We loved this hotel. After spending three days in beautiful but hectic Paris, we took the TGV to La Rochelle and then for 4 Euros a bus with large luggage space to within a block of La Galiote. The owners are warm and accomodating. Really this has more of a bed and breakfast feel. We stayed in #8 which was... more

Though this hotel is perhaps more expensive then some,we thought it was well worth the money to be away from the popular ,pretty centre of La Flotte. Leaving the car in the secure car park and strolling down to the harbour was most relaxing. Our peaceful room was spotlessly clean and simply,but stylishly decorated. Madame gave us a warm and... more

Booked this hotel for 4 days on the basis of the excellent reviews on this site. We were not disappointed. The welcome was very friendly as was the service throughout our stay. Not much English is spoken but with a little school French it is possible to manage. The room was modern and very comfortable. If the bedroom was a... more

This is a gem of a hotel. It is spotless and the owners are so friendly. The rooms are bright an spacious. It is close to the town centre, but quiet. Highly recommended. more

We have stayed many, many times at La Galiote. We stumbled upon it accidently and must say it was a lucky find. It is in the best village in Ile de Re and we have stayed in a fair few of them. We have mixed feelings about adding a review because we'd like to keep the place to ourselves but... more

For us La Flotte is the nicest village in Ill de Re. Very pretty, lovely harbour/marina, pretty houses in white with green window shutters, good market every morning, lovely people and very peaceful. We stayed at the Hotel La Galiote, 7 Avenue du 8 Mai, La Flotte, Ile de Re, 17630, Tel: 0033 546095095, www.hotellagaliote.com/. It is relatively new with... more

Booked this as part of a week in France which started in Pauillac, where we completed the Marathon du Medoc, then Bordeaux which was magnificent and on to Ile de Re. We had booked accomodation using TripAdvisor for advice and La Galiote is worthy of its rating as a top hotel in the fantastic location of La Flotte. We were... more

I recently stayed at the Galiote as a result of a recommendation from two English friends. As it was a business trip that I had booked with two of my French students (adults) I was relieved that they were as impressed as I was with the Hotel. Marie-Claude and Jean were excellent (and they haven't paid me to say this!).... more

Three of us took rooms for three nights and we were all impressed with the quality of the rooms and the breakfast. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The ultimate question is to ask whether one would return - and the answer is YES, I intend to! Chris more
