Clos Saint-Gilles, Normandy, France
A leper colony might seem an odd choice for conversion to a guesthouse – but this 17th-century half-timbered building and adjacent farmhouse captured the imagination of Gilles and Joëlle de Champ, both passionate about old structures and gardens.

Why we've chosen Clos Saint-Gilles
A leper colony might seem an odd choice for conversion to a guesthouse – but this 17th-century half-timbered building and adjacent farmhouse captured the imagination of Gilles and Joëlle de Champ, both passionate about restoring old structures and gardens. The results are delightful, with bright colours and modern textures complementing the historic elements in the three guestrooms. Some rooms offer views across to Mont St-Michel just a few kilometres away – if you can tear your eyes away from the immaculately curated gardens, part formal, part planted with ancient vegetable varieties.
