Domaine Du Pont - Chateau Only

History and gastronomy go hand-in-hand in Normandy, making it a great choice if culture and fine dining are what you’re looking for in a holiday! There’s still plenty on offer besides the food and tales of yesteryear, however – you can take a tour around some of the beautiful inland towns and villages or head to the coast, where you’ll find a mixture of wide sandy beaches and rugged, romantic cliffs. If you’re not already convinced to head to one of our villas in Normandy (or maybe if you’ve already booked) you’ll find a wealth of great things to do, see and eat in our ultimate Normandy travel guide!

Enjoy gourmet dining experiences with our new Chef Service!
We’re now offering our customers the chance to enjoy some unforgettable eats with our new Chef Service! Choose from booking a single sumptuous meal with a private chef for that special occasion, or hire a chef to cook your meals for all or part of your holiday - it’s as flexible as it is delicious.

A) Single Meal Service: A chef will travel to this villa and whip up a fantastic meal for you and your guests. The chef will arrive with all the necessary ingredients as well as the talent to turn them into something unforgettable. They’ll serve the meal and clear up afterwards - an easy and entertaining way to enjoy a top quality meal in your very own villa!

B) Full Chef Service: If you really want to kick back and relax, we can arrange for a chef to cater for the duration of your holiday (or part of it). With a range of options from simple family catering to full-on haute cuisine, we can organise a meal plan and a price to suit your needs. So why worry about self-catering when you can have everything taken care of?

Of course, before booking this service, we suggest you contact the property owner as they might already offer a similar cook or chef service in-house. To find out more simply visit www.oliverstravels.com/chefs.

Domaine du Pont is a lovely location for a private wedding or celebration. The entire estate can accommodate up to 28 guests in the chateau and farmhouse allowing it to be a highly intimate and romantic occasion.

There is a small chapel on site to cater for a more traditional ceremony, or a service can be held outdoors in the gardens. Additionally, external caterers and chefs can be organised to provide a delicious meal for all the guests.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for information about rates and availability.

Domaine Du Pont - Chateau Only Reviews

• Wonderful Chateau

  Posted by Derek on 08/09/2016

  Last autumn, after we had made our booking, the managers allowed us to visit the chateau so that we could understand the property and to help us work out where all our guests would go. This gave us a flavour of the special magic of this place which continued into our recent stay. All our guests, without exception, had a wonderful time, some found the beds so comfortable that they wanted to take them home! Our guests alternated between either using the pool or the other facilities at the chateau or using it as a base for visiting the surrounding area. To have the use of this wonderful chateau was great and made even more special by the care and attention of the owners, not forgetting the wonderful food they provided throughout our stay. We all want to go back.

• Domaine Du Pont

  Posted by MDeB . on 24/07/2010

  My group of twelve spent a glorious week at the Domaine Du Pont. The main house is very beautiful and the gardens are extraordinary. We also had the farmhouse, the Ferme Du Pont, a charming thatch-roofed cottage down a path through an orchard. The staff was friendly and attentive and the chef prepared wonderful breakfasts and dinners each day. Easy excursions included the invasion beaches and the American cemetery at Colleville sur Mer, the resort town of Honfleur, Monet's house and garden at Giverny, Rouen, Bayeux, and Mont-Saint-Michel, which was the longest drive, but still less than two hours away. An unforgettable week in Normandy.

• Chateau du Pont is even nicer in reality

  Chateau du Pont is even nicer in reality. We had a fantastic week there. Graham and Mandy looked after us superbly well. The chef cooked us amazing meals each evening and it was terrific not to have to clear up. He even did the shopping!! We visited Honfleur and Deauville both stunning Normandy towns. It was a bonus having the large swimming pool and we all agreed we would be happy to live In the pool house. We will definitely be back.

• Everything we could have wanted

  Posted by Bill R on 23/07/2010

  We are recovering from our trip to France. Your chateau was beautiful and everything we could have wanted for our vacation. Graham and Mandy were exceptional hosts including a tour of the battlefields and hosting two dinners supplied by the talented chef.
