The Finer Things

The Finer Things – Saint-Samson-de-la-Roque, Normandie

Perfect for a special get-together or an important celebration, this superbly restored chateau is just a twenty-minute drive from the coast and the pretty town of Honfleur. Dressed in a fittingly classical style, it’s been meticulously brought back to life as it would have been centuries ago – but with plenty of modern luxuries added for good measure. Antique furniture and stunning period features are the focus of attention indoors, with ornate living rooms, a games room and an impressive dining room. The traditional country kitchen is as French as they come and there’s a sweeping staircase up to the first floor bedrooms, where murals and antique works of art adorn every wall. You’ll find several delightful bedrooms, some with romantic Juliet balconies, and enough bathrooms to make sure everyone’s happy. As well as games of pool in the games room, you can spend time playing tennis on the courts, relaxing in the sauna, exploring the vast grounds or even collecting eggs for breakfast from the resident chickens. A serviced home, housekeepers will provide breakfast and there’s also the opportunity to use the stables.
