Great place! One of the best around
Very nice space, open, and clean and new. I highly recommend a stay here if looking for a spot in Normandy. Lots of parking, large beds, lots of bathrooms, a nice TV, and on a darling farm. Loved every bit of it!

Loved it!
We had a lovely time at this property! It was beautifully furnished and maintained. We stay in a fair number of rental properties, and they often feel like rentals. Au Coeur de la Normandie didn't feel like a rental at all; it really felt like someone's home. We had everything we needed. The host was also incredibly responsive. We had one minor maintenance issue on our trip (breaker tripped), and he was there to fix it within minutes!

Lovely Country Home
This is a lovely country home conveniently located near all the sights in Normandy. The owner, Maximilien, was incredibly helpful in recommending nearby restaurants in Caen. Don’t miss Magma— one of the best meals we had in France. The home is also a short ride from the D-Day beaches and cemeteries—a must see. Thank you, Maximilien, for everything, including the welcoming food basket and wine! Best always, Wayne

Empfehlenswert
Das Ferienhaus ist sehr gepflegt und liegt in einer sehr ruhigen Gegend. Normandie. Die Kommunikation mit dem sehr freundlichen Gastgeber ist vorbildlich. Vom Haus aus sind viele Ausflugsziele der Normandie gut zu erreichen. Insgesamt absolut zu empfehlen.
