Villa Suzanne

A very pretty house which adjoins another holiday house but you have a separate entrance and your own garden. Bedrooms have a comfortable, lived-in feel. A family bathroom gleams in white marble, with a generous Italian shower. French doors open onto neat lawns, tall trees and lush greenery. Sip a glass of local cider while children explore – there’s a cabin and swing to discover.

Normandy is heaven for food lovers – find a basket of fresh bread, homemade jam, a bottle of cider and, of course, butter. Market day is a must – gather a few willing hands and some fresh produce in the simple, elegant kitchen and cook together, or ask your host for the best places to eat fresh seafood on the coast.

Down country lanes, reach long sandy beaches stretching for miles. Hire bikes and cycle through landscapes that inspired impressionist painters. Spend days together playing games in the sunny garden of this charming, old-fashioned family holiday home.
