About this property

Charming apartment near the port and the sea, from 2 nights

'La Maison Matelot' is a pretty ancient house made of Caen stone, in a paved half pedestrian backstreet, typical of the old Port-en-Bessin. Very close to the harbour, fishing boats, restaurants, shops and 100m away from the sea. 3 apartments full of charm and personality welcome you with their bargained or family furniture, retro, vintage or modern and their seaside spirit. The ancient materials have been kept (exposed stones, floors in coloured cement tiles, woodwork). On each of the 3 house levels, an apartment of about 30/35 sq.m, for 2 persons(3 persons on the 1st floor) with kitchen. New equipment, cosy comfort and Wi-Fi. Rentals are made for the time you wish from 2 nights: weekend, mid-week, week, etc. and the packages are all inclusive (charges, linen, final cleaning, Wi-Fi). Public cost-free car park nearby. No parking in front of the house but a stand for few minutes is possible. No smoking, pets are not allowed.

Perfect in every way
This was by far our nicest stay on our three week trip in France. It not only was very comfortable, but had the best shower and bathroom as well as a fully stocked kitchen with all the essentials and a Nespresso coffee maker. Bakery down the lane and lots of restaurants to choose from nearby. Just be aware it is up three floors so quite a few stairs. I would highly recommend.

Definitiv eine Reise wert
Kleine, mit viel Liebe eingerichtete Wohnung unter dem Dach und direkt im Zentrum von Port en Bassin. Die Betreuung war erstklassig. Absolut empfehlenswert.

Tolle Ferienwohnung direkt unter dem Dach
Wir waren zu Zweit für 4 Übernachtungen in einer schnuckeligen Ferienwohnung direkt unter dem Dach. Sehr sauber. Geschmackvolle aufeinander abgestimmte Einrichtung. Die inserierten Bilder entsprachen genau der Wirklichkeit. Es fehlte uns am Inventar nichts. Küchenzeile TOP. Sogar ein Bluetooth-Radio war vor Ort um sein Handy zu koppeln. WLAN sowieso. sehr guter Ausgangspunkt um die Strände des D-Day zu erkunden. Ruhiger schnuckeliger Ort mit tollem Strandabschnitt voller Jakobsmuscheln. Sehr empfehlenswert. Wir würden immer gerne wiederkommen. MERCI Astrid

Five stars in every cstagory. Perfect
Clean. Perfect location. Delightful and helpful landlord. Perfect town to stay for seeing the area. Great free parking. You could live forever in that stunning loft. Bed felt bigger than a queen. Good linens. No complaints. Kitchen set up for cooking any meal. Loft was quiet except for occasional loud street noises. Loft window let in all that gorgeous sea air as we were there in July. Sea gulls and church bells and fresh sea food. Bakery a one minute walk. Miss it already. Thank you Astrid.

Chic décor and great amenities!
Le Maison Matelot was a great base for our exploring the Normandy coast and landing beaches. Astrid was a great and friendly hostess, very easy to communicate with and we absolutely loved our two-night stay. Walk out onto the jetée with a bottle of cidre rosé after the restaurants close (the water is 2 minutes away) and you might even meet a harbor seal
