Castel Saint-Leonard

An excellent stay. Why would you go anywhere else within a 20 mile radius of Falaise? A beautiful house, tastefully and lovingly furnished. The owner and host, Charles, was very welcoming and informative. We wished we could have stayed longer, but we were on our bicycles and had to get on. Maybe next time.

A lovely boutique hotel keeping rooms with their original eighteenth century features. Whilst discretely introducing modern plumbing.

The luxury suite is like admiring the royal bedrooms at chateau musee's and then trying out the bed. The bed on top of that may be the most comfortable bed in France. The suite is perfect for a romantic visit to Falaise.

It was a magnificent property. Centrally located in Falaise, but also very quiet. The owner, Charles, was extremely welcoming and it was like being a guest in his private home. His private home, however, was like something out of a fairy tale. A unique experience.

Very spacious room with a unique stylized decor that makes one feel transported to a different era. Delicious dishes and pleasant breakfast room. Charles is an outstanding host who goes above and beyond for his guests - we needed to check in early and leave our luggage to tour the city and visit the Falaise castle and he gladly accommodated us. I the morning we had an early train and he prepared a full early breakfast before the scheduled time.

Charles bought this house to accommodate his huge collection of antiques and every room is decorated so as to show them off in the best light. The result is not like being in a museum though, rather being privileged to experience a gracious lifestyle now sadly disappeared. He is a delightful host, nothing is too much trouble. The Suite de la Rotonde is a magnificent room with splendid furnishings and views to the castle. The house is situated in a quiet street a couple of minutes from the centre of town and the parking is in a private courtyard at the front. Charles booked 2 restaurants for us, Le Jardin - a simple small establishment with good food and Ô Saveurs - a gourmet experience and the best meal we had during this trip to Normandy. If you are in the area of Falaise (which is well worth a visit) I recommend saying at Castel Saint-Léonard.

This place was absolutely outstanding! As you enter this palace, the owner, Michael, makes you feel like Royalty. The structure of the building was actually part of the medieval walls built in the middle ages. The decor is like being in a museum. And the breakfast is as authentic as you will get in France. We were very spoilt! William the Conqueror's castle, is a short walk up the street and definitely worth a visit.

A fantastic authentic experience, I felt like I had been taken to another time (with modern luxuries!) Michael was the perfect host who showed us round his lovingly restored Castel. Welcomed from the start the place oozes of 18th century elegance. The overnight stay did not disappoint. Well worth a visit. In the town a fantastic restaurant and we visited the Castle which again was an excellent experience. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

The white Lotus in France… , restored Castel With personal touch grom the owner who is the perfect butler in the morning with A typical French breakbeats Great history in town, mediaval, world war …. Golf and restaurants in walking distance
