Port Nomade House

Port-en-Bessin, Normandy, France
Burnished with the Patina of History

An ode to simplicity that exudes warmth and authenticity, this vacation home rental in Normandy stays faithful to the original feel and tone of the history of the house and harbor town while giving it a charmingly subtle update. We love the natural, vintage feel and the sounds of the sea and village life just outside your window. 

Located just steps from the sea in the heart of the charming fishing port of Port-en-Bessin it's is an ideal hideaway from which to explore the coastal areas. 

Beautifully preserved, the rustic old stone facade gives way to a fresh bright makeover that retains all of the classic charms and features of the historic home. Fully renovated and decorated with care and detail, the original rough-hewn stone, wood, and raw materials create the perfect backdrop for the casual mix of antique furniture, designer objects and accessories, and a vintage theme burnished with the patina of history.

Arranged on three floors, the ground floor houses the cozy living areas with a fireside lounge, a fully equipped kitchen and a dining space for four. 

The second floor is a lofty open double room with a steep ladder stair to the third-floor mezzanine bedroom that sleeps two. Tucked at the very apex of the house it’s a snug little roost with skylights and views over the rooftops and out to sea.

There is a sweet little shared courtyard with a small garden table for morning coffee or an evening aperitif.

THE PORTS OF NORMANDY

Port-en-Bessin has plenty to offer guests in the village and beyond. Walks along the sand, journeys by boat, buying produce from local fishermen or at auction, hiking trails, bike rentals… There’s also a 36-hole golf course and a shipwreck museum nearby. Activities within easy reach include farm visits, swimming (in a local pool), horse-riding, tennis and tree climbing, as well as trawling through flea markets and antique shops. The Sunday market is the place for all of the freshest local items.

Slightly farther afield are windswept, sandy beaches, the D-Day beaches and American cemetery at Omaha Beach and the British cemetery at Bayeux, as well as Bayeux Cathedral and Tapestry, and numerous chateaux and farms. For those happy to drive over an hour there are plenty of other interesting destinations including the beautiful Mont St Michel.
