Appréciations pour Le Relais Saint Gilles, Caen:
Wonderful host, delightfully charming room
We stayed at Le Relais Saint Gilles for two nights. What an amazing authentic French experience in one of the oldest houses in Caen. We had the Si Caen m'était conté room with an ensuite, which was perfect. It was everything we hoped for. The room was very clean and spacious with welcoming fresh flowers. Anne is an excellent host, so friendly and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. She even showed us around her beautiful garden. The house is situated very close to the town center with fantastic restaurants only a short walk away. The breakfast was very good, plenty of local produce. We were in Normandy for a D-Day tour but didn't realize how much there was to see and do in historic Caen. We wanted to avoid the usual chain hotels and stay somewhere with the locals and experience real French hospitality. Anne delivered this and more. I would highly recommend Le Relais Saint Gilles. What an unforgettable experience, only wish we had had more time there.

GReat welcome
Wonderful place, great welcome even if we hadn't book before. Rooms very comfortAble and cleaned, excellent breakfast.everything Was perfect!
Amazing beautiful house
We had one night here with our three children in the second floor 2-bed apartment. What an amazing find, it's so beautiful - the house is full of gorgeous furniture, the views are wonderful, and the location is perfect. We were catching the ferry back to Portsmouth the next morning and it was ideally located to get to the port. Anne is very welcoming and made us feel completely at home - she let the children run around in the garden and it was such a pleasure to meet her. We'd definitely recommend a stay here and we hope to be back one day. A rare gem and we were so pleased to find it!

Now a favourite place
This is one of the most pleasant and interesting houses that we have ever stayed, so much so that we extended our original two night stay to the rest of the week.
First I should say, as it is always nice to know, that the website is accurate in its description of the house, the location and its proximity to points of interest in Caen.
The house itself is fascinating and the garden is beautiful and seems almost to fuse with the interior. The bedrooms are comfortable , sympathetically furnished with high ceilings overlooking the Rue de Chanoires. The owners are kind, knowledgeable and very helpful. The breakfasts are excellent and varied . There is no private parking but during the course of the week I always managed to find a spot close by with no charge. The two bedrooms have intriguing names one referring indirectly to its elephant wallpaper . Our room called Si Caen m'était conté I forgot to ask about. I dont know maybe it is a quotation (which I cant find) or maybe it means that it is the essence of Caen as told in stories. A great place nevertheless.
P.S. the bed was extremely comfortable too.

Relais St Gilles
We had a great time exploring Caen, based at Relais- a truly terrific place to base yourself. Very friendly, Anne is a wonderful hostess. Total privacy to come and go at leasure. The house and garden is inspiring/ beautiful with high French taste and much artistic input from the owners. Comfortable quiet rooms/ spotless 'power' shower. Delicious breakfast with home grown fruits and hand made jams. Would highly recommend to anyone. It was lovely to be in a real French home. Many good restaurants/ bars/ historic interest a few walking moments down the road.
Une belle maison francaise, avec deco tres artistique. Le petit dejeuner avec produits maison (beaucoup des confitures et des pains, fruits, jus......- tres delicieux. Tres grande chambre- calme et tranquille. Une douche incroyable! Anne est tres sympa et etait patient avec mon quelques mots de francais! Je recommande fortement un repos au Relais!
Merci beaucoup a Anne.
