Auberge des Glazicks
Understated Breton inn, contemporary interiors using granite, untreated wood and pebbles, soft natural tones. Not a flashy hotel — it's a chef's house with rooms attached.

Why It Matters
Two Michelin stars held by Chef Olivier Bellin, whose hyper-local Finistère cuisine highlights small-scale producers from the region individually named on the menu. Buckwheat — Brittany's staple grain — is treated like caviar here. One of the most serious gastronomic addresses in western France, housed in a building with genuine multi-generational family roots.
A three-generation family inn that began as a blacksmith's forge in 1870, then became a farmhouse restaurant under chef Olivier Bellin's grandmother. Bellin took over the kitchen in February 1998 and steadily built it into one of Brittany's most decorated gastronomic addresses, earning 2 Michelin stars. Eight individually designed rooms were added to let guests extend the experience, set between the Menez Hom mountain and the bay of Douarnenez with Atlantic views. The hotel side is intimate and calm; the restaurant is the main event.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Île Room
Named after a nearby island (île). Guest reviews describe spacious layout, a very large bed, and a bathroom combining both bath and shower with a separate WC. A small terrace sits between buildings with a partial sea view. Contemporary, stylish interiors in the same natural tone palette across the property.
Menez Brug
The other four-poster room at L'Auberge des Glazicks, named after a local area. Shares the same design vocabulary of natural Breton materials — granite counters, raw wood, pebble details — but with the drama of the canopied bed adding a more romantic feel.
Molène
Named after the island of Molène off the Finistère coast. One of two rooms at the property featuring a four-poster bed. Same natural material palette as the rest of the property — granite, wood, pebbles — with the added theatre of the four-poster. Some rooms in this category have terraces looking out over the bay.
Standard Room (Menez category)
Named after the local mountain Menez Hom, these rooms use granite, untreated wood and pebbles throughout. Natural tones — cream, chocolate or aniseed — with occasional pops from bright cushions. Details nod to the chef's grandfather: ironwork pieces, a pebble-framed mirror, woollen plaid rugs. Bay windows draw the eye toward the bay of Douarnenez. Some have a balcony, others a terrace.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
The bay can be viewed from rooms, terraces and the restaurant. The legendary sunken city of Ys is said to lie beneath these waters — a major piece of Breton mythology. Douarnenez town itself is about 20 km away.
Three large sandy Atlantic beaches are within easy reach of the property — Pentrez Beach being the closest at roughly 6 km. Water sports are available at the beaches in summer.
The two-Michelin-star tasting menu at the on-site restaurant is itself one of the primary activities. Evening meals can run to four or more courses with amuse-bouches, cheese and petit fours, taking the better part of an evening.
Plomodiern sits at the foot of Menez Hom, the highest point in the region at around 330m, with panoramic views across the bay. Kilometres of marked hiking trails lead through the countryside to historic Breton chapels and fountains. The hotel can recommend routes.
