Book La Villette hotels

Winter holiday to see the WWII sites and local historical sites. Jean-Claude took care of us really well and his Gite is quite nice.

Procédure d'arrivée tardive excellente. Propreté parfaite

Staff was polite and professional

Had extended family (12 of us) all staying in one place including a toddler, young kids, tweens and 6 adults! The place was perfect for what we needed. The pool was a big win, excellent amenities in terms of crockery, glasses, cutlery kitchen equipment etc. Garden was lovely and we had almost no complaints. The only comment we have is that the property is very tired and must be very difficult for Marianne to keep clean by herself. This is not a major complaint from us as there were several children and lots of us so would have felt very uncomfortable trying to keep an immaculate house clean!!! This is not an immaculate house. Some of the sockets are loose and there are fixtures/fittings in need of repair. One of the chairs collapsed when we sat on it(!) But again this is not a complaint, it is probably a plus for such a large family in one place. We left it cleaner than we found it :) Marianne was lovely and showed us the old photos of the place and the work that was done (and is still to do!). I loved looking at the derelict parts and considering whether I could find £250,000 to buy it!! All in all an excellent stay and I would book again. But just a word of warning for others - it is rustic, French countryside shabby chic...sans le chic. Extra thanks to Marianne who was next door on hand whenever we needed but not too much that we felt uncomfortable. Merci Beaucoup! A bientot!

The property is located about a 25 minute walk away from Caen city centre. The surrounding area is very quiet and safe with lots of delicious patisseries very close by ( highly recommend trying). The room has everything you need, is very comfortable, clean and air-conditioned. The hotel has an area for workouts, with 3 pieces of aerobic equipment. This room is not like a normal gym, it is carpeted with chairs and tables in ( presumably for those waiting to use the spa?) with no ac ( that I found). But can easily do a workout in there. The hotel has private parking. The hotel offers a buffet breakfast, which has everything youd expect from a continental breakfast. The staff are all lovely and very welcoming. Highly recommend.
