We have just returned from a trip to Normandy and a stay at the Villa Lara...where do I start to sing the praises?? Is it the location in the charming town of Bayeux that was virtually untouched by the war, literally 2 blocks from the famous Bayeux tapestry? Or perhaps its proximity to the Normandy Invasion beaches (approximately 20km away)?... More

My wife and I stayed at this location in April 2012. I must say that our entire expreience was excellent and we would 100% recommend this location to other guests. 1) The customer service was exceptional ( as in very very good). 2) Our French is poor as best. The employees knew enough English that communications was never an issue.... More

I would stay here again and again. New property (opened Feb 2012). The staff couldn't do enough to make our stay enjoyable. The rooms are great and the daily breakfast was wonderful (try the local jams!) They even have a small bar if you want to have a drink before of after dinner. The only glitch was that we couldn't...

The staff and owners treat you like friends and are wonderful hosts. As non-French speaking Canadians we appreciated that they spoke English very well and always in our presence. We have stayed in several 4 and 5 star hotels and this rates as many stars you can give it. We absolutely had no concerns and it was really unique when... More

We ended up at this hotel when a room at a neighboring hotel was unsatisfactory. It is six months old and a 4 star hotel. The room was spacious, huge bathroom with tub and shower, a fabulous view of the cathedral, and a great breakfast daily (not included, but worth the convenience). Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

This recently opened hotel was exceptional..very accessible from train station as well as town centre. Staff was very helpful and very willing to book any tours or restaurants..which were fantastic. Really enjoyed our stay!!

This hotel is a real jewel. Family owned by longtime hotel professionals, with an outstanding young staff just waiting to serve your needs. Location, with wonderful views of cathedral from every room and in close proximity to Bayeux tapestry, is superb. Carol and I were there for 4 nights and were sad to leave this brand new hotel.

We booked into the Villa Lara and it was one of the highlights of our two-week vacation. The lobby is gorgeous, and the rooms were some of the prettiest we have encountered, with an amazing updated bathroom and beautiful views. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, and the location is perfect. It even has free, adjacent parking. Cons: None.... More

For the third year my two sons and I visited Bayeux. We have stayed at other properties in the past and this year decided to try the Villa Lara. I have stayed a many hotels around the world and in the U.S. The Villa Lara is second to none! It is charming and the staff are the most accommodating and... More
