Casa Solar

Holiday Rental Description

Looking out over the historic heart of the Saint-Léonard district of Honfleur from its rooftop location up on the third floor, this charming apartment can accommodate six people. On entry, you'll be greeted by a beautifully illuminated space with plenty of skylights embedded in the sloping ceilings. The open-plan living room and kitchen is an enticing mix of old and new, with a sleek kitchen and modern furnishings sitting beneath original exposed beams. The bedrooms are more classically contemporary, with ceilings that slope down from sky-high to almost floor level, which adds some design interest. Honfleur has long been a favourite with France's most famous painters, including Monet. Nowadays, this charming old port town is a popular day-trip destination for weary Parisians looking to escape the city for a long weekend. With spades of rugged maritime charm, the Vieux Bassin (Old Harbour) evokes a Normandy that was lost long ago.
