About
The Domaine de la Bretesche lies in Missillac, around the château and its lake, in a landscaped estate of about 200 hectares. It combines a hotel, villas, cottages, golf, a spa and restaurants in a very large setting. Rated 5 stars and a member of Relais & Châteaux, the estate lists about 31 hotel rooms, 9 villas and 13 cottages in its 2026 brochure. Hotel rooms come in several categories, from about twenty square metres to more than 40 or 50 m² for some Junior Suites. Villas and cottages give more independence for families or longer stays. The La Bretesche golf course is one of the estate’s main features. The 18-hole course was designed by Henry Cotton and runs for about 6,015 metres, with views of the château and the lake. The Spa de la Cour Carrée works with Cinq Mondes and Omnisens. It has a heated indoor pool under a glass roof and several treatment areas. A heated outdoor pool is also open in season. Fitness, tennis, bikes and walks in the park add variety. The estate also has a vegetable garden and works on permaculture. In 2026, Le Club is the estate’s main restaurant. Chef Filipe Silvestre serves more brasserie-style food at lunch and more refined cooking in the evening. Le Montaigu is now mainly used for breakfast and private events. La Bretesche suits a couple’s weekend, a golf stay, a seminar or several days with family between Nantes, La Baule, Guérande and the Brière regional nature park.
