Overview
Tucked away in the Norman countryside, Maison De Charme is an exquisite example of the traditional rural homestead known as the Normandy chaumière. These homes typically feature thatched roofs made of wheat or rye and are reminiscent of the thatched cottages found throughout southern England.
Despite this home’s traditional charm, it does not shirk on spaciousness or modern comforts. Guests are welcomed by an expansive living/dining area adorned with tasteful furnishings and flush with natural light streaming in through large windows. Made cosy by wooden-beamed ceilings and an open-heart fireplace, this warm hub of the house has a lovely communal feeling.
The adjoining open-plan kitchen comes complete with a range of modern appliances and ample counterspace to ensure culinary enthusiasts have everything at their disposal. Whether you’re making crepes for breakfast, tossing together a summer salad or preparing a holiday feast for family and friends, this kitchen has you covered.
Maison De Charme has five bedrooms. The first two can be found on the ground floor with double beds and easy access to showers and a separate WC. Ascending to the upper level, there are three more well-appointed bedrooms, two featuring queen-sized beds and sloping ceilings, while the last has two single beds. The upper floor is also home to a bathroom and WC.
Outside, the villa is encircled by a vast manicured garden which is best enjoyed at one of the two charming al fresco dining settings. This serene garden is perfect for soaking up the sun on a lounger or reading underneath the canopy of a tree.
Maison De Charme, located in the region of Normandy, offers a perfect blend of historical charm, scenic landscapes, and culinary delights. Guests can visit the historic D-Day landing beaches and enjoy the picturesque countryside. With its rich cultural heritage, diverse activities, and delectable local cuisine, Normandy provides a unique and memorable experience for all.

Location
About the surrounding area of Maison De CharmeSituated in a secluded hamlet, there aren't many locations more tranquil than Maison De Charme. Yet, the nearby town of Saint-Georges-du-Vièvre is only an 8-minute drive away, along with its supermarket, cafes, restaurants and shops.
The region is abundant with idyllic villages, stunning scenery and exciting locales. Le Bec-Hellouin is one of the prettiest villages in all of Normandy. And for those seeking natural wonders, look no further than Parc naturel régional des Boucles de la Seine Normande. This meandering landscape follows 112 miles of the River Seine between Rouen and its delta in the English Channel. The beauty of this place will not disappoint, as it didn’t for the many painters who have flocked to its riverbanks over the years, including Turner, Boudin, Sisley and Signac. Easily explore on foot, bike or horseback, there are many routes, including the Fruit Trail which winds through groves and orchards.
For those interested in a more cultural and cosmopolitan day of exploring, the beautiful city of Rouen is not far away. Known for its stunning cathedral, the Gothic façade of which was made the subject of an extraordinary series of exploratory paintings by Claude Monet, Rouen is a thriving city with an interesting history.
Similarly, and equidistant, the port city of Le Havre on the Seine estuary is another great city to explore. Don’t forget to check out the André Malraux Modern Art Museum, which houses one of France’s most extensive collections of impressionist paintings.
Amongst all this rural beauty and Norman culture, you’re sure to be tempted by a refreshing dip in the sea. Make sure to check out Deauville Beach, which makes a great day trip.

Region
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!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesFor the kids with a taste for castles and medieval history, look no further than Chateau d'Harcourt, a 12th century castle which offers activities for kids and children including an Escape Room and treasure hunt. Attached to the castle and included in the cost of entry is the arboretum, a beautiful parkland brimming with approximately 500 different species of trees and bushes and one of the oldest such parks in France.
Parc Zoologique Cerza is a 60-hectare zoo that is home to over 1,000 animals from 120 different species. With safari tours and various other interactive activities, the zoo is a great day out that the whole family will enjoy.
A day trip to the beach is certainly within reach. Try Deauville beach (50-minute drive) where, in addition to sun, sand and surf, the kids can revel at Parc Lilo Z'enfants, a beachfront amusement park.

Perfect stay in Normandy
We booked this accommodation for a stay with friends to celebrate a birthday. A very accommodating host who did everything to make us feel at home as soon as we walked through the door. The house is lovely, in the heart of the Normandy countryside and less than an hour from the seaside. A big plus for the living room, where everyone can get together around a roaring fire. We had an excellent stay! Thank you so much!

Relaxing
A very beautiful house (clean, well designed, comfortable) in a magnificent garden, ideal for children! We spent a quiet, restful and rejuvenating Easter weekend! Many thanks for the warm welcome and for the thoughtful little touches (like little chocolate eggs on each pillow, a special Easter decoration)..!

Parfaite pour familles et groupes d'amis
Nous étions deux familles à nous rejoindre le temps de quelques jours. La maison a répondu à nos attentes. Elle est grande, propre et parfaite pour un séjour en groupe. Les pièces sont spacieuses et agréables. Nous sommes venus en hiver, et n’avons pas pu profiter du jardin, mais il est très grand et parfait pour les beaux jours ! Merci pour votre accueil.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
