Converted into hotel rooms on the 1st floor, the former cells of the nuns today offer visitors unusual nights and an intimate perception of the abbey.
To get there, you have to take the magnificent stone staircase. A long vaulted hallway distribute the rooms. The old floors, the beauty of the vaults, set the tone for the night.

There is no television here, the amenities are on the landing for the majority of the rooms. A form of asceticism to taste the essential: calm, serenity and extra soul.
33 rooms open onto the courtyard and the garden side. Located near the Flow Vélo and the road to Santiago de Compostela, the hotel The Abbey Rooms will seduce cyclists and hikers looking for calm and unusual nights. Its cross-vaulted ceilings, its old floors, the silence of the end of the day from which sometimes escape a few musical notes from the rehearsal rooms constitute the setting for a memorable stay.
After having had a quality breakfast and tasted regional products, you can visit Saintes, labeled City of Art and History and take a walk along the Charente River.
Reception hours : 3 p.m.-8 p.m. For arrivals after 8 p.m., the caretaker hands over the keys.
Means of payment: cash, check, credit card, Visa, Mastercard, holiday vouchers.
