It has the little touches which really make it a gem that our guests love. Luxury Egyptian cotton towels, soft touch bedding, Dormeo king size memory foam mattress, feather cushions and more... so you feel at home.

About the host

Your host

We are a retired fireman and nurse from the U.K. now renovating our country home. We also have a Weimaraner named Luna. We have lived in France since the end of 2019 and love it here.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a property with character and potential, but importantly not out in the countryside miles away from anything. We were in the right place at the right time when this came up, and feel so lucky to have it! Property in the centre of villages and towns here are highly desired, for obvious reasons. The garden is great for relaxing and enjoying the weather, birdsong and a glass of wine. The village square is also so close, we no longer need to get into the car on a daily basis!
