Meet Christelle and Benoît at their 3-star hotel in Fontevraud-l'Abbaye, near Saumur.
This hotel is signatory of The Originals Health Commitment Charter.
Beauty, quiet and calm in a place brimming with history. A warm welcome and family cooking. Welcome to Christelle Marie Amélie and Benoît de Courcy's hotel.
Before becoming a 3-star hotel, Le Domaine de Mestré, The Originals Relais had been a family home for generations since 1791. This was the year Marie Amélie’s family bought the land which used to be Fontevraud Abbey’s main farm. By the twelfth century this place known as “Mestré’s lodgings” was already welcoming pilgrims. But it was not until the 1980s that Marie Amélie’s parents returned the estate to its former vocation by starting to manage bedrooms and evening meals. A few years ago, it was re-classified as a hotel/restaurant and has enjoyed great success. Marie Amélie and her husband took over in 2013 and well knows the secret of this success: “Our guests feel like they already know the place as they’ve all got memories of holidays with their grandma, aunt, friends, etc... When they come into Mestré they rediscover something of their roots.” There's no doubt that this is your perfect place to stay in Fontevraud-l'Abbaye, near Saumur.
