If you need respite from the heat, you can retreat to the grandeur of indoors, with its elegant Provencal look and contemporary home comforts. Relax in the impressive morning room with its vaulted beamed ceilings, or in the casual lounge with its home theatre system. A farmhouse kitchen-diner is perfect for bustling, family breakfasts, while the formal dining room is ideal for sophisticated dinners. Each has been dressed with an unmistakeable French style, blending rustic, country touches with a decadent design.

Across the four-stories, you’ll also find 10 charming, designer bedrooms, finished with an array of modern en-suites and beautiful antique furniture. Offering spacious accommodation for up to 21 people, there are six doubles, three twins and a family room with a double and a single.
