A lovely boutique hotel keeping rooms with their original eighteenth century features. Whilst discretely introducing modern plumbing.

A night at the museum.
The luxury suite is like admiring the royal bedrooms at chateau musee's and then trying out the bed. The bed on top of that may be the most comfortable bed in France. The suite is perfect for a romantic visit to Falaise.

It was a magnificent property. Centrally located in Falaise, but also very quiet. The owner, Charles, was extremely welcoming and it was like being a guest in his private home. His private home, however, was like something out of a fairy tale. A unique experience.

Very spacious room with a unique stylized decor that makes one feel transported to a different era. Delicious dishes and pleasant breakfast room. Charles is an outstanding host who goes above and beyond for his guests - we needed to check in early and leave our luggage to tour the city and visit the Falaise castle and he gladly accommodated us. I the morning we had an early train and he prepared a full early breakfast before the scheduled time.

What a gem of a place well worth a visit!
I had a truly wonderful time, the owner is very attentive and great to talk to about the history of the area the building. Breakfast was fantastic as well just sitting in such a historic place and enjoying it as an experience. The hotel itself is less that two minutes walk to the city but also relatively quiet! I will go back again and looking forward to when that will be!

A really great find! Falaise makes a good stop over en route for UK from south of France. This Castel was amazing - 1787 and beautifully furnished by the charming owner. Superb breakfast too. It will become our base on future travels.

Enjoyed staying in a chateau in town. Charles the owner was very welcoming and gave us a tour around his home. If you want to stay in a modern hotel with all the amenities this is probably not the place for you. But if you want charecter and personal service you will not regret it. Breakfast in front of the log fire surrounded by artwork overlooking the park from your 18th century drawing room was an experience we will always remember.

A true castle experience
Our stay was just amazing - what a lovely castle renovation!! Thank you Charles for your great hospitality and attention to detail. The bed was super comfortable, the room spacious, bathroom had both shower and bath and our breakfast was a delicious selection of local products set in a lovely salon with a warm fire place. We’ll be back!

Perfection!
Everything about Castel Saint-Léonard was perfect. The owner, Charles, greeted us warmly, made a dinner reservation, and gave us a tour of his amazing old home. He explained the history of the building and his plans for the future. Charles is lovingly restoring a significant mansion and deserves a lot of credit for his ambitious plans. Falaise is a very interesting city with several museums and a castle of William the Conqueror. Charles was a charming host and we enjoyed our stay very much.

Exceptionnel !
L'accueil est agréable et l'hote, charmant. Il sait partager sa passion de l'histoire et transmettre les anecdotes dont chacun peut être friand. Le site et la suite sont, tout simplement, exceptionnels ! Nous avons occupé la suite située dans la rotonde. Quiétude, calme, repos. Et tout ceci accompagné par le sifflement des oiseaux... Un fort bonus pour la literie de qualité. Plateau d'accueil. Petit-déjeuner agréable et de qualité (fruits frais en salade, oranges pressées, viennouserie, confitures... Nous sommes plongés dans le XVIIIème siècle. A faire, et à refaire !

Ny renoverede værelser med on suite fantastiske badeværelser. Feriens bedste seng og luksus morgenmad med lokale kvalitets produkter. Michelin rekommanderet restaurant 2 min gang derfra, som er så god den fortjener en stjerne. Kan kun give de allerbedste anbefalinger.

Accueil aimable et personnalisé par le propriétaire qui est aux petits soins pour ses hôtes. L’établissement est en centre-ville et pourtant, l’environnement est vert et très calme. Les chambres sont très spacieuses et décorées avec un goût exquis et avec une totale maîtrise de style. La décoration est simple mais raffinée et les équipements (literie, machine expression...) sont de grande qualité et en très bon état. L’étage des hôtes bénéficie de plusieurs espaces comme une petite cuisine-salle à manger ainsi qu’un salon avec TV. Nous avons aussi apprécié les conseils de notre hôte pour dîner. Tout était donc parfait !

WOW, just perfect
Amazing building, the rooms are awesome, the mansion is being gently restored back to it’s glory, and the atmosphere is wonderfull. The owner is a very good host and happy to talk about the house, the histori and the beautifull paintings. Perfect for a romantic getaway or historic weekend...... it is worth every cent. The town of Falaise is lovely and offers good restaurants and historie sites.
