Château des Tourelles

Québec City


You'll recognize this B&B by its soaring turret, which mirrors the steeple of the Church of St-Jean-Baptiste to the east. The affable Breton owner has completely refurbished this old house, equipping the 11 rooms with wood floors, triple-paned windows, hi-def TV and new bath; other perks include the bright-orange-hued breakfast area and lounge, and rooftop terrace with great views.

The seven standard rooms in the main building are complemented by a pair of comfortable suites, one with its own private terrace and Jacuzzi, a kitchenette-equipped studio and a family room sleeping four. Room 10 has its own terrace.
