Casa Normandie
PORT-EN-BESSIN, NORMANDY, FRANCE
2 BR | 1 BA | SLEEPS 3
An ode to simplicity that exudes warmth and authenticity, this home stays faithful to the original feel and tone of the history of both the house and harbor town while giving it a charmingly subtle update. We love the natural, vintage feel and the sounds of the sea and village life just outside the window.
Located just steps from the sea in the heart of the charming fishing port of Port-en-Bessin, it is an ideal hideaway from which to explore the coastal areas.
Beautifully preserved, the rustic old stone facade gives way to a fresh bright makeover that retains all of the classic charms and features of the historic home. Fully renovated and decorated with care and detail, the original rough-hewn stone, wood, and raw materials create the perfect backdrop for the casual mix of antique furniture, designer objects and accessories, and a vintage theme burnished with the patina of history.
