About This Villa

Surrounded by the rural landscapes of Normandy yet within easy reach of Bayeux, Caen and the D-Day Landing beaches, soak up the slow pace of life whilst staying in this stylishly restored French château with its gorgeous historic features and landscaped grounds.

There’s such an aura of charm across Château de la Sérénité which dates back to the early 1700s. The elegant château has been so well-preserved over the many years, yet its current owners have added their own sense of sophistication whilst respecting its rich heritage.

You’ll be inspired by its light-filled interiors as you stroll through every room admiring original features such as parquet flooring, 18th century wood panelling and large windows. The beautiful and spacious living room features a Louis XV fireplace whilst there are other spots to seek serenity across smaller lounges and the office/library. The dining room is classic in its design whilst the wonderful French kitchen is such an atmospheric place to create feasts by the open fire.  

Up to 12 guests will sleep comfortably across six pretty bedrooms scattered across the two upper floors. Four of the doubles have en suite bathrooms – we especially love the bathtub with a view over the Normandy landscapes. Gentle yet stylish décor adds to the tranquillity and relaxed ambience across this unique and welcoming abode.

Experience yet more calmness as you sit back in the landscaped gardens with over 13 acres of lawns, ancient trees and roses. In the springtime the blossom is so delightful, then when summer comes you can enjoy picking plums, apples and cherries. The autumn colours are also magnificent, making this château a scenic place to stay at any time of year.

Make the most of this fantastic setting in Normandy with Bayeux, Caen and the D-Day landing beaches of Arromanches-les-Bains and Omaha all around half an hour away. Even Mont Saint-Michel can be visited for a superb day out, as can the utterly charming Belle Époque seaside towns of Trouville and Deauville.

You may simply prefer to explore the Normandy countryside, sampling Calvados in nearby orchards, cycling along the Caen canal or horse-riding in glorious surroundings. Head towards the stunning Cotentin peninsula, kayak along the River Orne in Clécy or potter around idyllic market villages and towns savouring the many delectable delights of Normandy.
