I can't express enough that if you are planning to go to this region in France, visit Giverny and Monet's Gardens or even if you are not, you should come stay with Alain and Ariane in Vernon! They have made their place one of a kind! My Mom, daughter and I stayed in "the Bird" room and the attention to... More

My husband and I loved everything about The Hermitage. Alain and Ariana are such gracious hosts! It's a quiet location and minutes away from Giverny. In the evening we walked down the bike path to have supper in Vernon, and in the morning we enjoyed a delicious French breakfast in our "Birds Room." Then off to Monet's Garden! The only... More

If you're looking for an individual and interesting B & B in a semi-rural location, this is the one. The property, the last house on the fairly quiet D5 road from Vernon to Giverny, is set back from the road on a large plot. It is c.1km from Vernon and c.2.5km from Giverny, either of which can be easily reached... More

I just had to add my praises to my daughter's for this delightful holiday residence and lovely couple who felt like friends we had known for years after only a few hours acquaintance. Ariane and Alain were great hosts who were always helpful and attentive. Their local knowledgeable was amazing and extremely useful and they always had time to make... More

Wow.. :) My mother and I both agree that this was our favourite holiday and accommodation yet! I can only imagine you would not be happy here if you are more comfortable in the stark plastic and sterile environment of a typical budget hotel. 'The Hermitage' I realised immediately, is the perfect name (and true to history) for this serene... More

we stayed 4 nights with two wonderful hosts, to be able to visit Monet's Garden. I cannot fault the service, the accommodation, and the breakfast served in the Birds room, where presentation was everything ! We were treated as though we were life long friends. Such a pleasant stay and one we will never forget. Arianne is a guide at... More

We had three lovely days and nights staying at this wonderfully idyllic country B & B, only 40 mins easy train ride from Paris! The beautifully restored property is ideally situated half way between Vernon and Giverny, at a comfortable walking distance from both. The hosts were very warm and helpful, the decor charming and comfortable and the breakfast spread... More

This lovely reasonably priced bed and breakfast was the highlight of our trip to France. The manor was very conveniently located and we were served breakfast in our room. In addition. Ariane, who is also a professional photographer and tour guide gave us a private tour of the gardens which was just fantastic. If you go to Giverny, you should... More

We stayed at l'Hermitage recently over the week-end. It was a wonderful experience. The Bed & Breakfast is really nice residing in a nice historical building. The hosts are absolutely charming and are extremely knowledgeable about Giverny area, the Monet museum. The service is excellent. The location is perfect at a walking distance from Monet Museum. I strongly recommend this... More
