MAISON D’HÔTES ET GÎTE LA RÉSERVE

Plus. Everything. La Manoir is so beautiful. The property was large and well kept. There are tables to relax and enjoy the scenery.
Room: Clean and comfortable with lots of space. The shower was clean with no water pressure or hot water issues.
Dining room: Exquisite and inviting. On each side there were tables laid out with special treats ~ just waiting for someone to enjoy! And in the morning, it all came alive with an assortment of fresh bread, cheeses, coffee, tea, meats, etc.
Breakfast: Delicious. Valerie offered every guest eggs.
Minus. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.
Good to know. When you arrive at the property you will come to a gate. We got out of the car and walked around it and flagged someone who was in the garage. No biggie. Just mentioning so you don’t sit in the car and start honking!
Fact: We spent 10 days in France and every one of them was very nice and good. BUT, with everyone one we said, “It sure ain’t Valerie’s.” (Valerie runs La Manoir)
Worthy to mention: As I was admiring all the furnishings, Valerie approached me with her sweet smile. “Would you like some cider?” I happily accepted. “Inside or outside?” Outside, she brought us a bottle of homemade cider that needed its top popped like champaign! Then she came back with a freshly baked tart that she had just made. Enough for all 4 of us. What a surprise it was!

A group of 4 of us had a magnificent stay at La Reserve this October. The house, the interiors, the food, the rooms, the grounds - it was all incredible and so perfectly French. And Valerie, the owner, was an absolute pleasure! She has created an incredible oasis, which was the perfect end to our trip after busy Paris. My daughter is 8 and loved the animals and the small playground. We also had 2 older ladies with us and they were very comfortable in the main floor room which is accessible. I highly recommend ordering a board one night too - the most beautiful presentation and so delicious! With close proximity to Monet's garden, the beautiful towns of Normandy, and CDG, it's perfectly located for a French countryside stay.

I love La Reserve! I’ve brought intimate art groups here - all my guests over many years love La Reserve, the house, rooms, food, hostess Valerie, the beautiful grounds- everything!!!

Un luogo incantevole reso ancor più speciale da Madame Valerie, perfetta padrona di casa. Ci ha accolti con un drink servito nel bellissimo giardino. La casa è meravigliosa, gli arredi e i tessui di pregio. La colazione è a dir poco sontuosa. In pochi minuti si raggiunge Giverny. Spero vivamente di tornarci.

La Réserve est un endroit charmant et décoré avec beaucoup de goût. Le petit déjeuner était riche et varié et préparé avec beaucoup de soin. Merci beaucoup pour votre accueil chaleureux qui nous a laissé un excellent souvenir de notre visite à Giverny!
