Ermitage Mont-Saint-Michel

A seven-room stone villa a short drive from the Mont, where clawfoot tubs and wooden headboards set an unhurried, old-world tone. The owners call it the smallest five-star hotel in Europe, which is either a charming boast or a very French flex, possibly both. Balconies on most rooms face the greenery, and breakfast is the kind of spread that makes checkout feel like a punishment. Book well ahead.
