L’Embellie

Built from traditional Caen stone, this impressive village house has a well-kept private garden with views over the orchard and the countryside beyond. The holiday accommodation is on the first two floors, the owners have an apartment on the third floor with separate access, which they sometimes occupy. The village is ideally situated between the historic towns of Caen and Bayeux. Creully itself boasts a fine château and excellent restaurant. Only 10 minutes north is the seaside town of Courseulles-sur-Mer, whose coastline was made famous during the second world war as the D-Day landing beaches. The sandy beaches and pretty little fishing ports with local markets are a feature of this area, and many superb seafood restaurants can be found offering mouth-watering local dishes.
