About this house rental
Les Madieres is a century-old restored stone farmhouse set in an acre and a half of lush land and gardens. A peaceful retreat in the French countryside, minutes from the bustling market town of Vire, with easy access to many attractions of Normandy.
There are 3 comfortable bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (1 full bath/shower & second WC), including a spa-like bathroom downstairs. Downstairs: kitchen, dining room, & lounge with wood-beamed ceiling & granite fireplace. The lounge features a TV, dvd player, & books. An excellent supply of pots & pans, to practice your French cuisine awaits! We recently updated the kitchen cabinets and appliance and removed a wall to open up the dinning area (2023)
Situated on nearly 2 acres, Les Madieres invites you to enjoy some wine on the terrace, stroll the apple orchard, or relax on a tree-shaded lounge chair & lose yourself in a book. Children will love playing on the vast fenced garden, finding the secret path way, and saying bonjour to the neighboring cows while you enjoy alfresco dining on the outdoor terrace. The setting is tranquil and surrounded by farmland and filled with the sounds of birds and little else.
Ideal for families/groups of 4 (while it sleeps 6, the lounge seats 5 and the terrace has seating for 4, along with 2 loungers in the garden).

10.0 / 10.0
Our stay was very pleasing. The house is charming and lovely. It was well prepared and perfect for the three of us. The furnishings of the house are simple but perfectly adequate. The spaceous garden is phantastic, a peaceful retreat. The location of the house is perfectly suiting a combination of interest in relaxation and visiting the great historical landmarks of Normandy - e. g. Mt. St. Michel, The Landing Beaches and Bayeux, as it is located in nearly equal distance to each of them. The cost-benefit-ratio considering these criteria is nearly unbeatable. We therefore are considering to coming back.

The house was lovely with a newly fitted kitchen. The location was amazing we loved sitting out in garden in the evenings listening to the wildlife and enjoying the tranquility. The kids loved exploring the huge gardens. We had a wonderful time and really did not want to leave. We will definitely revisit again.

Good experience, great for kids
Good experience, great for kids
We had a very pleasant stay with our kids at the house. The backyard is huge, so perfect for kids to run around. There's also plenty of room to play football or badminton.
The house itself is comfortable and spacious. It's got all the amenities you will need.
The locations is right in the middle of... nothing much. Perfect if you're looking to explore in all directions. Any direction you wish to explore will require a bit of driving though.
Recommended.

Lovely stay at Les Madieres
Weather was wonderful and we enjoyed wine on the terrace under the tonnelle, drinking wine and listening to the birds.
Central to the beaches at Granville, the Zoo, D day beaches, and mt ste. Michel.
Wifi was fast and reliable which allowed us to watch net flix on the TV as the satellite was down.
Looking forward to our return!!

D-DAY in Normandy, and so much more
D-DAY in Normandy, and so much more
We fell in love with your wonderful little farmhouse, and what an unforgettable week we spent there! We had some problems finding it in the dark and the rain, but nothing compared to the rental car problems. LOL. But when we did find it, near midnight, it was magical. Awaiting us in the warm friendly kitchen was a bottle of wine, french bread and a feeling that we could live there forever. Our visit to Normandy was so much more than we could have imagined. The friendly people welcomed us everywhere. We took part in all the D-Day festivities and my two grandchildren, both 18 years old will never forget that they and their country are loved by the citizens of Normandy. I would not hesitate to recommend your lovely spot to anyone. The old world feeling permeates the property, but with all the modern conveniences weary travelers look for. The people of Vire were so kind to us wherever we went. We ate in several of the nearby restaurants. Thanks for all your tips, the supermarket was the best. We were able to use our credit card [VISA] almost everywhere which made things very easy. Of the six of us, only Bill and I have been regular travelers to Europe. My sister and brother-in-law and our grand children had never been. Because we stayed in the cottage they received a wonderful impression of the joys of traveling to far away places and living with the people of another culture. All 4 of them gained a confidence they will need and use on future visits. I can't thank you enough, the house is so precious, the "neighborhood" so friendly and quaint, the price was very reasonable and we can't wait to make another trip. Bill and I are already discussing plans to make a month long trip to France and use your cottage and Vire as our base camp. There was so much we did not get to do in one week. Our purpose was to expose our family to the awesome celebration that occurs around D-Day, and we more than accomplished that. We also had an easy trip to Mt Saint-Michel. A trip I advise everyone to make! .While it sleeps six comfortably the price is more than reasonable for two. The laundry room was another plus. So useful for long stays. I wish I could post the photos of my brother-in-law hanging the laundry on the line in back! It was over 40 years since any of us had seen an outside clothesline. Spoiled Americans, I know. Our stay included another week in Paris [Sans auto!]. Life is good. Bon jour, Kathleen and Bill Mero

