About This Villa

A magnificent 17th century  château set in stunning landscaped gardens, this is the perfect base to explore the Bayeux Tapestry, Monet's Garden, and the landing beaches. It is only a 14km drive from Honfleur and 30km from Deauville.

The main château at Domaine Du Pont can sleep 16 to 18 guests across nine beautiful bedrooms. The ground floor entertaining spaces are superb with antique chandeliers and other original features whilst three of the rooms open up to the gardens, especially wonderful in the summer months. In the old stable block there is a heated swimming pool and pool house whilst outside you will also find the formal and Italian garden as well as the grand fountain which can be switched on in summer months.

The estate also features a charming Farmhouse which has its own driveway and pretty valley views, connected to the château's grounds via a gate and surrounded by orchards (for cider and calvados) and grazing land. It has space for a further 10 guests across its five pretty bedrooms and four bath or shower rooms. You will also find an inviting living room as well as a characterful kitchen and dining room in this traditional and inviting abode.

The outside of the Domaine du Pont estate has been untouched since it was originally built in the 16th century and enlarged in around 1720. It has had a fascinating history, from being used as a safe house for aristocrats being smuggled out of France during the revolution, to being used by the Resistance during the Second World War. Since the war the château has had a much more refined and tranquil existence, but has also played host to guests such as the Aga Khan and the Dalai Lama.
