A beautiful, stylish, clean, comfortable, and perfect place to stay. The house and gardens are so beautiful. It’s in a great location and yet very quiet. We slept very well. The hosts were friendly and very helpful, and the breakfast was superb, especially the home made chocolate cake. We loved our stay here very much, and are so sad to leave. Louise and Paul.

Wonderful attentive hosts, beautiful rooms and the most comfortable bed ever, central to the shops/restaurants and Port. There was a lovely pool to relax by, weather permitting. Breakfast was exceptional and a good choice of hot or cold food. Great coffee too!

Very nice and recomendable little hotel! Close to perfect. The hostes were very nice and the location was good and close to everything. The hotel is almost perfect, but there's always something little to make it even better. One thing is that there could (should?) be atleast one English channel on the TV (CCN, BBC World News, or...). A/C would also be an improvement and maybe a standing up shower possibility. These are minor things, but nevertheless.

Very beautiful property conveniently situated at walking distance of the main attractions in Rochefort yet very peaceful. Great garden and swimming pool. Very comfortable rooms, delicious breakfast all of this with the charming owners giving the best advices on things to do and places to eat in the area. Highly recommended, I will definitely go back and bring friends and family!

What a fabulous place to stay. The proprietor’s, Pascal and Sandrine are most welcoming, warm, and generous hosts. Their home has quite a history yet is furnished in a contemporary design led manner, it’s wonderful and even has a swimming pool in the garden which guests can use, along with private parking to give added value as street parking is chargeable. Le petit-dejeuner (breakfasts) are quite the treat, and in addition to the apple juice, fresh fruit/bread/croissants/yogurt/ham and cheeses, etc. Sandrine freshly cooks something different each morning; french toast, waffles, etc. all with copious amounts of coffee /tea. Rochefort is lovely with a naval background and has some fantastic restaurants which Pascal and Sandrine can advise upon, all just a short walk away from Espirit du 8 which is ideally situated just off the historic city centre. Saturday sees a very busy market in the historic city centre. We loved all of it.

This place is highly recommended. Wife and I stayed three nights: hosts Pascal & Sandrine are super-friendly and helpful, breakfast is great, Rochefort is a bit dull but has some great restaurants (Les Beatilles is particularly good) so no issue that they do not provide lunch or dinner. We were unlucky with the weather so did not use the pool but outside area is very cute and well-maintained. Each room is based around a well-known designer (we stayed in the Florence Knoll which was beautiful and spacious with a super-king bed). There are more design pieces downstairs including furniture. Road outside is quiet. Rochefort is a great location for visiting Ile-De-Re, Saintes, Fouras and many other beautiful locations nearby.
