6 bedrooms. Year-round pool under a light-filled veranda. Hot tub under the stars. And that gentle Norman pace that invites you to slow down.
Welcome to a Harmony Homes property: our collection of nature-surrounded retreats designed for families and groups of friends, professionally managed.
Under 2 hours from Paris, this elegant half-timbered farmhouse sits in the heart of the Pays d'Auge countryside, between Bernay and Lisieux. Here, every detail has been designed to turn a stay into a lasting memory: private spa, generous living spaces, and that Norman atmosphere that invites long meals around the table and walks through the apple orchards.
##Space
Private wellness area
A large pool enclosed in a glass-and-steel pavilion, open year-round. Natural light pours in from every angle, with views of the Norman farmhouse and gardens. Outside, a hot tub with jets (100°F / 37°C) for starlit evenings and a sauna (2/3 pers.) to unwind. All accessible in complete privacy, any time of day.
Generous living spaces
A welcoming kitchen and dining area with authentic charm, exposed beams, and a wood stove. 6 spacious bedrooms accommodating up to 15 guests. Hotel-quality bedding, linens provided, and those small details that make all the difference: essentials and coffee provided, board games, books.
On-site activities
Indoors: foosball, dedicated children's corner. Outdoors: barbecue, large terrace, ping-pong table, playground (swings, slide). The Fontaine au Dragon trail starts directly from the house for walks or running. The Charentonne pastoral golf course is 20 minutes away.
For retreats and corporate seminars
Fiber internet, flexible spaces, an environment that fosters focus. An ideal setting for yoga retreats (up to 9 practitioners) or intimate team seminars: your team will thank you.
##Neighborhood
La Chapelle-Hareng and the Pays d'Auge
A peaceful hamlet in the heart of authentic Normandy. Here, apple orchards line the sunken lanes, farms still produce their own cider and Camembert, and you'll see more cows than tourists.

❄️ Air conditioning is available only in the living room. The rest of the house stays cool thanks to the thick walls. One fan is provided per bedroom.
🎉 Celebrations welcome, neighbours respected — Birthdays, reunions, long lingering meals: they all have their place here. Music stays indoors. Outdoors (terrace, garden, surroundings), we ask you to keep a reasonable noise level during the day, and quiet after 10pm. An outdoor noise sensor is simply there to help maintain this balance. Indoors, enjoy to your heart's content.
