A Charming Nautical Pied-a-Terre
This cozy vacation home rental in Normandy immerses you into the charming harbor life of Port-en-Bessin with the sounds of the sea and village life just outside your window. We like the subtle nautical theme, pale hues and the simple but stylish decor.
Located in the center of the small fishing port of Port-en-Bessin, a few steps from the sea, this vacation home for rent in Normandy is a charming pied-a-terre in the heart of the village and harbor life. Occupying the top two floors of an old stone house, the first floor includes a fully-equipped country kitchen and dining room overlooking the harbor.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms perched in the eaves, a dressing room and cozy sitting room.
Awash in pale blues, grays and whites that imitate the colors of the sea, the house has been restored with a light approach and a warm, welcoming touch. With room for up to four guests, it's an ideal apartment for a family or friends to share.
