In southern Normandy but with an ambience much closer to Provence, Aveny – near the village of Aveny - is a rambling 18th century stone farmhouse just over an hour from Paris that has been decorated for effortlessly stylish entertaining both indoors and out. Relaxing in the fall and winter with deep sofas and a wood stove, Aveny is glorious in the spring and summer with its flower-filled grounds. An ideal spot for a group getaway – each of the five rustic bedrooms is charming and 11 can fit comfortably at the farm tables for meals – and a perfect setting for sampling all of Normandy's regional specialties. No need to fear over-indulging - Aveny’s setting couldn’t be better for picturesque biking, hiking, or running (for the less energetic, there's a professional foosball table in-house, as well as a ping-pong table).

Perfect location
We had a lovely stay and the house was in a perfect location for visiting other areas of Normandy. The house is charming and quaint, Our biggest problem was that it was so hard to find! The description says “Dampsmesnil “ and that is where we drove to, however the house is actually in Aveny! Arthur was a delight to work with,

Le cadre très charmant du cottage et son jardin ont rendu ce week-end passé entre amis mémorable. On se serait cru dans un conte d’enfant de part l’aspect idyllique et champêtre de cette maison traditionnelle dans la région. La maison bien équipée bénéficie d’une grande cuisine/salle à mangé, idéale pour les grandes tablées. La cheminée et les poêles permettent de profiter en intérieur si la météo n’est pas clémente. Je recommande à 100%
