A perfect blend of serene seclusion and homeliness, this 15th-century priory of warm stonework and beams has been tenderly restored; Charming Chantal dispenses homemade marmelade with advice and smiles, alongside dappled shade and poolside loungers (and open fires in winter); Airy bedrooms, clean-line bathrooms and pure decor induce total relaxation, enhanced by a jaccuzzi or hammam. Bedrooms share a tranquil sitting room opening onto a beautiful rustc gardens; You could punt the waterways, cycle country lanes and browse the markets - but La Marienne's hypnotic beauty will tempt you to return

Detailed Reviews
My husband & I spent 3 nights at La Marienne in Sept 2013. We went to this beautiful, quiet region for a long week-end: we were attending a wedding on Sept 7. The minute we entered La Marienne, we knew that we were going to enjoy every minute of our stay. The room "Cocquelicot" was so comfortable, so clean, so quiet, so was the bathroom. Just perfect for a couple like us living a busy life in a huge city.
Francoise & Francois offered us a delighful breakfast evey morning.
They are simply wonderful hosts. If we go back to Vendee, we will book a room again without any hesitation.

La Marienne is a beautiful, calm, welcoming place to spend time. The tranquil environment and friendly hosts made it a delight to return to at the end of some busy days and we'd love to stay there again to discover more of the surrounding area - perhaps actually make it onto the water next time! Francois and Francoise were exceptionally welcoming and it felt like we were staying with them, and yet we were left to enjoy our own space and peace. The rooms were very clean and 'Les Coquelicots' beautifully decorated with a door onto the garden and our own terrace where lots of bread and cheese was eaten. I would definitely return and would recommend staying here to anyone wanting a great base from which to explore the area.

A good base to explore the Marais Poitevin, La Marienne is a well maintained spacious chambre d'hotes recently taken over by new owners.
We did appreciate the warm welcome, the clean pool, the well appointed rooms and the generous breakfast.
The kids happily played around in the big garden and instantly felt at home.

We spent three nights in August 2015. The property is truly tastefully decorated and extremely we'll situated in the heart of the beautiful village. Mr and Mrs Charraud we're extremely helpful and attentive, and already upon arrival and every day provided us with all essential information and information to make a short visit on the island most memorable with young children. Thank you! We will be back.

We have stayed at la Marienne for 2 nights and we had the most exquisite stay. Very friendly and helpful owners. A spectacular attention for the breakfast is given on a daily basis and it is not to be missed ;-) as everything is homemade or local sourced.
The pool was very much appreciated on the warm days we stayed there!!

Myself, my husband and our 1 year old son enjoyed a very relaxing stay at 'La Marienne'.
Francois & Francoise were welcoming and provided us with lots of information & recommendations of where to visit/eat etc. There are some lovely villages & towns in the area, Ile de re and La Rochelle are about an hour away... well worth visiting.
We would love to return some day, thank you.

Splendid house and garden. Plenty of space indoor and outdoor, so it is suitable for all seasons. We had the chance to enjoy the swimming pool after hot days visiting the region. Wonderful and warm hosts. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable about places to eat and things to do. I would recommend and visit them again without a doubt.

We were 6 cyclists who spend a week in France every year. Our stay at La Marienne was voted the best of the trip. The house, garden and pool were wonderful, particularly as the weather was really hot. Francoise was extremely kind and prepared us the most delicious meal to save us having to cycle to find a restaurant. It was a very memorable stay.

We stayed here for three nights and wanted to stay longer. We have travelled a lot in France and Francois and Francoise have to be two of the loveliest hosts we've ever met. Very helpful, extremely generous with the plum juice. The accommodation and breakfast were perfect. In fact, I can't fault it at all. Highly recommended.

Bonjour,
actuellement, le tarif pour une nuit 2 personnes est de 78.00 euros, mais je ne connais pas les tarifs 2017 mais je pense qu'il n'y aura pas de grand changement.
