Castel Saint-Léonard

We had a warm welcome from Charles who showed us around the beautiful building and told us about the history, he was also very helpful with recommendations for restaurants and local attractions. We stayed for two night in the Suite de La Rotonde which was amazing. Our suite was so comfortable, tastefully decorated and with a modern bathroom. There is secure off street parking if you have a car. Breakfast each morning was fabulous, served by Charles in the dining room which set us up for the day. Falaise has a lot of history to discover including William the Conquerers Castle but it is also close to Bayeux and the Normandy Coast which I would recommend visiting. I would definitely recommend staying here, we really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect! Excellent location. Falaise is a great place to stay while visiting the D-Day beaches (you don’t have to content with the crowds there). In addition, William The Conqueror’s castle is a 3 minute walk from the hotel. Castel Saint-Leonard is the place to stay. Charles was accommodating, helpful with restaurant recommendations and a perfect host. Our room, the Suite de la Rotonde was amazing, adorable, comfortable all at the same time! Our room was extremely quiet and the view from the room were wonderful. Parking is a breeze and right there.

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.

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

Have you ever heard of Falaise, France. If not, check it out. It is a wonderful little town in Normandy with the best B&B...if you can call Castel Saint-Leonard a B&B. It is a lovely grand home with a charming and kind host, Charles, who took the time to tell us about the history of the Castel and the town and showed us around the property. The views are sensational. The decor shows Charles' love of French antiques....and breakfast was devine. Everything here was five star!
