Ty Mad is a charming hotel in Douarnenez – a renowned Breton sea port – that dates back to the twenties when celebrities such as Picasso, Breton and, especially, Max Jacob were frequent visitors. It features 17 bedrooms – 11 of which facing the sea over the beach of Saint-Jean.

This is an eclectic and artistic hotel (painters and sculptors exhibit here) with a quaint mixture of furniture that includes items that are handmade, contemporary and even Chinese. Ideal for organized thematic groups on subjects such as painting, photography or nautical sports. It’s a quiet place where, as Jacob used to say “one wakes up with the singing of birds”. The dining room is simply delightful and apart from serving splendid “gourmand" breakfasts by a sunny bay window, dinners are prepared every day with fish freshly bought at the harbour – except Sundays when it’s “curry day”.

The owners, Arnaud and Armelle Raillard, have converted this old presbytery into something really special. Besides sailing and other seaside sports, tennis and horse riding can be practiced within the vicinity. We are at the fringe of Douarnenez, therefore we can always explore this fishing village of 20,000 inhabitants that boasts sardine and herring canneries – something slightly unusual. There are a several small restaurants serving the best seafood in France.

Ty Mad is a marvellous place to stay - a beachfront hotel with a singular contemporary charm within a fantastic environment.

Ty Mad Reviews

thumbs up for Ty Mad

what a gem this is... Due to our passion for sailing little boats nationally and internationally we have visited many beautiful places indeed. But what a delight to come across Douarnenez, it's beautiful surroundings, fabulous seafood and..Ty Mad!

The photos and description on this site are absolutely accurate and once there in person, we were welcomed by incredibly charming hosts. Ty Mad is a family run patinated Boutique Hotel, with it's signature being -apart from the top location- the imagination and tasteful creativity used throughout.

The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating and such a pleasure to have met. The meals were all prepared fresh and were delicious. I am writing this review with ease and joy and am happy to recommend Ty Mad to everybody who is looking for a treat! Thumbs up Ty Mad!

- not recommended to travelers who look for the "beige" uniformity in a hotel.
