Fodor's Expert Review Le Manoir des Impressionnistes

Set atop a small wooded hill 200 yards from the sea, this gorgeous half-timber, dormer-roof manor has a pretty green-and-white facade in the Anglo-Norman style, plus accommodations that promise sweeping views. Guest rooms are traditionally and tastefully furnished, and all have attractive modern marble bathrooms; the first-floor room has a four-poster bed and its own balcony. There's also a spa suite that sleeps two, and a beachside residence in traditional Norman style that sleeps 12. The atmospheric restaurant presents a seasonal range of gastronomic dishes.
