Three homes designed to feel like your own, steps from the ferry, the beach and the town centre. For a weekend by the Channel or a working week — you're expected.
Each of my apartments is renovated, equipped and kept with care. Linen provided, coffee on the house, tips tucked into the welcome book — as if you were arriving at a friend's.
Carefully renovated, bright and central — the highest-rated home in the collection, steps from the Citadelle.
Spacious and warm, renovated in 2022, ideal for a family or a getaway with friends on the Côte d'Opale.
Cosy and well thought-out, a few steps from the heart of Calais. The perfect base for a getaway for two or a solo trip.
Calais Nord, a peaceful district bordered by the Citadelle and the port. A location chosen for its light, its calm, and everything it puts within walking distance.
Whether you arrive on the early Dover ferry or step off the Eurotunnel, you're settled in within minutes. And come evening, Calais beach or the cliffs of Cap Blanc-Nez are a short stroll away.
No middleman, no commission. Just you, me, and a stay tailored to you. Here's what I offer when you book through this site rather than the platforms.
No Airbnb or Booking commission. The saving goes back in your pocket, or turns into little extras during your stay.
A direct line, replies within minutes. For a question, a change, or simply a good food tip.
Clear terms, no small print. Free cancellation up to 7 days before arrival on most stays.
Late check-out on the house, for direct guests only.
312 verified reviews on Airbnb & Booking. A few words gathered over the stays, shared here as they were written.
Attention to every detail — from the coffee left on the table to the little handwritten card with the best addresses. You really feel at someone's home.
Perfect stop before the ferry to Dover. Spotless, warm, and Mathilde even left us biscuits. Better than any hotel we've tried in Calais.
Quiet, bright, perfectly placed between the beach and the centre. We'll be back without hesitation — and next time we'll book direct!

A Calais native through and through, I renovated my three homes wanting to make them gentle, simple, well-equipped retreats. I love it when my guests feel settled — whether they're crossing the Channel the next day or staying a week to explore the coast.
