“Wonderful hotel, terrific view”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

I like nice, upscale hotels, and this was by far the best hotel I've stayed at in Europe. We were offered a free upgrade to a junior suite (the hotel was not crowded on the November weekend of our visit). Had I known the suite had such a breathtaking view and sitting room, I'd have reserved it in the first place. From our glass-enclosed sitting room we could see the beautiful cathedral of Bayeux, which is bathed in light at night. The proprietor is friendly and helpful, tending to all our needs. The bar is a cozy place for a drink after sightseeing. Everything seemed quite reasonable as well (although we had just come from Paris, where the prices were sky-high).

Room Tip: Splurge on a suite with a view of the cathedral. It's well worth it.

“Excellent hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

This is a great hotel. Comfortable beds and big rooms. Service is attentive and friendly, breakfast is complete and of decent quality. Place is new and modern. Best In Normandy! A bit pricy. You'll enjoy it.

“This Hotel is a destination!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

We spent the weekend in Bayeux, to do DDAY tour and see the area. This hotel made the weekend...it is a destination, we would go back just to stay at the hotel! The owners thought of everything in the room...I have traveled alot and like to stay at nice hotels,, Ritz's, Four Seasons, this hotel is truly 1 of the best. The Owner mets us upon arrival and she treated us like friends & family..they named the hotel after their daughter, Lara, the also own the Churchill next to the hotel. The town of Bayeux is lovely and we hope to return again, next fall. Thank You, Villa Lara, we hated leaving...look forward to seeing you next fall, Rima...next year I will get the dates correct for the Mont! Thank You

Room Tip: All rooms are excellent!

“Wonderful hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

A true luxury experience. Very clean, quiet and new. Don't miss having a glass of champagne in the bar, its a great place to start the evening in this beautiful town. Hotel is a little hard to find, its down what looks like a pedestrian walkway, but other than that the rooms and ambiance are perfect for couples.

The hotel is only steps from restaurants and small shops, and a great location to take a Normandy tour, since the one we took started right outside the hotel.

“good bye Mommy and Daddy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 10, 2012

There is no other hotel experience we have had that comes close to the extraordinary visit with the lovely owners and staff of Villa Lara.
Rima Herbert and her husband are charming and have an eye for detail and Yuri-the most gracious fellow at the front desk treated us like royalty - helped us when our car battery failed because i forgot to shut off the day time running lights
They guided us to great restaurants - appropriate destinations to visit in the area- how to get to places - when the time is best-etc
The room was beautiful - service perfect and comfortable-not too distant
The four nights were lovely and these folks could not do more for us and it felt like home-maybe better??
As we drove away I uttered to myself -"Bye Mommy and Daddy"

You MUST go to stay with these people and experience the best hospitality in France!

Room Tip: ask for Rima
