Chantier d'art Contemporain La Serverie

This place reminded us of the early days of Air-Bnb where a great host would adapt their home for guests and retain its style and personal touch. Philippe was an outstanding host and we enjoyed our conversations (even though our French is poor). The room was huge and interesting, and we used the well-maintained bikes much more than we expected on the nearby bike path (clocking up about 50-60 km during our stay). Sitting in the private garden eating apples straight from the tree brough back happy childhood memories. It's an easy walk/drive/ride into Clecy which is a pretty village. While it was perfect for us, there are some things that might not work for everyone, so here are some things that might be useful to consider if this place is right for you. -the bathroom is part of the second bedroom (separated by some partial visual screening) rather than a separate room. We were a couple so we just treated the second bedroom as a bathroom/wardrobe. It would also suit a family with young children, but may not be suited to people who want to ensure some privacy from each other. -the main bed is under ceiling windows (velux) without blinds. I loved it when awaking at night to see the stars (and the rain) but if your sleeping is very sensitive to light you might find yourself waking early in summer (or bring a sleeping mask). -the second bedroom is darker, but contains a stairwell to the downstairs area that is visually screened but not sealed. If you like sleeping in you might hear some noise from guests having breakfast downstairs. We just closed the door to this room at night and no noise came through to the main bedroom. -the path and steps up to the room might be a bit of a challenge if you have heavy bags that you can't carry far. If these things aren't concerns for you then this is a brilliant place to stay! Thanks for welcomng us Philippe.

Nothing.

The host Philippe has made his house like a private museum of his beautiful art. He is the best host you can ever imagine, energetic, entertaining and always attentive to his guests and making sure they are well taken care of. The house is overlooking the hills of the Normandie country side and close to the nearest village and restaurants. Enjoyed every minute of it. 10 points!

massive, contemporary rooms. peaceful location. just a decent walk or bike ride to Clecy and it’s great riverside restaurants and bars. the host, and his dogs, are exceptional

Phillip was an excellent host and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was very good with fresh bread/cheese/homemade jams which were delightful/fruit/ yogurts and coffee.
