La Villa Mirabelle

I visited first in July with my sister and elderly mother when visiting the British Normandy D-day memorial. Sandrine and Rudolph are the kindest hosts, so helpful and friendly and made our stay very easy. We stayed in the Omaha beach room which is on the top floor with a balcony and sitting area too. Beds and sofa bed are really high quality with very comfortable mattresses and excellent linen etc. The bathrooms are very well equipped and modern. The house has lots of character and there are touches of memorabilia and posters with clever decor which makes the place quirky but the level of detail and specification of the rooms is outstanding, It impressed so much that I returned for a night with my husband during our trip through France in September and stayed in the same room! The breakfasts were fabulous, with delicious home made jams and freshly squeezed OJ, range of lovely bread/ cheeses/ hams etc. Great coffee! We ate the table D'hote dinner on the second stay - good value, lovely sea food and great pudding! Generous servings of good value wine too. We enjoyed the pool on our first visit and the gardens are a lovely spot to sit and relax too. Very peaceful at night with no traffic noise but only a very short drive or walk down the hill into Arromanche. This lovely couple have made a delightful place to stay and I highly recommend their hospitality.

When given the opportunity to stay in a French country side home over any hotel, you alway go with the home. What a fantastic experience! Our hosts were absolutely perfect. They gave us tons of information, cooked the most delicious meals, and had electric bikes for us to use for our adventures up and down the Normandy beaches. La Villa Mirabelle is the perfect place to stay if you ever find yourself in Normandy near Arromanches-les-Bains. You must ask for the tiramisu!
