Everything perfect

As we have stayed previously, we looked forward both to our comfortable room as well as the excellent breakfast…..not forgetting the warm welcome from M Vatinel

Incredibly interesting property filled with period art and antique furniture. Best breakfast room in Normandy (+ fresh squeezed orange juice). Proprietor was very informative and congenial. Looking forward to a longer visit. Room and bath were amazing. Tub with a view!

Everything! Attention to detail and a clever blending of modern facilities such as the bathrooms with genuine 17th century grandeur.

Fascinating historical building full of amazing artefacts and beautiful features. Charles, the owner, was exceptionally welcoming and helpful.

We loved the entire experience. Staying at Castel St-Leonard is like time-travel into a classical storybook adventure. Charles introduced us to the Chateau with a short history tour of the common areas on the main floor and then accompanied us to our rooms. Each private room was elegantly decorated with furniture and artwork from former ages, yet backed up with modern conveniences. Our stay in the spacious main suite was very comfortable with a large bed and very nice bath with shower. Charles ensured we started each day with a light breakfast of cereal, fresh fruit, juice, and pastries.

Our room was spacious and well furnished. The bed was large and the linens were high quality. The whole chateau has been tastefully decorated and furnished to reflect the period when it was built. The breakfast was excellent. The pastries were as expected when travelling in France. We particularly liked the fresh fruit. The table setting was inviting and all of the food was tasty. Above all, our host was outstanding. He eagerly assisted us with plans for exploring the area and really helped us absorb the culture of the chateau and the city. It was excellent.

Fascinating historical building with friendly and very informative host Charles, who coudl not have been more helpful, right in the centre of Falaise with all main attractions in walking distance. Super room, lovely bathroom, all beautifully decorated. Recommended place to stay! We will be back.

There was nothing we didn't like. We couldn't have asked for a better overnight stay.

The location was excellent, right in the centre of the town. Charles was very attentive to every detail and breakfast was a delight of fresh bread, croissants, home made jams and fresh fruit salad. The decor of the house and particularly the bedroom suite was outstanding, very chic and elegant. Fantastic view from the room, overlooking the park. It was the perfect location to visit the castle of William the Conqueror which was partly the reason for our visit.

Presented as an authentic period chateau lovingly restored. We loved it.

The warm welcome, the spotlessly clean rooms, the comfort of the beds, the amazing breakfast, the central location and the abhorrence of staying in a classic French house which is obviously loved by its custodian

Entrance is a little tight! Take care with low cars.

Beautiful building with wonderful rooms, well decorated and furnished. The art around is excellent. The host is friendly and helpful and speaks good English. Breakfast was good, and in a beautiful setting. The music playing really added to the ambience. Highly recommend!

We arrived on a Sunday evening early & would have liked an earlier check in time.

It was extremely convenient to the town, provided parking & a very comfortable bed & room.

Nothing could have been any better. A perfect stay.

I have now stayed at Castel Saint-Leonard several times and if I was to return to Falaise, it would be essential to me to stay there again. The elegance and comfort of the building, the bedrooms and the bathrooms; the tasteful breakfast;the safe and secure parking and the friendliness and efficiency of the owner all combine to make this the perfect place for me.

There are no negative issues...

I have stayed here before, which was why I booked Castel St L.eonard. For me, the accomodation is perfect. In the very centre of Falaise, with private parking for the car, it is a slice of old world luxury presided over by a perfect host. Superbly furnished, full of atmosphere, with true comfort and a very good breakfast.

I loved everything.

I can’t recommend Castel Saint Leonard highly enough. Charles was an attentive and thoughtful host, the Castel was absolutely gorgeous and we would definitely return. What a find.

The host and owner, Charles Vatinal provides exceptionally breathtakingly beautiful accommodations.

Our French host made us feel extremely welcome and explained about the history of the hotel, very slowly in French (because we're learning). The breakfast was wonderful & in really elegant surroundings.
