Ermitage Mont-Saint-Michel
French country estate meets boutique luxury — clawfoot tubs, wooden headboards, warm colour schemes. Quiet and intimate rather than grand. The kind of place where the owner drives you to the shuttle stop if you need it.
Book the half-board package for the best value — it includes breakfast and a 3-course dinner at the Michelin-listed restaurant
Why It Matters
Claims the title of smallest five-star hotel in France and Europe, with just seven rooms. The on-site restaurant, La Table de l'Ermitage, earned a Michelin Guide listing in 2025. It's also the only five-star accommodation option within easy reach of Mont Saint-Michel.
France's smallest five-star hotel, and proud of it. L'Ermitage is a 19th-century coaching inn tucked into the village of Beauvoir, 4 km from Mont Saint-Michel. Seven rooms and suites — all soundproofed, all with private balconies or terraces — sit inside a stone villa surrounded by gardens. The owner Werner Behra personally greets guests and hands out his personal mobile number. Rooms book up well ahead, especially in summer.
