The Perfect Time to Visit

Our retreats are held in spring and autumn - both awesome times to visit Cinq & Sept. In spring, the countryside is carpeted with flowers and in autumn, the vines and tress all turn vibrant shades of gold, orange and red. The region is less crowded and the weather is mostly sunny - the perfect time to explore castles or take a walk along the beach. Enjoy a glass of wine while soaking in our jacuzzi, or chat with friends in our new Cocktail Lounge with its roaring fire.
