Résid’ Spa -Loire & Sèvre

Description

Let me tell you about one of France’s hidden gems that I recently discovered – the Résid’ Spa Loire & Sèvre. Having stayed there myself, I can tell you it’s not your typical hotel setup. Instead, imagine modern apartment-style living with all the perks of a luxury resort. The property features a collection of contemporary houses, studios, and apartments that seriously impressed me with their clean lines and thoughtful design.

But what really got me excited was how they’ve managed to blend the comfort of home with proper holiday indulgence. Y’know what I mean? Like, you’ve got your own space to spread out and maybe cook a meal when you feel like it, but there’s also this gorgeous indoor pool that I spent way too much time in (no regrets!).

The spa area became my daily retreat – I mean, who doesn’t love a bit of pampering on vacation? And the gardens… oh my goodness, the gardens! They’re perfect for those lazy afternoon walks or morning coffee moments. Plus, the free Wi-Fi actually works everywhere (trust me, that’s not always a given in French hotels).

Key Features

• Spacious, modern apartments and studios with fully-equipped kitchenettes
• Luxurious indoor swimming pool (heated year-round!)
• Professional spa facilities offering various treatments
• Beautiful maintained gardens for relaxation
• Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi throughout
• Self-catering facilities in each unit

• Flexible accommodation options for different group sizes
• Private parking available

Best Time to Visit

From my experience, the sweet spot for visiting is between May and September. The weather’s just perfect then – warm but not scorching – and you can really make the most of those gorgeous gardens. But here’s a little insider tip: if you’re looking to save some cash and don’t mind slightly cooler temps, March-April or October can be absolutely lovely too. The indoor pool’s heated anyway, so you won’t miss out on swimming!

I actually prefer visiting during the shoulder season (September-October) when there are fewer tourists around and you can get better rates. Plus, the fall colors in the garden are absolutely stunning. Just remember to pack a light jacket for those crisp evenings.

How to Get There

Getting to Résid’ Spa Loire & Sèvre is pretty straightforward, actually. If you’re flying in, Nantes Atlantique Airport is your best bet – it’s about an hour’s drive away. I’d definitely recommend renting a car, especially if you’re planning to explore the Loire Valley (which you totally should!).

If you’re coming by train, there’s a station nearby with good connections to Paris and other major French cities. The journey from Paris takes roughly 2.5 hours on the high-speed TGV – I dozed off for a bit and before I knew it, we were there!

For those driving, the property is easily accessible from the A87 motorway. Just keep an eye out for the local signs – my GPS tried to take me on a weird detour, but following the road signs worked better.

Tips for Visiting

Ok, so here’s what I wish someone had told me before my stay. First off, book your spa treatments in advance – especially during peak season. I made the mistake of waiting until I arrived and missed out on my preferred massage time.

The kitchenettes are really well-equipped, so don’t hesitate to grab some local produce from the nearby markets. I saved quite a bit by preparing some meals myself, plus it’s fun cooking with fresh French ingredients!

If you’re staying more than a few days, ask for a room with a garden view – totally worth it. And while the Wi-Fi is great, download some entertainment before arriving if you’re particular about your shows (French TV can be… interesting).

Oh, and bring your swimming gear regardless of when you visit. That indoor pool is too good to miss, and sometimes I had it all to myself during off-peak hours. Speaking of which, try hitting the spa facilities early in the morning or later in the evening – it’s usually quieter then.

Last but not least, don’t forget to explore the surrounding area. The Loire Valley is famous for its châteaux and vineyards, and you’re perfectly positioned to visit them. I found some amazing local wineries just a short drive away – definitely worth adding to your itinerary!
