Villa Des Roses - Sept Chambres Villa, Couchages 15

Unforgettable dinners, long walks along the river and fireside evening await at this charming property, all just a short drive away from the beguiles of Paris. The house boasts seven bedrooms and six bathrooms, offering plenty of space for groups of up to fourteen guests.

Blending 19th century charm with modern Californian styles, the finish and décor of this sublime property will have you redesigning your house back home! The main house was built in 1883, with all the charm and character shining through the modern renovations. On the first floor there is an intimate living room with a wood stove fireplace and an antique piano. Adjacent you will find the contemporary fully equipped kitchen, with an open plan dining area. This spectacular entertaining space is perfect for spending time together, celebrating special occasions and soaking up the fabulous atmosphere of Villa des Roses.

Stepping up to the top floors of the house, there are four bedrooms. The first floor offers two en-suite double bedrooms, with two further bedrooms and a shared bathroom on the second floor. The three remaining bedrooms are within two standalone 19th century farm buildings. Each of these cosy room has an en-suite bathroom, with a private entrance, so guests can enjoy a little peace and privacy away from the rest of the group.

A special feature of this charming house is the glass house 'verrière' with a cosy wood burning stove, that offers an extra living space with a large communal table that seats sixteen guests. You can also use the space as a yoga or arts room.

Surrounded by a beautiful, vast garden, the outdoor space is equally as enchanting as the interiors.

Location:

The enchanting Villa des Roses sits tucked away in a centennial tree-lined garden along the river Seine. With beautifully designed interiors, a heated saltwater pool and stunning gardens, it is hard to imagine straying from the comforts of the house. Yet the moment you start walking along the river and strolling into the historical towns, you will see how much there is to see and do in this breath-taking area.

Finding inspiration in nature is easy in this vibrant part of France. Impressionist painters have taken insight from the lovely fields, woods and river side bluffs since the turn of the 19th century. Artists such as Monet, Albert Lebourg, Ludovic Pissaro and Louis Aston Night have all painted nearby.

With so much to do around the house, there is plenty to fill up the days of your trip. You will find experiences within walking distance, and all the delights of Paris less than two hours drive away. Local hiking trails will take you around the countryside of Normandy, or you can spend hours wondering the pretty pathways along the Seine. For outdoor adventures, bike rides and rock-climbing routes are aplenty, or for something a little calmer you can visit local castles and Monet gardens. Within walking distance of Villa des Roses, the beautiful river trail takes you to a 15th century water mill through beautiful fields and forests. The closest village boasts a 12th century church, with an old-fashioned café, bar and grocery shop for your everyday needs.

For foodies, France obviously offers endless culinary delights! On a special occasion, the nearby historical town of Lyons la Foret boasts a Michelin star restaurant that we can highly recommend, just a thirty-minute drive from the house. Le Moulin de Connelles or La ferme de Haute Crémonville are also both in the Michelin guide, and are within a ten-minute drive of Villa des Roses, so you can arrange plenty of evenings out, just make sure you leave time for an amble around the pretty towns and villages before your meal.

Within a short drive, you can visit the famous ocean cliffs of Etretat, the Casino of Deauville, the port of Honfleur or the D-Day Normandy beaches.
