The Green Escape

If you dream of waking up to coffee and a garden of greens, purples, blues, and pinks, then look no further than this captivating home in the French countryside where you can come down after a peaceful night’s sleep, brew a fresh cuppa and sit outside simply enjoying the scent in the air and the sounds of nature all around. The manicured landscape and decking is, of course, one of the standout features about this home, but inside is pretty special too. The exposed beams, as well as the feature stone wall – which perfectly matches the cladding of the facade – all serve as reminders that this is in fact a farmhouse, but the way in which it has been modernised means the similarities end there. Rustic chic and modern design decisions come together to create an atmosphere of homeliness, but with an elegant twist. Bake together in the kitchen and eat the yield around the kitchen island before it has even had a chance to cool down. Barbeque, dine alfresco, and enjoy drinks on the deck at sunset. Light the wood-burning stove for a cosy evening of board games or to watch a family movie together, and after dark, sneak back out for a bit of stargazing Home truths: *Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car – which you can park on the driveway – to get the most out of your stay *This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift, but there’s a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here for those with reduced mobility *Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free upon request *You'll find a hamper of oil, vinegar, salt and pepper, coffee capsules, tea, and herbal teas here to get you started
