Orbec in the trough
Between Bernay and Vimoutiers, Orbec was built in the valley of the Orbiquet.
Claude Debussy composed its "gardens under the rain" .Orbec has preserved the 16th century built signs: the wooden panel of many medieval houses and the stone of the mansions. It is in this "charming villotte", sung by La Varende, that Didier undertook to restore an old butcher's shop in this small town to make a shelter. This house was very dilapidated and Didier had to roll up his sleeves for the metamorphosis takes place because the restoration is made with the most diverse recoveries, from antique dealers and antique materials merchants, objects revisited for decoration,
The mission of Didier is successful: atmosphere incredibly warm, serene and neat decoration, make this place an ideal place to meet friends for a weekend by the fire.
The cottages are open since August 2008 and from which it is advisable to discover the thousand and one detour of this charming land of trough.

This was my second time staying here and it was as enjoyable as the first time several years ago. The property manager is very prompt in responding to any needs. My duration changed after initial booking and they were very nice about accommodating my change.

Beautiful Orbec

Didier and Monique could not have been more welcoming. On hand to help and guide if needed. The property was stunning and quite literally in the centre of the town. The patisserie's were a nightmare for people with a sweet tooth as their delicacies were to die for!!! We really enjoyed making memories here with our family and two dogs who came with is for the first time. C’est magnifique!

Lovely house with large rooms and two full bathrooms. Not suitable for those with mobility issues as it has a narrow staircase. Kitchen could do with a couple of extra pots, but plenty of crockery and glassware. Lovely town with a couple of great restaurants and a couple of bars. Great boulangerie just down the street and 2 medium sized supermarkets, one within walking distance (5 minutes). The owner was great, loads of information and quick responses. Even booked a restaurant for the night of our arrival which was really appreciated! Would definitely stay again, great base to explore Normandy. Be aware that you cannot park on the street on market day, but there are a couple of free car parks at the end of the road, about a 2 minute walk away from the front door.

Missed the mark

Decorations good, style not unlike Property in Tordouet. However, listing says washer/dryer. None exist in that property. Patio door didn't open and vegetation had taken over. Wrong code given for wi-fi access. Most importantly we looked forward to seeing our "friend" and never did

Unterkunft mit Charme

Leider oder zum Glück wird in Orbec der Verfall aufgehalten. Der gesamte Ort ist eine Baustelle und soll an Attraktivität gewinnen. Die Gite ist für winterliche Stimmung schön, im Sommer und für längere Aufenthalte würden wir sie nicht erneut buchen. Sehr nette Gastgeber.

Fantastic house and hospitality

We had a really lovely week at Didier’s gite in Orbec-en-Auge. The house was spotlessly clean - more important now than ever, with Covid-19 - and had everything we could possibly have needed. The house was really comfortable, with lovely pillows and linens, and is well-located for exploring the nearby region. Didier was a very conscientious, generous and friendly host and went far beyond what we would have expected. We felt very welcomed and well taken care of. I would highly recommend a stay at this lovely property.

Wonderful Stay in Normandy

We enjoyed the house in Orbec very much, loved Orbec and it's surroundings. We felt at home and appreciated all the tips we received. The landlord welcomed us personaly and provided us with a lot of local restaurants and producers of local products we would not have found on our own. From Orbec we visited the DDay monuments in Ouistreham, Arromanche-les-Bains and Colleville-sur-Mer. Also Lisieux and the beautiful Basilique. The coast to Deauville and Honfleur are only 50 minutes away. We felt the house was well equiped and was very clean upon arrival. The regional products and the softdrinks in the fridge were very welcoming. We brought our dog and he was welcome too. The parc des loisires with the very bright Orbiquet river was nice to swim in. The tourist office provided us with several beautiful walks of 10/14 km, all from the surroundins of Orbec. Savouring the local delicacies, the more than beautiful wether and the welcoming ambiance of the house made our holiday one to remember!

Séjour découverte Normandie

Très bien situé à proximité des commerces et des châteaux à visiter dans la région dont le château du Breuil et sa distillerie de calvados ! Maison confortable avec grande cheminée pour les soirées au coin du feu en famille ! Vraiement très sympa même en hiver ...

Charming

This gite was beautifully decorated and had everything one needs for an extended cottage stay. Its located on Orbec's main street and parking is ample in the offseason. Within a couple of blocks there are numerous bakeries, butcher shops, laundry facilities and grocery stores to get supplies. We found the duvets in the bedrooms to be a little too warm to be comfortable, and regulating the temperature through the house was a little challenging with the individual radiators that did not always respond. Windows in the upper floors are easily opened if fresh air is needed. Two things we disliked were the strong smell of cigarette smoke on the main floor that seemed to seep from the adjacent homes, and the dark lighting that resulted from heavy drapes in the living room that were drawn to hide a large advertiisng placard for sister properties in the front window. Elderly or large people may not like the number of stairs to the bedrooms, or climbing in and out of the tub in the master bathroom. Wifi was adequate and we had no problems logging in. Enquiries to the owner were responded to in a timely manner, but the confirmation of payment took a little longer than I felt comfortable with. Meeting of a property representative was punctual and the key drop/security deposit return at the end of the stay was very easy.
