbished and conceals a swimming pool and a cool oasis behind it. The refurbishment focused on rethinking the spaces, simplifying the volumes and making the most of the existing features to bring the local character back to life while adding modern comforts.
The project was launched in 2017 when we bought a farm building, a former wine storehouse and a plot of land. Since the 19th century, the walls of these buildings have soaked up the sea breeze and the Charente sun, and have been imbibed with the passing of the seasons, the stories of life and the lightness typical of the Ile of Ré art of living. We completely renovated this former farming hamlet, set in a natural environment that feels like you are hidden from the rest of the world. It can now be a family home, a holiday home, a retreat or a refuge to take a break from daily life. Our homes provide an inspiring and inventive base for making memories and carrying forward a colourful history.
Between the dunes and the forest, number 322 features four lively homes with elegant, distinguished personalities. You'll feel right at home here for a summer, a relaxing break or a weekend getaway. Available to rent as individual guest rooms or as a complete guest house, the four residences are interconnected so you can tailor your stay to suit your needs, and each has a concierge service available throughout your stay. Here, celebrate every moment, savour a gentle way of life and regional dishes with an entirely local meal offering, let your imagination run free, cook in the island light, bask in the softness of the surroundings and recharge your batteries with a made-to-measure programme devised by the owners.

Pain Laurent L'Hénaff's organic, traditional sourdough bread is quite simply the best on the island.
The venue can be rented out in full and adapted for private events, receptions and celebrations throughout the year. The owners and their team have a background in events management, and can call on their skills and network of local craftsmen to offer a premium turnkey reception service and a catalogue of à la carte services.
