unwind
The designer owners have created a stylish, comfortable and relaxing retreat in the 17th century stone barn. Placing great value on the many charming original features, it has been lovingly restored and converted by local artisans.
Deep exposed limestone walls keep the rooms cool from the heat of the day. The use of traditional natural materials, cool colours, impressive beam work and very high ceilings, give a feeling of tranquility, spaciousness and light.
All apartments are ground floor only and have their own outside seating and dining area surrounded by lavender, rosemary and oleander.
“We found the perfect place for our honeymoon when we booked at La Maison de Maitre. An idyllic setting, with a touch of luxury – somewhere to really relax and unwind with all the finishing touches you’d see in glossy lifestyle magazines!
The welcome we received when we arrived was the perfect start to our stay and the hospitality offered throughout was fantastic. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the pool has an incredible view across the valley.
Juliet’s fresh approach to self-catering was like staying in a boutique hotel, but having the freedom to do as you pleased.” Catherine B MAY 2009