Perfect Quiet Getaway
Perfect Quiet Getaway
We had a wonderful time at Les Desert as well. The house itself was perfect size for 4 adults and 2 children (as long as the adults are willing to sleep two to a bed). The gardens were fantastic and we had some epic games of badminton over the laundry hanging line. FYI, there is no wireless internet in the house, but you will not need it. We easily made day trips to Festyland for the kids, Omaha Beach and Mont St. Michel. The town of Vire (15 minutes drive) was also a great place to sightsee in the area. Ken was very quick to respond to us as well.
Thanks for a great vacation spot for our family!

Fantastic Family house
Fantastic Family house
We enjoyed a fantastic week at this lovely house at the end of April. The house and gardens were delightful - plenty of space and our boys really enjoyed the garden. One of them managed to fall into the pond fully dressed! Unfortunately the terrace was overgrown with weeds and no garden furniture, so we were unable to enjoy the terrace on the warmer days. The house is very comfortable and cosy.
The house is in a great location - so much to see and do in every direction - we would love to go for another visit.

Les Madieres - website dosn't do it justice.
Les Madieres - website dosn't do it justice.
We'd read other people's reviews about the photos - but believe us its true. Wether you're a seasoned Gitte-er or have never had a French Cottage holiday before you will not regret staying at this beautiful property in fantastic surroundings, everything in the advert is accurate and the house was spotless and well decorated and furnished. The owner Ken may be in Vancouver but answers emails almost imediatly and when we were there, the local property manager was a very helpful english girl who lived nearby. We live on the outskirts of London and really appreciated the fact that it got dark at night (enough to see meteor showers) and during the day all you can hear is birds and the odd donkey or cow. The nearest Town is Vire -15 mins away by car with a great market on fridays,also with the Carrefour etc. If History's your thing amazingly this area was a major turning point in WW2 after D Day there are several museums,memorials & cemetaries in the area, and not far is Bayeux (tapestry) and Caen (Home of William the Conqueror -although he wasn't called that pre -1066). We are in our 50's and had a wonderful holiday here with our 15 year old son, even he looked up from his phone and nintendo occasionally!. Theres also plenty in the area to paint if you're in to art or youcan just enjoy the grounds, with your bread,wine and cheese for lunch by the pond or BBQ for dinner. We will definitely be returning, as soon as we can.

Hidden Treasure in Calvados !
Hidden Treasure in Calvados !
The charm, elegance and setting of this country farmhouse is an experience that everyone will enjoy. Nestled in the countryside, it is quiet & peaceful, and yet only a 10 minute drive to Vire, and 40 mins to Caen. While relaxing in the garden I heard grasshoppers busy in the long grass - something that I haven't heard with a few years! A wonderful kitchen of goodies awaits the 'gourmet-inclined' traveller with various utensils & pots available, plus the benefit of a herb garden outside, plus apple and pear trees. The cleanliness of the house was fresh & crisp. A welcome note from the owners awaited us with some freshly cut roses and wine in the living room. It's the perfect location for visiting the many tourist sights in Normandy and we even managed a day trip to Paris by train from Vire. The house is a 'treasure' that you dream about finding and are overwhelmed when you actually arrive there in person. We had a super time and hope to return again soon - Marguerita, Ireland.

