À la carte

Tailor-made experiences

To make every stay unique, the estate can arrange a range of private services at the house, to be booked ahead of or during your stay, subject to availability. Prices on request.

Private chef

Enjoy a meal prepared on site by a private chef, from a gourmet breakfast to a grand dinner. This is what sets a catered villa rental apart from a simply well-equipped house: the kitchen is still yours to use, but nobody has to cook.

Massages at the estate

Full-body massages, facials or relaxation treatments: a therapist comes directly to the estate for a tailor-made moment of wellbeing, to be booked ahead of your stay, subject to the therapists' availability.

Wine or Normandy produce tastings

Wines, ciders, calvados and cheeses from the Pays d’Auge: arrange a guided tasting at the heart of the estate, led by a local producer or a specialist.

Groceries & breakfast

Groceries chosen with you and ready for your arrival, and breakfast, which can be delivered on the first morning only, or every morning if you prefer.

Other bespoke services

Childcare, a driver or car hire, activities in Normandy, restaurants: the team shares its trusted local contacts, and you book with them directly.

FAQ

Catered villa rental: what you need to know

Whatever suits you: a single dinner, every evening, or all your meals. The chef can be booked before your stay, or during it, subject to availability. Prices are available on request.

Of course. The kitchen is fully equipped and the dining room seats all fourteen guests around one table. The services are there for the days when you don’t feel like it, not to replace home life.

Her daily visit is an optional service, to be added at the time of booking. She then comes each morning to tidy the bedrooms and communal areas, and leaves the house to your group.

A few days are enough for a massage or an arrival grocery order. Allow more time for a chef on a weekend evening or a tasting led by a producer, as these depend on other people’s diaries.

Enough to spare you a trip to the shops when you arrive: breakfast, essentials and a selection of Normandy produce. The list is drawn up with you before your stay, according to the number of guests and children.

Bedding and household linen, tableware, the entertainment areas and wifi are included in every stay. The daily housekeeper, the chef, massages and tastings are added on request and quoted separately.
