LE SECRET

"Le Lanternon is a hidden jewel, curated to perfection by its wonderful and warm owner, Jerome. The building itself is very beautiful, with parquet floors high ceilings and many original features. Jerome has taken much care and effort to restore it, while also providing every comfort you may require. Breakfast each morning was delicious, served on beautiful hand made pottery. Coffee, tea and water on tap and an honour bar. The rooms are spacious, peaceful and cool. It’s best to think of it as a lovely private home to which you are invited to stay, rather than an unoriginal five star luxury hotel. To come with that expectation is to miss the point entirely. We have now stayed there for two years running and intend to make a regular annual pilgrimage. It could not be in a better location, right in the heart of St Martin, a charming port village with great restaurants and shops."

"That we could not stay longer!"

"The location was super, decor exquisite and the host were very welcoming!"

"Aucun."

"We loved the artsy, bohemian vibe; the gorgeous dog, Phenix, the charming owner Jerome and his delightful colleague, Lucille. The location was fantastic just a shade away from the busy-ness of the harbour but also a stone's throw of the amenities."

"Aucun."

"Lovely boutique style hotel. Amazing central location with pretty, tranquil garden and plunge pool"

"We had a garden room with a mezzanine floor which was beautiful but very hot making it a challenge to sleep well. There was a fan. The age of the building probably means AC is not an option but would have been welcome. This issue was only a small set back to our stay."

"Location is perfect and Jerome and team are so friendly and helpful."

"The 5pm check in is quite late & hotel only staffed until 8pm it would be nice to be able to have a drink in the lovely bar area when you return from dinner."

"This is an absolutely beautiful hotel. Incredibly stylish and comfortable. The location is fantastic, very central and close to all the restaurants and shops. Jérôme is a great host and is there for any questions or advice you need. Our room was really well laid out and could be in a magazine. Interior decorations overall are very imaginative and well sourced. We enjoyed reading and hanging out in the salon area. Very comfortable. We highly recommend."

"St Martin is a pedestrianised town and there is virtually no parking anywhere in the centre. However, there is paid parking a 3 minute walk away and free parking 10 minutes away. We unloaded our luggage in front of the hotel then used the free parking. It was really easy in the end."

"Our hosts were ever charming and helpful. The accommodation was stylish, comfortable and a peaceful and relaxing retreat from the bustle of the port."

"Nothing at all! I have read some of the other recent reviews and have some concern that visitors haven't realised that this is a guest house rather than a hotel. If you want room service, air conditioning, daily fresh towels and a 24 hour lobby service it probably best to go elsewhere. If you want a relaxed, unstructured holiday home, with an easy going host then this is clearly more you thing."

"Great Location, beautifully designed & warm welcome,"

"Late check-in time!"

"Beautiful interior, amazing location, really friendly owners, incredible breakfast. Lovely and relaxing communal areas - while it’s a hotel you feel very at home and relaxed here"

"Nothing! We loved it all. We would DEFINITELY come back again and recommend it to friends/ family."

"Location wise this hotel is second to none, being in the Harbour. from the moment you enter you see the mix of history with considered style and architecture, that works perfectly. If you get chance to small room at the top of the hotel is perfect for seeing the whole of St Martin de Re whilst being able the reflect and relax. An amazing place to stay"

"hard to say.. the weather.. it rained 1 day, thats it nothing to do with the hotel at all"
