In the heart of the Bois de la Chaise, a stone's throw from des Dames and des Sableaux beaches,the Arthus-Bertrand Villa cultivates a unique story, a house of memory, transmission and gentleness. Behind its white shutters and Victorian-inspired architecture lies a century-old house, imbued with memories, passion and the French art of living that has endured through the ages without ever going out of fashion.

Built in 1905 under the name Château du Pélavé, The Villa Arthus-Bertrand is the last residence to be built on this unspoilt site, nestled between maritime pines, holm oaks and palm trees from Morocco. Its delicate architecture evokes the gentle resort atmosphere of yesteryear, when time seemed to slow to the rhythm of the tides and family summers. Long a vacation home, it was the scene of children's laughter, of lunches in the shade of trees, of lived-in silences. A beloved, living, deeply inhabited home.

La Villa is above all a story of transmission. Deeply committed to Noirmoutier, In the heart of the island for several generations, the family Arthus-Bertrand one day discovered this sleeping house, lying there like a well-kept secret. In 2019, she acquired it with the aim of bringing it back to life, without altering its character. For three years, the house was restored with passion, attention to detail and respect. Every architectural choice, every material, every color is designed to echo the spirit of the house. its history. In 2022, the Villa reopens its doors. Faithful to what it has always been: a warm family home, open to the world, ready to welcome those looking for a little more than just a place to sleep.

Today, the Villa Arthus-Bertrand is a 4-star hotel in a class of its own. More than a place to stay, it's a place to live. There's no pomp here, just an intimate, elegant atmosphere, where every detail invites you to relax. Its 18 rooms and suites with its light-filled lounge-library and luminous, plant-filled glass roof, create a setting that's perfect for getting away from it all. The tree-lined garden, the heated outdoor pool, bicycles available for use, Everything has been designed to offer everyone a gentle and authentic break. A precious pause, in tune with the rhythm of the island.
