Welcome to Solenne

A small hotel on a quiet cliff

Solenne was a family house before it was a hotel, and it still runs like one. Breakfast is late, the shutters are heavy, the stairs go down to the sea and nobody will ask you to hurry.

Twenty-four rooms

Small enough that the front desk knows your name by the second morning.

The house in numbers

Small by design

We could have added a second wing. We planted more lemon trees instead.

Guest notes

Loved by returning guests

We came for three nights and stayed for six. The room smelled of lemons and the sea was right there every time we opened the shutters.
