MAISON BARFLEUR Historic seaside cottage

Description

This unique place has a style all its own. Built in 1885, carefully and stylishly renovated in 2021. Historic hideaway in the charming fishing village of Barfleur. Chosen as one of the most beautiful villages in France. Quiet dream location between harbor and beach. Both are just 2 minutes away. It is only 150 m to the house beach. The scent and sound of the sea envelop the house and make it extra special. The space We experienced this simple historic house as something special from the beginning. It is part of a listed three-piece ensemble, which was built by a wealthy farmer in the 19th century. century. Whenever one of his daughters got married, he built her a house. Thus, three houses were built, of which ours is the middle one. The view of the harbor and sea can be glimpsed from the second floor. The second floor offers an even better view, as you overlook trees and shrubs there. We were very lucky to be able to purchase the house with all the furnishings. Much of it still dates back to 1885, many furnishings, doors, details have remained unchanged for decades. Hardly anything is 'new' in the classical sense. Much comes from our personal inventory. In addition, there are black-and-white photographs by Max Kling, antiques and trouvaille from the region, silver and glasses from the fifties and sixties, design pieces and lamps from the seventies - all this gives a very special mix. Since we live in the house ourselves for many weeks a year, a personal and warm atmosphere awaits you. We are looking for guests who appreciate exactly that, in addition to the wonderful location. If you are looking for something special, original and unconventional, then you will feel at home with us. If you need the latest and largest flat-screen TV, the best equipped spa or the fully automatic kitchen, then no. Our house is a very simple house, which gives us space to slow down and unwind. That's our luxury. If you are looking for other luxury, then you should not book our house, you would be disappointed. We don't have a dishwasher because otherwise we would have had to destroy this beautiful historic kitchen. Instead, there is a wonderful old large sink where it is even fun to wash by hand. The stairs up to the first and second floors are narrow and steep, by no means barrier-free. But they are original from 1885 and have already carried many feet of many generations up and down. We don't have a TV, but the Internet connection via wireless LAN works very well, so you can stream everything via the tablet computer or laptop you brought with you. Otherwise, there is everything that makes life pleasant. A washing machine, hairdryer, blender, coffee maker, iron, and, and, and. We are happy to welcome anyone who appreciates this, as we do ourselves, as a guest in our Maison Barfleur. Other things to note - Wi-Fi available - Garden enclosed by wall and fence - Steep stairs, no barrier-free access to the first and second floors - Families with small children are responsible for the safety of their children on the stairs. Mobile safety grids may need to be brought along and attached without damaging the walls.
