For the winter holidays

Renting a gîte to spend your off-season holidays with family or friends is great. With a fireplace, it’s even better: here is a selection of 5 gîtes in Seine-Eure with a fireplace to make the most of the magic of winter in Normandy by the fireside.

1. Villa Côté Rivière

Connelles

5 bedrooms for 18 people

For a comfortable stay, why not opt to rent a villa? You may not be able to take a dip in the pool, but you can still enjoy the view over the Seine offered by this pretty house and its 3800 square metre garden. Come up to 18 people to enjoy this heavenly spot in summer and winter alike. As the house is located in Connelles, take the opportunity to go and admire the Moulin de Connelles, a remarkable 19th-century Anglo-Norman half-timbered manor house also offering a lovely view of the river.

5. Clos de la Clotine

Acquigny

6 people for 4 bedrooms

Acquigny is one of the most beautiful villages in the Seine-Eure region. The castle, its garden, its lakes… Take the time to walk around this pretty Gîte de France. The swimming pool is not heated in winter, so why not spend a raclette evening in the lounge with its open fireplace? A little billiards to the rhythm of the jukebox and you’ll have spent the perfect evening with your loved ones. There’s plenty for children too: donkeys, sheep and goats will be delighted to meet them in the estate’s large garden. On the edge of the forest, nature lovers will go so far as to try and spot hinds and stags during a walk.
