Located just outside Fontenay-le-Comte, the Elias is a single-story hotel situated on 12,000 sq. m. of green space in the French countryside. A visit to Fontenay-le-Comte's historic city center will give you a glimpse into the past; and opportunities abound to admire classic old French architecture in local structures such as the Castle of Newfoundland, The Abbey of Eleanor, The Cathedral of Luzon, and the Castle of Richard the Lion heart in Talmont St Hilaire. The hotel offers a courtyard at the center of the property with a bench on which to relax and absorb the fresh air and sunshine after a long day of driving. If napping is what you’d prefer, the hotel’s single-story feature creates a quiet environment in your room since you won’t have to worry about the footsteps of other guests above you. In the evening, enjoy dinner in the hotel’s restaurant, where meals are prepared from local and regional products, then close out your day by relaxing with a drink at the bar.
