Countryside at its best!
This could not have been anymore perfect for our family gathering and visit around the Normandy area. Set back on a quiet cul-de-sac just 10 minutes from the town of Avranches, this lovingly restored Norman estate had everything we needed. Two sides to rent in one large building which accommodated all of us very well. You have the option of renting out one side or both, depending on your needs. You can relax in complete privacy, anywhere on the property which is surrounded by fields.There is a beautiful view of Avranches in the distance, as well as Mont St. Michel. Lovely quiet roads to walk around the area. Donkeys and cows are there to greet you. Plenty of room in the two sides of the estate for all of us who numbered 14 over the weekend. All amenities are there and the owners, Dominique and Isabelle are just the next house down should you need anything. Very helpful with any of our questions and they have all the brochures and tips of what to see. available in the house. We enjoyed ping pong, tossing a football, the outdoor garden for relaxed meals with plenty of seating for everyone. Well-stocked kitchen(s) with seating in both the dining and kitchen areas. Bedrooms are comfy and clean. Do bring your own linens and towels if you want to save on an additional expense. I would go back again and again. Mary and family, Ottawa, Ontario

Quiet setting with lovely views and confortable house near Avranches.
So close to a pleasant town, Avranches, which is also not far form Mt St Michel. There is ample space around the house Le Meleze, the smaller one of the two which we got assigned (four of us). We stayed for one week and had a nice week in this part of Normandie.

Un séjour au calme
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour à 8 dans cette belle bâtisse, situé dans un environnement très agréable à côté d'Avranches. Les enfants ont beaucoup joué dans le jardin avec les jeux disponibles ou dans la salle de jeux (babyfoot et ping pong). Accueil très sympathique des propriétaires et d'Anne-Marie. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

super schönes Ferienhaus
Wir (2 Familien mit 2 Kindern) hatten in diesem schönen Ferienhaus eine wundervolle Woche. Das Objekt ist sehr ländlich und ruhig gelegen was wir sehr zu schätzen wussten. Von der Autobahn ist das Ferienhaus sehr gut zu erreichen. Das Ferienhaus bietet viel Platz und besticht durch seinen rustikalen Charme, wir haben es sehr genossen, unsere Abende in dem urigen Wohn-/Esszimmer oder auch in dem schönen Garten ausklingen zulassen. Danke auch an die Gastgeberin für ihre unkomplizierte freundliche Art. Wir können einen Aufenthalt in diesem schönen Ferienhaus nur jedem empfehlen.

Charmante maison en pierre
On a passé un très bon noël en famille dans cette grosse maison en pierres avec beaucoup de charme. Les échanges avec les propriétaires sont cordiaux et l'accueil sympa. La maison a été chauffée avec la PAC quelques jours avant notre arrivée. Nous avons utilisé le poêle pour le charme du feu avec le bois mis à disposition. L'endroit est très calme et Avranche est à quelques minutes en voiture.

Stillvolles, ruhiges Herrenhaus
Das Haus liegt sehr, sehr ruhig und abseits - ideal zum Erholen. Wir hatten Glück mit dem Wetter und konnten den genialsten Sternenhimmel bewundern. Das große Wohnzimmer mit Kamin und benachbartem Wintergarten und Treppenturm ist sehr stilvoll und gemütlich. Wir waren zu viert hatten somit sehr viel Platz. Wir haben die Zeit hier sehr genossen - und neuen uns auf ein nächstes Mal.
