Gourmet Delights

The dining experience at Saffire is truly unparalleled. Every meal was a delight, with options ranging from a normal menu to a gourmet tasting set that was delicious and accommodating to my dietary restrictions. The focus on fresh, local produce made each dish nice, and I particularly loved the substantial breakfast buffet that offered not just pastries but also hot specialties made to order.

Unique Experiences

One of the highlights of our stay was the culinary and educational journey we experienced at the oyster farm. The chance to enjoy freshly shucked oysters paired with local champagne while wading in the water was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This unique activity was exciting and enhanced the overall adventure of our stay at Saffire.
