Photos and Description of the Manche vacation house rental Less than a mile away from the beach, in Dragey between Avranches and Granville

You reckon you have found a holiday home in Mont Saint Michel bay? In reality you have found a real old French style 1292 sqf large house with parquet flooring, terracotta and beamed-ceilings over 2 floors which provides you with a comfortable living standard similar to home. The 3 bedrooms have their own individual charm. Only the very best Limoges or antique porcelain, wine and champagne glasses and soup bowls are provided for you. This stone house was built in 1826 and was renovated in 1999. It offers a great standard of comfort (5 sofas, 2 stereo systems, hundreds of books, 3 garden benches etc). Furniture is for the most part restored antiques. The garden (2690 sqf), surrounded by a high stone wall, is super romantic with roses, old trees and even a large palm tree. The large undisturbed beach in Dragey is less than a mile from the house and is reachable via a small, quiet country road. From Genets (2 miles) you can reach Mont Saint-Michel (with guide) via the mud flats (4 miles).

Further details for this vacation house rental in Manche, France

Gautier holiday home, a real living experience: The unique traditional French atmosphere of the house, which is in the family for three generations, can been experienced from the outset. That is why Mrs. Monique, who gives the guests their keys and takes care of the house, says.” The holidaymakers are always happily surprised, because they have got a lot more than they ever expected”. What she means of course is that the genuine atmosphere of the house goes above and beyond the mere description and photos. The house has a soul, which one only discovers upon entry. The guests are also pleasantly surprised during their stay when they see all of the things that are provided for them, almost like for good friends. “And afterwards they always remark that they were very happy in the house” says Mrs. Monique. That’s why guests always come back to our house and Dragey, where they had such a relaxing and enjoyable time last year.

Culture and gastronomy all together!: Did you know that Mont Saint Michel is one of the most important sightseeing spots in France? Some insider advice for the summer season, drive by car to Mont Saint Michel late in the evening, so that you arrive there at 20:00 and experience the unforgettable “Son et Lumiere” (Sound and light performance) in the monastery. The later you come, the better chance you have of enjoying this performance alone. Couple your visit to Mont Saint Michel with a special gastronomic experience: Order an omelette in the “Mere Poulard” restaurant (world famous) down in the old town. A better tasting omelette does not exist! Another cultural destination of choice is the romantic abbey of La Lucerne, 6 miles from the house. After leaving the abbey you can buy many homemade specialties (jams etc) for your breakfast in Dragey.

Health spa in Granville: Relax, Thalasso therapy: Spend your time in Granville between the casino and the Christian Dior house in the “Institute Previthal” while enjoying the anti-stress spa, shiatsu, Ayurvedic massage in the “Jardin de Bien-etre”. There is a gorgeous sea view from here. Restaurant with panoramic view over the ocean and the sea over the Chausey islands. Also in the Institute Previthal is an original health spa which offers mud flat walking and thalassic therapy.

Golf: There are two golf courses in the area, Granville-Breville (20 miles from the house) and Saint Malo- Le Tronchet (43 miles from the house) “Golf de Granville” Golf pavilion 50290 Bréville sur mer. Tel: +33233502306. This club was founded in 1912 and is open the whole year round, no reservation required, 27 holes links, “dry feet” with sea view, two par courses, one 5834(18 holes 71 par) and one 2186 meters (9 holes, 33 par) snack bar, gourmet restaurant, pool, tennis courts, fitness room, child care, pro shop, golf lessons, equipment rental and golf cart rental are all available. “Saint Malo Golf Club”- Domaine de Saint-Yvieux- 35540 Le Tronchet.

A charming house in Normandy

ICCLM London
Review Submitted: October 14, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
A charming house, whose stone-walled age and character sympathetically includes excellent facilities. Its rooms have a tasteful assembly of objects, pictures, books, sculptures, that speak of careful collection over years, and the result is an ambience of ease, and a feeling of being guests in a family home. Our children loved the walled garden, frequented by Red Admiral butterflies, and the ship’s bell on the kitchen wall was very useful to summon them inside! The location is good, to explore the countryside inland – villages and abbeys – and also along the coast. Be sure to make use of the owners’ recommendations of local markets and restaurants.

Charmantes Domizil in wunderbarer Landschaft

quatrecroissants Würzburg in Franken(Bayern)
Review Submitted: November 11, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
Wie in der Anzeige versprochen waren wir ( Eltern mit 2 erwachsenen Töchtern) positiv überrascht von der wirklich liebevollen und charmanten Ausstattung des Hauses. Weit entfernt von seelenloser Ferienhaus-Ausstattung fühlt man sich sofort zuhause. Es ist alles da, was man braucht und wer mit Hund reist, ist sicher begeistert vom abgeschlossenen Garten. Alles ist sauber und gepflegt und funktioniert problemlos. Die Lage mitten im relativ ruhigen Ort ist vielleicht nicht unbedingt ein Pluspunkt, aber auch nicht störend und man kann zum Frühstück frische Croissants vom Geschäft nebenan genießen.
Begeistert waren wir auch von der umgebenden Bilderbuchlandschaft der Bocage mit ihren heckenumschlossenen sattgrünen Weiden mit Kühen und Pferden und natürlich vom herrlichen Strand in Ortsnähe, von dem aus man immer den Mont St. Michel im Blick hat.
Die Lage ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge ins Cotentin, nach Caen, Bayeux oder in die Bretagne nach St. Malo. Wer allerdings Rouen oder Etretat auf der Urlaubsliste hat, muss früh am Tag losfahren oder diese Ecke auf der Hin-oder Rückfahrt "abarbeiten"
Sehr gerne denken wir auch an die nette Atmosphäre bei "Francois" im Nachbardorf zurück, der uns mit Fleisch vom offenen Holzkohlenfeuer und anderen normannischen Spezialitäten verwöhnt hat (unbedingt rechtzeitig reservieren!)
und an viele Spieleabende am gemütlichen Esstisch im Haus.
