Hotel Villa Lara & Villa Augustine

About

The Villa Lara is a small privately-owned luxury boutique hotel with a chic but casual atmosphere in the historic center of Bayeux. Next to it, the Villa Augustine is set in the peaceful grounds and part of the Villa Lara and has 4 presidential suites of 220 square meters with a newly constructed interior within its original charming 19th century exterior. Both villas are adjacent and nestled in the historic center of Bayeux, in a very quiet square facing the 11th century majestic cathedral and along the Aure River. The famous Bayeux Tapestry is only 2 minutes away, the pickup point for all D-Day excursions are literally outside our door. Our 32 rooms are appointed in an elegant French style. All the rooms are accessible by lift and equipped with air conditioning, a minibar, large flat-screen TV and safe. The marbled bathrooms have a walk-in shower and a separate bathtub in most of the rooms. The 28 rooms of the Villa Lara range from 30 to 50 square meters while our presidential suites are 220 square meters, all with a view on the Bayeux Cathedral. Beds are minimum 1.80 x 2 meters and in most of the rooms can be up to 2 x 2 meters. Wireless high-speed internet access is free throughout the hotel, which features a cozy bar/lounge area with a fireplace and a library, a marbled lobby, and a breakfast room set in a traditional French style where the breakfast is prepared and served in front of the guest, from 7am till 10:30am. Our complimentary fitness center is available 24/7 and equipment includes a treadmill, bicycle, weights and strength training machines. A private carpark is available with 15 spots based on a first come first served basis, and a drop-off space for buses. Although we meet the official government criteria of a 5-star property, we do not have a restaurant, spa, nor a formal bellman at the front door. We do not want to mislead our future guests who attribute these specific amenities to their image of a 5-star property, although we do of course provide porterage and turn down. And, as always, our commitment to 5-star service is at the forefront of our day-to-day operations.
