Castelbrac, the refuge of the soul

Castelbrac was built on the side of a cliff as close as possible to the sea.

The Villa Bric à Brac, which became the Castelbrac hotel in 2015, reveals an exceptional history. Built by the English Faber family who founded Dinard, the Villa saw the succession for 130 years of an English colonel hero of the Crimean War, Robert William Hamilton, then the cream of French scientific research from the National Museum of Natural History including Commander Jean-Baptiste Charcot. Jewel of the founders of Dinard then marine resort, the Great History entered through the doors of Castelbrac.
More than a hotel, it is a place of memory and renewal.
