Apple Tree Hill
Luxury Gites, Normandy
ABOUT
Nestling in rolling countryside, yet not too far from local amenities in the historic medieval town of Villedieu les Poeles, this is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the tranquility and peace of a delightful part of Normandy.
The three bedroom gite and rooms look out onto pretty gardens with views of our own orchard and the hills beyond. An additonal king size ensuite bedroom can be booked in conjunction with the gite, ideal for larger groups or multi generational families. The building dates back to medieval times, believed to be used as a stopover for pilgrims en route to Le Mont Saint Michel.
A medieval barn with original stone fireplace is the perfect place to gather and enjoy the cooler evenings, playing games, cooking on the open fire and socialising in this special place.
The night skies are spectacular with no light pollution to spoil your view of the milky way, visible on a clear night.
Your hosts, Jeanette and Brian provide a warm welcome. Their aim is to ensure your stay is a relaxing and memorable holiday.
