Company info

We opened this apartment in January 2020 because we have long wanted to make people discover our region: its castles, gardens, vineyards and gastronomy. We like to travel but we don't like to be taken for consumer tourists. So we will be able to advise you local actors who work on a human scale and for a good value for money or give you a lot of information. We like to share.
