    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
