Christine is an exceptional host. Les Cles d’Ars is a stylish, elegant and very comfortable hotel and Christine is very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast is beautifully prepared and delicious. We will definitely be returning!

Lovely b&b with beautiful rooms, located right in the center of Ars. Very friendly and helpful owners. The breakfast served in the backyard was super good!

Nothing, everything was exceptional.

This was the best place we've stayed and highly recommend it to make your stay special. Excellent hosts who are warm and welcoming and invest in your stay with great recommendations. The breakfast is a perfect way to start each day; delicious and generous selection of food served on beautiful crockery and tableware. The house itself is incredibly tasteful, with modern art and design, beautiful linens, a gorgeous lounge and dining area, the courtyard is a little oasis. The room was lovely, with beds made each day and water replenished. Teas, nice soap and shampoo provided. The bath is situated infront of shuttered windows which is lovely and relaxing. 11/10

This is a tiny hotel, offering a unique experience and exceptional level of comfort. The owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home. It's a beautiful, stylish home, with a reading room and a beautiful shady courtyard where breakfast is served in high style, and where guests can sit and read or converse by day. Breakfast was delicious. The huge bed was firm, with comfy pillows and real linen sheets - perfect for a good night's sleep in a heatwave. We loved the opportunity to explore the salt marshes and beaches of this part of the island, furthest from the land bridge. The bike hire shop opposite was super convenient and friendly too. Finally, I have to mention Ganesh the resident dog, a beautiful elephant grey Wiemaran. He is a real character, a gentle giant. We would love to come again.

nothing everything was lovely

The place is absolutely fabulous, we stayed for 4 nights and couldn’t have been better looked after, it is perfect boutique accommodation in a tranquil location. The hosts are attentive and the room & breakfast was perfect in a beautiful courtyard setting. We would definitely love to return & completely agree with how it scores so high in the ratings. A perfect romantic escape.

A beautiful property, so quaint and comfortable. lovely rooms, with real style and the most wonderful kind hosts. Breakfast is delicious, served completely fresh, and the property is right next to the beautiful little harbour with some excellent restaurants. Bike hire right opposite - couldn’t be more perfect!

Fantastic location, charming artistic decor. Christine and Arnaud were so helpful with arrangements both before and during our stay. The room was lovely and a delicious breakfast each morning.

Nothing! Maybe if there is another extreme heatwave like the one we had a fan might be helpful, otherwise everything is perfect!

we loved staying at Les Cles, it was a beautiful house, with a delightful courtyard where we had the best breakfast every morning, and the loveliest rooms, very tastefully decorated. Christine and Arnaud are wonderful hosts, super helpful and accommodating!

NOTHING

Everything, absolutely everything. Its very central location, few steps away from the port, the daily market, the church, and a lovely stroll to the closest beach. The interiors are beautiful decorated, with taste. The patio stays fresh, even during the hottest days we encountered (40C). Breakfast was served there every morning - absolutely delightful: freshly pressed fruit juice, fresh fruit salad, locally sources egg, yogurt and cheeses, bread and pastries, a selection of Frères Mariage teas and freshly brewed coffee, on a served on a table elegantly set. The Hosts are attentive, caring and dedicated to make one’s stay memorable. The room and bathroom were equally beautifully decorated with a great attention to details (products from Aesop), bedsheets in linen, etc. There are only three bedrooms on the property so its feels incredibly exclusive.

There was very little not to like. My only comment might be to consider placing fans in the bedrooms to help with sleep during very hot weather. Other than that, perfect!

This was an excellent BnB in the middle of beautiful Ars en Re. The rooms were well appointed, the courtyard was delightful, breakfast delicious and hosts extremely accommodating.

Nothing! It was Perfect! But if you're trying to choose a town to stay in, Ars en re is on the quiet side, a lot less busy than Saint Martin or Le Flott, but if you have a car those towns are easy to travel to for a day trip. I'd say this location is perfect for a weekend but probably for not a long stay due to it being quite small.

Everything was modern, clean, and private/quiet. The breakfast was divine and the hosts are very sweet + helpful with local tips. The rooms are quite separate so you still have a lot of privacy during your stay. Their dog Ganesh was also a highlight of the property! There are markets on most days, only a 2 min walk away, which we went to a couple of times for food and browsing.

Honestly, we really can't think of anything we didn't like about Les Clés d'Ars.

After spending six nights at Les Clés d’Ars in May '22, we both thought this was one of the loveliest places we've ever stayed, anywhere. Christine and Arnaud have created a calm, tasteful oasis in Ars en Ré; genuinely, a tiny piece of paradise on Île de Ré. They are both experts in hospitality and it really shows. They made us feel so welcome in a warm, kind but discreet way. We really did feel as if we were staying with close family friends. The common areas of this exceptional location have been carefully designed in a really tasteful, timeless way. So you feel as if you are staying in an exclusive hotel, even though it's a three-room guest house. The centrepiece is a cool, private courtyard, surrounded by climbing plants, and birdsong that leaves you feeling as if you're enjoying breakfast in a forest glade. And Christine's sublime breakfasts' legendary status is richly deserved (warning: they're also extremely generous. The fresh juice, fresh fruit, granola, yoghurt, great coffee and basket of bread and pastries left us full all morning). Our room was excellent, finished to a very high spec with a fantastic overhead shower. We also both slept really soundly, despite being at the front of the building – mainly thanks to the very excellent, firm mattress. There was some street noise one night while we were there (to be expected near the port). But, overall, we found the area was almost silent from 22:00 onwards, even in May. Christine and Arnaud have earned their high rankings on Booking.com and Tripadvisor for good reason and we would recommend them to anyone who's planning to visit this fascinating island.

The bed was hard. Would have liked to have a shower fin the bathroom.

Breakfast was lovely. Our host Christine was very helpful on restaurants and bike rides. We loved everything she recommended.

Stayed in August 2021

Free parking was a little far of a walk, but worth it to stay here.

The owner is very sweet and accommodating. The decor in the building is lovely and breakfast was so peaceful every morning.

Stayed in July 2021

The only thing was it was quite noisy from the street traffic at night as our room overlooked the street. However, everything else about the place made up for the outside noise.

We had a very warm welcome from Christina and her husband. We had a beautiful room. The place was gorgeous, lots of interesting art. Breakfast was incredible, very special.
