Two peaceful holiday gîtes near Carentan, Normandy
Our home in Normandy.

Enjoy the charm of Normandy, a region steeped in history and surrounded by natural beauty. We are located in Graignes, a picturesque village next to Carentan. Here, we have diligently created a place where you can relax and enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside.

Our estate currently offers two unique gites, each reflecting the rustic charm and warmth of the region. Both gîtes are lovingly styled with natural materials, soft tones and thoughtful details.

Our retreat is more than just accommodation, it is an experience. A place where families reconnect, friends create new stories and travellers find space to simply be themselves.

We loved our stay and the place was charming, peaceful and beautiful! Peter and his family were delightful to talk to and very helpful. He recommended a restaurant in town that was our favorite in our two week stay in France.
