Villa Les Dunes Saint-Jean-le-Thomas

Review by hotel critic

Nestled in a charming 19th-century house, Villa Les Dunes offers a delightful seaside retreat with picturesque views of the Mont Saint Michel Bay. The warm welcome and comfortable rooms, including one with a small furnished terrace, provide a perfect setting to unwind and witness the beauty of the tides and sunsets. The property's direct beach access allows for serene walks during low tide, adding to the overall tranquil atmosphere. During our short stay, we appreciated the impeccable housekeeping and the thoughtful amenities, including free WiFi, which kept us connected amidst the serene surroundings. The multilingual staff, particularly Laurence, made us feel at home and ensured our needs were met with a touch of French sophistication. The delicious breakfast, served at an extra cost, was a highlight of our morning, featuring a variety of local delights such as croissants, ham, and homemade gateaux. The hotel's proximity to restaurants in Jullouville, a 15-minute drive away, offers guests the opportunity to savor authentic French cuisine beyond the property. Exploring the nearby natural landmarks such as the Garden of the Bishop and Château d'Avranches added a cultural touch to our stay. For those seeking further adventures, Avranches and Granville are just a 20-minute drive away, providing a glimpse into the rich heritage of the region. Villa Les Dunes exudes a sense of tranquility and charm, making it an ideal stopover for travelers en route to the ferry or a peaceful retreat by the sea. Whether enjoying the sea or garden views from the room, or simply relishing the French hospitality, this boutique guesthouse offers a unique blend of comfort, elegance, and coastal beauty.
