Amazing stay at wonderful Castle

We had an incredible stay at a wonderful property full of history! The property has everything you can ask. Danielle and Karine from property management are very polite and friendly and always ready to assist. Same goes for the Countess of Tocqueville and her family! Location is very convenient to all Normandie historic, natural and WWII locations. Tennis court and the grounds are great and bikes are also available. Couldn’t have asked more from our hosts, the property and our stay. Thank you!

Elegance Abounding

Our stay at the Tower was simply wonderful from beginning to end. Upon our arrival we were briefly greeted by the lovely family of the owner. They were so gracious, and they made us immediately feel welcomed and relaxed. They were leaving on holiday the following day, so it was very thoughtful of them to personally greet us. Now, there are not enough superlatives to adequately sing the praises of Mme. Phillapart! She is the tower manager and was beyond helpful with dinner reservations, the hiring of a chef for one evening and any other information or assistance that we needed during our stay. The Tower is beautifully and comfortably decorated and the grounds are exquisite. We especially enjoyed sitting out under the beaming full moon that we enjoyed during our time there. Our only regret is that we were not there longer, but it is our plan to return. In the meantime, the memories are sterling! Thank you for this wonderful piece of our journey.

One of a kind experience! Incredible property!

A memorable experience staying at the chateau! The property and the chateau are absolutely beautiful. We had three generations along and everyone had a great time. Convenient for travel to the D-Day beaches and Mont St. Michel. The host helped us organize two dinners at the chateau - one catered dinner from a nearby restaurant and a second meal with a chef. Cannot recommend enough!

Delightful!

Beautiful country chateau on charming and well maintained grounds. The chateau is elegant, well appointed, clean, and comfortable (including modern bathrooms) . Most importantly though was the warm welcome we received from our kind and gracious hosts, Corrine, Danielle and the Tocqueville family. We look forward to another vacation in the luxurious Chateau de Tocqueville.
