Our Story
In early 2015, we made the life changing decision to emigrate. To cut a long story short, we put our family home on the market in early spring and were in France in early summer!
We didn’t know exactly where we wanted to live. We didn’t know exactly what type of property we wanted.
After 4 months of searching, we fell in love with the Perigord & Quercy. An unplanned and improvised visit to a local estate agent later, we visited our new home for the first time. We immediately loved it. Something just clicked…
The process of closing on a property is quite slow in France. It was over 3 months before we finally got the keys! Enough time to go back to England, finish a few errands and arrange transport of our possessions!
We finally got the keys on November 21st 2015. On day one, we got to work. We already had our vision, it was just a case of implementing it. A little bit of work refreshing parts of the interior… A lot of work on the gardens outside! Read about our endeavours here.
Our Approach
What makes us unique is that we’re 100% focused on creating the best experience for our guests. When you’re here, you’re part of the family! That means that we don’t take short cuts. We only buy the best local produce. We deliberately keep our groups on the smaller side, it’s better that way. We have an intimate knowledge of the region and we’re happy to share everything with our guests.
