“Les Chambres de l’Abbaye” Hotel
Nights at the abbey : asceticism and a feast for the soul
Right next to the jewel of Romanesque art that is the abbey church lie the convent buildings housing the nuns’ cells. The first-floor cells have been converted into hotel rooms and now offer you original nights and an intimate feel for the abbey.
To access the cells, you must ascend the magnificent stone staircase and take a long, vaulted corridor. The shell-white stone, original floors, beautiful vaulted ceilings and intended minimalism set the tone for the night. No television here, and the facilities are on the landing for most of the rooms. We offer a special brand of asceticism so you can enjoy the essentials: quiet, serenity and soulfulness. 33 rooms open onto the courtyard and garden. Prices start at €45 a night.
Les Chambres de l’Abbaye Hotel has a “bike shelter” label. Saintes is home to La Flow Vélo, a new, national cycling route spanning 290 km, which connects Thiviers in the Dordogne to the Ile d’Aix in Charentes. We have a secure building for your bikes.
