  A cool reception when we arrived, but the hotel was clean. The pool and pool area are kept clean and the breakfasts are very good indeed, with plenty of choice.The hotel demanded 200€ deposit in case of damage, which they said would be refunded when we left and the room had been checked. I paid this with my UK debit card. The money was debited straight away. After two days I had still not received the money back, so I rang the hotel, who told me that because it was a UK card, I would have to wait a month. I stayed polite but was really put out with their pathetic excuses, and this left a very sour taste in my mouth. Having contacted the bank, they told me that I would have the money back within a week, which I did, but beware!

  Very nice hotel, just mind the extras

  10 Sept 2024

  The hotel is excellently located, on the quiet side of a quiet town next to a vineyard. The rooms are large (duplex) , well appointed and clean. All the amenities gave a well maintained impression. Only real gripe was the extra cost for parking: €15 per day or €40 per day for a space next to a charger. That seemed extortionate, especially since you can just park in front. Stephane Heraudeau, Propriétaire at Les Vignes De La Chapelle, The Originals Relais, responded to this review Dear Sir,Thank you very much for staying at our hotel in Rete and for giving us this perfect score.As you point out, our spacious, comfortable rooms have been designed to offer you a cosy, welcoming cocoon after a fine day out walking the island's trails.Parking is available at an additional cost of 15 euros (40 euros for a space with a charging point, which is modest compared with the high cost of charging a Tesla, which is much more than the 25 euro difference), as in most of the island's establishments. It has the advantage of being private and secured by a digicode, and we remain convinced that this offer remains a real advantage and contributes to a serene stay. We hope that you will choose to return to Les Vignes de la Chapelle to fully enjoy the authentic charm of our beautiful region.ÉlodieQuality Service+33 5 46 30 20 30

  A little paradise!

  19 Aug 2024

  We (me, my wife and my two 15 year old twins) stayed in this nice boutique hotel for 2 weeks in August 2024. For us, it was an ideal location in Set Marie de Ré with nice rooms and a very friendly team. We rented bikes directly at the hotel and took the upgrade to have a little kitchen area for dinner independence. Sure, there are very nice restaurants on the island, but the evenings on our terrace were best! We will come here again! Stephane Heraudeau, Propriétaire at Les Vignes De La Chapelle, The Originals Relais, responded to this review Dear guest,It gives us great pleasure to read your wonderful review! You have appreciated the advantages of our location in the heart of Sainte-Marie-de-Ré, close to all amenities while enjoying a peaceful setting surrounded by vineyards. Our team is delighted to have contributed to the success of your holiday with their warm welcome. It's also good to know that our rooms met your expectations and that you particularly liked the kitchenette, which allowed you to prepare a few meals on your own. As you mentioned, nothing beats those wonderful moments of conviviality on the private terrace after a beautiful day cycling the island's trails!Thank you for highlighting the quality of our services. Our aim is to make every stay a moment of well-being and change of scenery in the heart of the gentle Retais countryside.Your loyalty means a lot to us and we look forward to welcoming you back!ÉlodieQuality Service+33 5 46 30 20 30
