With romantic rocky shores and some stunning sandy beaches, Brittany is holiday heaven. If you love seafood, you’ll be in your element – langoustines and oysters grace every menu. Come for a romantic retreat à deux, with a wellness focus – or bring the children for a history-laced break they’ll remember with wonder. We’ve found the best places to stay in Brittany, from a grande-dame hotel to an atmospheric auberge.

Right in the heart of Saint-Malo’s Old Town, Le Grande Bé is a sumptuous 56-room four-star retreat that’s super-handy for the popular sandy stretch of Plage de Bon-Secours. (Private parking is a bonus, with electric charging.) Rooms are urban-funky – pine-pale floors and pared-down white beds. There’s a rooftop terrace, a bar and an excellent restaurant. You can step out and in a matter of minutes be wandering Saint-Malo’s ramparts. Whatever you do, make a date with the wellness centre and spa in the 17th-century stone vaults.

This part of Brittany is up there among the finest holiday territory in France: explore imposing rose-coloured rock formations, venture out on coastal walks and go swimming in pretty coves. Newly renovated, Le Castel Beau Site is aptly named: a beautiful spot on the Pink Granite coast it is indeed. It has 32 light-filled contemporary suites and rooms – the Sea View Suite is a stunner, with its big wall-hung framed mirrors and snow-white fabric armchairs. Don’t miss dining in: first-class local seafood and a carefully compiled wine list await you in the excellent restaurant.

Centrally located, close to Nantes station and next to a leafy park, Hotel Le Sozo takes you closer to heaven in more ways than one: it’s set in a 19th-century former chapel, with decor that’s an earthy delight: white and black against grey stone, with eye-popping splashes of chartreuse, purple and fuchsia. Rooms are comfortable with high quality linens. Some have gothic arches and stained-glass windows, adding to the drama. If you want to nourish body and soul further, there’s a wellness centre with a sauna, hammam and ice-room.

Blessed with a mild climate year-round, Dinard is a delightful holiday town on Brittany’s Cote d’Emeraude – and this grande dame is the place to stay, looking across the Rance estuary to the ramparts of Saint-Malo. Luxurious rooms pick up decoratively on those marine views, recently refreshed in warm creams with touches of blue. You might ride a bike on the beach, follow the boardwalk into town or take the sea bus to Saint-Malo in under 10 minutes. Sip a cocktail at the 333 Café before dinner at Le George V: oysters, perhaps, or roasted hake in white-wine sauce with risotto.

    Located between Vannes and Nantes, La Roche-Bernard is one of the prettiest places in Brittany: would-be sailors visit for boat trips, while landlubbers come for country walks. This is a traditional auberge, which inhabits an old stone-built house. Perched at the top of town, it’s the perfect base from which to explore southern Brittany. It has characterful, comfortable rooms with old-world charm – claret-red carpets, curly-legged Empire chairs, clawfoot tubs in some – and the restaurant works wonders with the likes of scallops, langoustine and (in puddings) hazelnuts.

    The Ascott is set in an elegant former gentleman’s townhouse in a residential neighbourhood of Saint-Servan – a town 2mi from Saint-Malo.

Don’t miss the museum at the 14th-century Solidor Tower, built overlooking the mouth of the Rance estuary in Saint-Malo.
