In southern Normandy but with an ambience much closer to Provence, Aveny – near the village of Aveny - is a rambling 18th century stone farmhouse just over an hour from Paris that has been decorated for effortlessly stylish entertaining both indoors and out. Relaxing in the fall and winter with deep sofas and a wood stove, Aveny is glorious in the spring and summer with its flower-filled grounds. An ideal spot for a group getaway – each of the five rustic bedrooms is charming and 11 can fit comfortably at the farm tables for meals – and a perfect setting for sampling all of Normandy's regional specialties. No need to fear over-indulging - Aveny’s setting couldn’t be better for picturesque biking, hiking, or running (for the less energetic, there's a professional foosball table in-house, as well as a ping-pong table).

Stayed here after our son’s wedding. Perfect home and location to relax and enjoy. The area is absolutely beautiful and seeing Monet’s garden is a must.

Perfect location
We had a lovely stay and the house was in a perfect location for visiting other areas of Normandy. The house is charming and quaint, Our biggest problem was that it was so hard to find! The description says “Dampsmesnil “ and that is where we drove to, however the house is actually in Aveny! Arthur was a delight to work with,
L’emplacement du cottage est idéal et la maison conforme à la description. Excellente communication avec les propriétaires qui sont très réactifs et à l’écoute! Encore merci pour ce séjour à la hauteur de nos attentes!
Superbe maison pour passer un week-end entre ami(e)s ! De la place pour tout le monde, un très beau foyer pour profiter de la cheminée ainsi qu'un beau petit jardin pour prendre le petit déjeuner au soleil. L'arrivée et le départ à la maison étaient super simples, Sophie est très sympathique et disponible si besoin. A refaire !
Maison très agréable, propre et fonctionnelle. Procédure d'arrivée simple et facilité de communication avec les hôtes.
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour en famille !
Tout s'est bien passé durant notre séjour dans la très jolie maison de Didier. Très bonne communication avec lui et son entourage et tout était prêt pour que nous passions un très bon week-end en famille. Le cadre est tout aussi plaisant pour de belles balades. Je recommande à 100%

Maison au top :)
Maison au top, très bonne communication avec Didier ! Nous avons passé un excellent week-end, il y'a pleins d'activités à faire autour ! Merci :)
Le cadre très charmant du cottage et son jardin ont rendu ce week-end passé entre amis mémorable.
On se serait cru dans un conte d’enfant de part l’aspect idyllique et champêtre de cette maison traditionnelle dans la région.
La maison bien équipée bénéficie d’une grande cuisine/salle à mangé, idéale pour les grandes tablées. La cheminée et les poêles permettent de profiter en intérieur si la météo n’est pas clémente.
Je recommande à 100%
Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans cette magnifique maison, située dans un cadre superbe et possédant tout le confort nécessaire. La communication avec l'agence était optimale, la procédure d'arrivée était très simple et l'accueil chaleureux. Nous ne manquerons pas de revenir pour continuer à découvrir la région!
Un week-end exceptionnel sur tous les points : charme de la maison, beauté du coin, simplicité et convivialité dans l'accueil... Merci !

Le cottage est un endroit parfait pour se ressourcer entre amis, très proche de Paris et hyper cosy. On se sent bien au coin de la cheminée et dans la très belle cuisine ! Nous avons eu envie d'y retourner aux beaux jours pour profiter du jardin !

Excellent séjour dans cette charmante maison : propre, spacieuse, chaleureuse et bien équipée
Excellent séjour dans cette charmante maison : propre, spacieuse, chaleureuse et bien équipée. Tout y est pour passer un bon moment à la campagne.
La maison est très belle et authentique, bien équipée et en bonne état général, fidèle aux photos de l'annonce. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les moments de convivialité près de la grande cheminée et le fait que la cuisine soit ouverte sur la salle à manger. Parfait pour un séjour en famille et entre amis.
Le seul bémol est la petite taille du jardin, peut-être un peu limitée pour les enfants.
Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.
La maison est charmante et parfaitement équipée.
La campagne alentour est superbe et le hameau réserve une belle surprise avec le chateau D’Aveny.
Très belle adresse’
