Normandy Etretat

After our one-night stay, the property contacted us about alleged damage we hadn't caused. This is a scam, avoid at all costs. Update: the owners' reply here is laughable. When 20% of your reviews say “scam” or “avoid at all costs,” there's clearly a major problem. Buyer beware.

The conditions and service were top-notch. I recommend it.

We'd arranged to stay for two nights and spent the week trying to reach the host by phone or email about adding a small pet fee. Nobody replied. When we arrived, we thought there was no one there. After nearly 45 minutes of ringing the bell and trying to contact them, we were leaving in the car when we noticed a light on. A scam, don't book under any circumstances! It's a shame there's no zero-star rating.

We only spent one night here on a road trip, but the apartment made us wish we'd stayed longer. It's quiet, clean, tidy, and thoughtfully renovated, with free Wi-Fi and everything you need for a vacation. The owner was friendly and helpful. The town center and cliffs are just steps away, and the location is excellent. Parking is conveniently on site, though it costs €25 a day. It's certainly not cheap, but that seems in line with local prices.