LOVELY in LES DESERT
LOVELY in LES DESERT
We had a lovely time at your house in Les Desert. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable for our short stay. The beds are lovely and comfortable and it was great to have fresh linen and towels provided. The house was nice and warm when we arrived and the wine and milk left for us were a lovely welcome. Overall, the house provided for all our needs and exceeded our expectations from the photographs. Perhaps you could include more photos on your website so people can fully appreciate the size of the rooms and the quality of the furnishings (a picture of the dining room and/or shower in the bathroom for example). The garden and surroundings are also very peaceful and I imagine would be lovely in warmer weather.

Great time with the girlfriends
Great time with the girlfriends
Myself and 4 adult girlfriends stayed over New Years and had a blast. Coming from small and stuffy accommodations in Paris this place was roomy, comfortable, & clean. Everything was new from the furniture to the linens. Each bedroom had a great view of the south yard and comfortbale matresses. We didn't make use of the grounds in January, but it is definately private and fenced if you have kids. It was nice having british TV, althou we didn't watch a lot.
A car was a must and we rented in Vire after taking the train from Paris (great train ride!).
Overall we loved it and will be returning again next year. FYI -- stock up on your wine on Friday and Saturday, difficult to shop on Sundays.

déçus malgré le cadre
déçus malgré le cadre
Obligation de revoir l’annonce qui ne reflète pas du tout la réalité..
Malgré une bonne odeur de cire en entrant, la propreté générale est vraiment à revoir.
Les photos sont très, très anciennes. La cheminée est condamnée depuis plus de dix ans(grosse déception pour nous). La propreté à l étage est correcte, mais attention si vous couchez des personnes de plus de 40 kgs dans les lits simples, il manque des lattes aux deux sommiers et les matelas sont affreux. 2 oreillers supplémentaires vraiment sales et tachés et sans taies.
Nous avons recouverts de suite avec un plaid à nous le canapé qui fut blanc il y a longtemps mais qui est vraiment dégoûtant de taches et « d’ombres douteuses ».
Les ustensiles de cuisine sont en fin de vie depuis longtemps et bas de gamme à la base (3 petites poêles dont 1 inutilisable, impossible de cuisiner pour 6).
Tout est vétuste. Toiles d’araignées et taches sur les portes, peintures écaillées, voilages sales dont 1 que j’ai remis en place car tombé et pas remis..
Le four/gaziniere doit être changé d’urgence.
Seuls les immenses terrains et arbres ou pommiers relèvent le niveau, cependant. dommage que les 2 lumières extérieures soient cassées, impossible de profiter des soirées dehors ou de dîner en Exterieur ( 4 chaises extérieures de toute façon)
D’ailleurs les lumières de la buanderie et d’une des chambres sont cassées aussi...
En clair, le minimum est entretenu dans cette jolie maison, c’est dommage car gros potentiel pour un accueil plus que confortable. Quelques coups de pinceaux sur les portes et murs et surtout un vrai nettoyage.
Maison parfaite si on n’y passe aucune soirée (jeux de société dans la cuisine avec un éclairage très moyen).
Ha oui..pas de télé si vous avez envie, ça ne fonctionne pas.
Pas 3 salle de bains mais 1 , 1 baignoire et douche au rdc et 2 wc séparés. Impossible d’utiliser la douche
car le bouton de température ne bouge pas (cassé ?).
Pas de sèche cheveux comme dit dans l’annonce non plus.
Pas de barbecue non plus, le plus petit des BBQ Weber de table, inutilisable pour 6 personnes! Des jeux d’extérieur? 5 raquettes cassées de badminton.
Bref, très déçus car le manque de transparence nous laissait présager d’une « agréable maison de ferme magnifiquement restaurée », ce qui n’est malheureusement pas le cas.
Seule les chaises et tables de cuisine sont de qualité et en bin état.
Heureusement, le cadre exceptionnellement calme sauve cette location.

Les photos de l'annonce datent un peu , la végétation à pris ses aises. Pour la TV il manque un récepteur satellite. Draps des anciens locataires restés par terre dans les chambres ainsi que les serviettes de toilette. Nous avons passés un bon séjour dans cette jolie maison au calme dans une nature verdoyante. Plus d'entretien rendrait le séjour encore plus agréable.
