Tournemire

The same family from Anjony has inhabited the castle ever since it was first built.

Nestled at the foot of the picturesque village of Tournemire, La Borie d’Hélipse welcomes you with a blend of authentic charm and contemporary refinement. More than just a boutique hotel, this establishment aspires to be a true family home, where every detail tells a story—the story of Michael and Christelle Boyer and their deep connection to this land. Proudly bearing the name of Christelle's great-grandmother, Hélipse, this hotel embodies a family legacy and pays homage to the local heritage.

Here, each of the 12 rooms is an elegant reminder of family holiday memories. Every space has been designed as a part of a grand family home, with unique materials, fabrics, colors, and textures.
