What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Little has changed about its stately wood and slate façade, an unconventional mélange of steep gables, decorative archways, and details including a fairy-tale turret.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Pennedepie sits midway between Honfleur and Deauville, putting coastal beaches and historic harbor towns a short drive away.

The rooms
Bedrooms retain exposed timber beams and rustic parquet floors. Select rooms add original fireplaces or freestanding clawfoot tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool sits along a brick annex, lined with timber decking and sun loungers facing the gardens.
The spa
Inside the spa, a traditional sauna and hammam sit beside a relaxation lounge beneath a starry fiber-optic ceiling.
At the table
Le Capucine serves seasonal dishes from an on-site permaculture garden. Beside the terrace, Le P'tit Yard pours house cocktails.
How it began
Originally known as Manoir d'Apreval, the estate belonged to the family behind the historic cider press next door.
