La Ferme Saint Simeon Hotel & Spa - Relais & Chateaux

Rialto Score 9+

A Relais And Chateaux hotel. Rialto is a Virtuoso agency and can provide VIP access and offers.

Sunlight playing off the grounds at Ferme Saint Siméon might remind you of an impressionist painting. And for good reason: Claude Monet and his fellow artists dreamed up the Honfleur School while drinking cider under these very apple trees. Today, this 17th-century Norman house offers 35 airy accommodations with oak parquet flooring, lush fabrics, and fine furnishings; many overlook the Seine estuary (some of them will propose steam shower and balneo bathtub after refurbishment). The Bistro La Boucane, in the "chaumière of Monet,” and the gastronomic restaurant welcomes you. Enjoy local, seasonal produce by executive chef Matthieu Pouleur.

The hotel is an ideal starting point to discover Normandy, take a tour to:

the World War II D-Day beaches the Cider and local cheese routes

Rooms The 35 rooms and suites are distributed between the Farm, main building and the Manor situated in the gardens of the Farm.

Each of them are different and yet they are all similar in several aspects. At the Ferme Saint Simeon, the rooms have been designed for your tranquility. High quality and warm materials, oak parquet flooring, old woodwork, sumptuous fabrics and a peaceful tone of grey... or fine amber marble that adorns the spacious bathrooms (some of them are equipped with steam shower and balneo bathtub). Here, in all our rooms wether standard, superior, luxury or suites, you will find the same intimate cocoon, enhanced by airy mansard architecture.

Gastronomic restaurant and the bistro "La Boucane"

In a decor that exudes absolute charm, between the old floor tiles, fireplace and view over the estuary or Pigeonnier, you can delight in all the treasures of the region at the gastronomic restaurant. Local and seasonal produce reinvented with respect by the chef. Sole with Bordier seaweed butter, lamb with hazelnut crust... or a revised version of the Tarte Tatin, with its 18 years of age Calvados sorbet.

The bistro "La Boucane", housed in a historic thatched-roof building, unveils a refined blend of modern style and traditional materials. The restaurant is laid out around a wood-fired oven directly open to the dining space. Its "à la carte" menu is based on local and organic products, with a focus on fish and seafood.

SPA - Under renovation until the end of 2023

In the fashion of the impressionists who came here to capture the light, we have selected for you a palette of beauty treatments inspired by Mother Nature. Poppies, raspberries and honey will awaken your senses throughout the seasons, illustrating the feeling of calmness and well-being that we cherish at the Ferme Saint Simeon. Our organic and seasonal care include a signature body treatment using apples, a reminder of our establishment's bond to the Pays d'Auge, a land bathed by the changing and invigorating light of the esturay. The aquatic area is under renovation until the end of 2023, but Lucille and her team, will welcome you in the gardens and in a specially dedicated treatment room.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
