The warm Villa René
For sixteen years, Edith has welcomed hundreds of visitors in her guest house called Le Montivert, located in the hills of Villers-sur-Mer. In 2022, change of direction, she wanted a house in the center of town so that her guests could do everything on foot. She found La Villa René, a large house built in 1880 in the center of Villers-sur-Mer, "three minutes from the sea on foot, I calculated to be precise" she says. Her son, a specialist in home renovation, got down to the task. Edith wants a modern environment, but does not hesitate to keep her family furniture to decorate. The breakfast room overlooks a private garden, where an apple tree, an apricot tree and a plum tree have been planted, essential for the home-made jams.
