Villa Kerasy Hotel Spa

Once a private residence built sometime in the 1920s, Villa Kerasy has since been transformed into a cute and charming boutique hotel that seeks to bridge the cultures of France and those of the Asian continent. The owners, Jean-Jacques Violo and Serge Plumer, are big fans of Asian culture and have various business endeavors in Vannes centered on representing the beautiful East.

Since opening Villa Kerasy in 2000, they have decorated the hotel using authentic artworks and curios they've found during their visits to the Orient. Their goal is to make guests feel like explorers and navigators, inspiring interest in the continent and countries they so love.

The design and decor of Villa Kerasy Hotel Spa take many elements from its environment and location as a hotel in a port town in rural France. These are blended with the intense admiration the owners have for Asia, represented by the curiosities and items from their collections. The guestrooms make use of contemporary fixtures and themes, complemented by period furniture reminiscent of the Age of Sail, and various treasures picked up by Jean-Jacques and Serge during their travels. Rooms have underlying motifs, inspired by the three European nations that ventured to India in pursuit of trade and glory - the British, the French, and the Dutch.

Other sections of the hotel are also dressed in Asian-centric touches. The spa has a Thai resort ambiance while offering Ayurvedic treatments and massages. The courtyard has a landscaped garden inspired by Japanese parks, particularly those in Kyoto, such as Kyotogyoen.
