Beautiful Character Gite in Reffuveille, Near Avranches, Manche, Normandy Reviews

Slice of Heaven

A little slice of heaven in rural France. The Gite is small but perfectly formed, a mix of traditional stone and sympathetic modern restoration.

The ground floor consists of a single room with adequate kitchen, double sofa and a large wood burning stove. The kitchen is fitted with most of what you'd expect from this type of accommodation. The only thing missing is laundry services but that's not a problem if you prepare in advance. We managed a week here with only what we could carry on a motorcycle. There is a modern shower room situated under the stairs and it appears to have been recently renovated to a very high standard.

There is a TV, DVD player and DVDs, and a selection of good books to help you relax and recharge your batteries in the evening, after a day spent exploring.

The stairs which lead to the bedroom are quite steep but shouldn't be a problem if you have average mobility. The upstairs bedroom is just as charming as the downstairs room. Exposed beams and traditional furnishings ooze romance.

Located on a junction just outside a quiet village, there was occasional traffic noise but it was only once in a while and was never an issue.

This has been our second visit to the Gite and our 5th time to the area. The central location makes striking out into Normandy and Brittany convenient. The comprehensive welcome pack provides ideas and suggestions for places of interest and good places to eat.

I would highly recommend the Gite for couples of all ages. The feeling of seclusion (with WIFI!) provides the perfect balance.
