Boucles de Seine
Normandy, France
This enchanting thatched cottage from the Velvet Collection is a true retreat nestled in the heart of Normandy’s natural beauty. Set within a spacious property featuring a private three-hectare lake, the house radiates calm, openness, and natural charm. Large windows flood the interiors with daylight while framing picturesque views of the water and surrounding landscape. The décor blends the authentic character of a traditional country home with carefully selected vintage pieces, warm wood tones, and natural materials. A fully equipped kitchen, high-quality beds, and a cozy fireplace lounge ensure restful moments, while a thoughtfully curated selection of books and games, a projector for movie nights, and a speaker for your favorite music complete the ultimate comfort experience.
The tranquil private lake invites morning swims, leisurely boat rides at sunset, or quiet moments by the water to fully enjoy the surrounding nature. Ducks and geese are the only neighbors, accompanying the day through this little natural heaven. A special highlight is the sauna on the floating pontoon, offering breathtaking views over the sparkling water and the surrounding woods. The result is an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere, where arriving, breathing deeply, and truly unwinding are guaranteed.
Location
The charming home is nestled in the idyllic village of Anneville-Ambourville, set within the gentle river landscapes in the heart of the Boucles de la Seine Normande Regional Nature Park. Wild meadows, lush forests, and the tranquil waters of the Seine create an atmosphere of calm and natural serenity. Despite its secluded setting, Paris is just an hour and a half away, with easy access to the international airport. Nearby, the impressive ruins of the Abbaye de Jumièges invite a stroll through history. Scenic cycling and walking paths along the Seine wind through the countryside, while excursions to charming towns such as Pont-Audemer or the historic port of Honfleur, with its timber-framed houses, lively markets, and boutique galleries, reveal the authentic charm of Normandy.
