Retrofitted to create a cozy little nest for two, this unique vacation home rental in Normandy is a chic and petite loft space with the charming harbor life of Port en Bessin and the sounds of the sea just outside your window. We like the elevated, all-in-one space with its original old timbers and the subtle vintage-nautical theme.
Description
This vacation home for rent in Normandy located in the heart of the charming fishing port of Port-en-Bessin is just steps from the sea, and is an ideal little hideaway from which to explore the coastal areas.
Occupying the top floor in the eaves of an old stone house, this all in one loft is an airy and cheerful space that holds onto its interesting historic features but with a chic and simple update.
With the sleeping space at one end and the well equipped kitchen at the other, the apartment is designed to utilize the space to maximum effect.
The palette of white, pale gray and taupe with striking black tile and accents and a simple selection of vintage items and decor lend it a timeless and welcoming vibe.

We have just finished touring Europe and have to say that our stay in Astrid’s charming apartment was our very favorite! Do not be fooled by its very reasonable price, this place is an absolute gem. It is located in the most beautiful fishing village with a little market around the corner to stock your kitchen or just pick up fresh pastries for breakfast. The space is perfect for two with plenty of space and all the necessities. The bathroom is fully equipped with plenty of hot water and great shower pressure, oversized towels, and a good blow dryer. The bed is extremely comfortable with good sheets and bedding tucked under the skylights which do have good shades if you prefer the dark. The place was very clean but not sterile like some rentals that have no personality. It is fully stocked with books and magazines about the area and is decorated to make you feel you have your own home in Normandy. Astrid was so easy to communicate with and answered all our questions. Without a doubt, we will return and stay with Astrid again.
