Overview
Villa des Roses is a beautiful estate, tucked away in a centennial tree-lined garden along the river Seine. Unforgettable dinners, long walks along the river and fireside evening await at this charming property, all just a short drive away from the beguiles of Paris. The house boasts seven bedrooms and six bathrooms, offering plenty of space for groups of up to fourteen guests.
Blending 19th century charm with modern Californian styles, the finish and décor of this sublime property will have you redesigning your house back home! The main house was built in 1883, with all the charm and character shining through the modern renovations. On the first floor there is an intimate living room with a wood stove fireplace and an antique piano. Adjacent you will find the contemporary fully equipped kitchen, with an open plan dining area. This spectacular entertaining space is perfect for spending time together, celebrating special occasions and soaking up the fabulous atmosphere of Villa des Roses.

Stepping up to the top floors of the house, there are four bedrooms. The first floor offers two en-suite double bedrooms, with two further bedrooms and a shared bathroom on the second floor. The three remaining bedrooms are within two standalone 19th century farm buildings. Each of these cosy room has an en-suite bathroom, with a private entrance, so guests can enjoy a little peace and privacy away from the rest of the group.
A special feature of this charming house is the glass house 'verrière' with a cosy wood burning stove, that offers an extra living space with a large communal table that seats sixteen guests. You can also use the space as a yoga or arts room.
Surrounded by a beautiful, vast garden, the outdoor space is equally as enchanting as the interiors. Whether you are swimming in the sixteen-meter heated saltwater pool, dining under the starlit sky or ambling along the river foraging walnuts, strawberries, raspberries, and pears, Villa des Roses is an outdoor lover’s dream!

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa Des RosesThe enchanting Villa des Roses sits tucked away in a centennial tree-lined garden along the river Seine. With beautifully designed interiors, a heated saltwater pool and stunning gardens, it is hard to imagine straying from the comforts of the house. Yet the moment you start walking along the river and strolling into the historical towns, you will see how much there is to see and do in this breath-taking area.
Finding inspiration in nature is easy in this vibrant part of France. Impressionist painters have taken insight from the lovely fields, woods and river side bluffs since the turn of the 19th century. Artists such as Monet, Albert Lebourg, Ludovic Pissaro and Louis Aston Night have all painted nearby.
With so much to do around the house, there is plenty to fill up the days of your trip. You will find experiences within walking distance, and all the delights of Paris less than two hours drive away. Local hiking trails will take you around the countryside of Normandy, or you can spend hours wondering the pretty pathways along the Seine. For outdoor adventures, bike rides and rock-climbing routes are aplenty, or for something a little calmer you can visit local castles and Monet gardens. Within walking distance of Villa des Roses, the beautiful river trail takes you to a 15th century water mill through beautiful fields and forests. The closest village boasts a 12th century church, with an old-fashioned café, bar and grocery shop for your everyday needs.
For foodies, France obviously offers endless culinary delights! On a special occasion, the nearby historical town of Lyons la Foret boasts a Michelin star restaurant that we can highly recommend, just a thirty-minute drive from the house. Le Moulin de Connelles or La ferme de Haute Crémonville are also both in the Michelin guide, and are within a ten-minute drive of Villa des Roses, so you can arrange plenty of evenings out, just make sure you leave time for an amble around the pretty towns and villages before your meal.
Within a short drive, you can visit the famous ocean cliffs of Etretat, the Casino of Deauville, the port of Honfleur or the D-Day Normandy beaches.

Region
History and gastronomy go hand-in-hand in Normandy, making it a great choice if culture and fine dining are what you’re looking for in a holiday! There’s still plenty on offer besides the food and tales of yesteryear, however – you can take a tour around some of the beautiful inland towns and villages or head to the coast, where you’ll find a mixture of wide sandy beaches and rugged, romantic cliffs. If you’re not already convinced to head to one of our villas in Normandy (or maybe if you’ve already booked) you’ll find a wealth of great things to do, see and eat in our ultimate Normandy travel guide!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesDesigned by a family with children, Villa des Roses feels as though it has been renovated with families in mind, providing social living spaces, play areas and an incredible garden leading onto the Seine. Both inside and out, this charming holiday home provides ample space for a group of up to fifteen guests to gather, celebrate and enjoy what is most important – quality time together as a family.
For older children, the separate en-suite bedrooms, within two standalone 19th century farm buildings are brilliant, offering a sense of independence and privacy, within the same estate. Similarly in the main house, the top floor bedrooms are great for younger kids, with a shared bathroom and plenty of space for them to spread out and enjoy their own room.
The outdoor spaces are a highlight among kids who visit Villa des Roses. Starting with the private, heated saltwater swimming pool, they can enjoy hours of waterside fun, dipping in and out of the pool and playing on the surrounding lawn. With over 5000m2 of private estate, the opportunities for running around, playing games of hide and seek, foraging from fruit trees and learning about the rich and vibrant nature in the area are endless. Long evening meals under a star lit sky are a perfect choice for family time together creating unforgettable memories.
Within walking distance of the house there are hiking trails and walking paths great for an afternoon or day of exploring. A ten-minute drive away, you will find local guides who can take you all on epic rock-climbing trips, mountain biking expeditions, hiking and kayaking excursions. At Ecurie du Chouquet, a twenty-minute drive away, you can take your kids on a horse-riding adventure, exploring the beautiful countryside from a different angle!
This picturesque area of Normandy has inspired artists through the centuries, with Monet, Albert Lebourg, Ludovic Pissaro and Louis Aston Night all having drawn inspiration from the pretty towns and stunning scenery. This makes it a great place to induce some creativity among your kids, getting them drawing and learning about the historic significance of art in this area. There are plenty of historic churches, museums and sites to visit, great for their little minds to explore!

Gorgeous!
Loved how fresh this home was decorated. There were so many doors and window that let in natural light and fresh air. The large garden that led to the Seine was gorgeous. The owner was extremely kind and knowledgeable of the area!

Magical stay
We had a truly magical stay at Jordan's house. The house and grounds are delightful and exactly as described. The setting along the river is so peaceful and we saw an abundance of wildlife along the river, every day we saw something different. The surrounding area is beautiful with plenty to do for all of our family which spanned three generations
