The gardens alone are worth the detour: trees and greenery galore, riots of roses, all flourishing in a huge many-terraced park by a river. The 18th-century farmhouse harbours a fine collection of antiques – one of Isabelle’s passions – tastefully set off by lush indoor greenery and lovely old carpets on ancient tile floors. Softly old-elegant rooms have hand-embroidered fabrics and genuine old linens, including Provençal quilts – exquisite – with splashes of red, orange and beige against white backgrounds. Themed weekends, too (cookery, wine, embroidery), and a warm, gracious welcome from Isabelle and her family.
We had a lovely stay in this large, comfortable and beautifully decorated farm house set in a spectacular garden. Surrounded by the most profusely blooming roses, we couldn’t stop taking photographs as we walked to our car each day. Isabelle is a very thoughtful and welcoming hostess and we appreciated her warmth and good advice, along with the delicious breakfasts, the covered parking and our spacious bedroom with its well equipped kichenette.
