A few words about

Our Cottages by the Sea

Asnelles is a seaside village located on the Côte de Nacre in Calvados, 12km from Bayeux and 2km from Arromanches. Its beach is renowned as one of the most beautiful in the region

hence its nickname: Asnelles, the beautiful beach.

Gites en Normandie offers six apartments for rent, all located directly on the seafront promenade and la plage. Panoramic windows provide stunning views of the car-free landscape, and living rooms face the bay, allowing you to enjoy the vista from every floor. A true holiday in seaside cottages overlooking la plage.

Gites en Normandie also offers the rental of a cottage, the Maisonnette “ Le Cottage ”, a small house with an independent private garden that can accommodate 5 people; it is located 50m from la plage, without crossing any streets.

Gîtes de Normandie chez Isabelle et Koen Sileghem.

It would be hard to find an apartment that ticks so many boxes! Hard to find better! An idyllic location right on the seafront, without the noise of cars, and just a few steps away on a magnificent beach! Add to that a very comfortable apartment and that breathtaking view from the bedroom or living room! A small garden and terrace overlooking the sea and the back garden—everything is perfect. I can't wait to go back. Thank you to Manoir de Mathan! The best place for a perfect holiday!

We had a wonderful weekend in this charming, very clean and well-equipped cottage. We enjoyed walking to la plage in our swimsuits 😊 via the private path. We received a very warm welcome and will definitely be back.

We had a lovely stay at the Le Largegîte. A very warm welcome. The apartment was exactly as described. Very well laid out, very clean, and the bedding was impeccable. The residence was very quiet. An idyllic setting for beautiful walks along the seafront and on la plage. A stunning view. The accommodation is ideally located for visiting the D-Day landing beaches. I highly recommend it.

The apartment is very well located, with a sea view on one side and a countryside view on the other, hence the name "Les 2 Horizons" (The Two Horizons).

I have nothing but praise. I picked up the keys at the main hotel, and the place was incredibly warm and welcoming, with a charming restaurant and courtyard. I immediately wondered if I'd made the right choice booking this beachfront apartment. I'd been upgraded, and from the 4-kilometer drive up the hill, I knew it was the right decision. The view is spectacular, especially if you're there to see la plage . Opening the door was breathtaking! The floor-to-ceiling windows offer an unobstructed view. I didn't close the curtains once. The apartment is literally 20 meters from la plage. You just have to go through the private gate, cross the pedestrian path, and you're there. You truly feel like you're at the heart of history, at the eastern end of the Mulberry artificial harbor, inside the loop it forms for about 2 km in the sea. Watching the ebb and flow of the tides and imagining yourself in June 1944 is simply magical. The garden is furnished with sun loungers and garden furniture. If it were warmer, I would spend the whole afternoon there with a drink in hand, watching the sandbanks that form every afternoon. The apartment is huge and very modern. If it weren't on the other side of the world (I'm Australian), I would go back every year. It's so close to other attractions like Arromanches, but much less crowded. I'd even like to extend my stay by spending a few nights in the manor house in the countryside; it's so welcoming.
