About
Le Valmarin is a unique address in Saint-Malo: an 18th-century malouinière turned into a small hotel, surrounded by walled, wooded grounds. It has 11 rooms for up to 26 guests, with parking, a bar, a garden, bike storage and a far more residential atmosphere than the large hotels on the Sillon. Its location near Saint-Servan, Alet and Solidor particularly suits couples who want to discover another side of Saint-Malo.

- The walled, wooded grounds are one of its main assets.
- 11 rooms for up to 26 guests.
