About This Villa

In the heart of Barfleur, just a short walk from its historic port and the open sea, La Maison des Lys combines the comfort of a well-loved home with the pleasure of a Normandy escape. Light filters softly through the rooms, creating spaces that feel calm, welcoming and perfectly suited to time spent together.

Step through the entrance into the inviting ground floor. A cosy living room with fireplace encourages slow evenings after days exploring, while the dining room opens directly onto the walled garden, ideal for family meals outdoors. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped for cooking chez vous, complete with a La Cornue range and other useful appliances. A double en suite bedroom on this level also opens to the pretty garden. Outside, admire agapanthes, climbing wisteria, hydrangeas and an olive tree, with espalier fruit trees, herbs and summer roses adding scent and colour. A granite bench catches the evening sun, making it a favourite spot at day’s end.

The upper floors provide charming accommodation across five bedrooms. The first floor includes two restful rooms and a modern shower room, while the top level features a twin and a single bedroom, served by a small bathroom. From one of the bedrooms, gentle sea views remind you how close the shoreline lies.

La Maison des Lys sits at the heart of Barfleur, one of Normandy’s prettiest fishing villages, celebrated for its unique light and enduring maritime atmosphere. Wander along the quayside past granite houses and narrow lanes, pause for coffee or moules frites at a local café, and continue on foot to the beach with views towards the lighthouse.

Beyond Barfleur, the Cotentin peninsula opens up with wild beaches, sailing and coastal walks. Saint Vaast la Hougue and Île Tatihou lie close by, while Cherbourg, La Hague and the historic D Day beaches are all within easy reach, offering a rich and varied backdrop to your stay.
