B&B Villa Sainte Marie
A Garden Full of Life and History
The garden at Villa Sainte Marie is far from ordinary. This land was once the vegetable and fruit garden of the Sisters of Cluny and was managed for years by the previous owner as a permaculture garden, where vegetables and fruits were grown naturally. Here, you’ll find an extensive collection of fruit trees, including apple, pear, fig, cherries, plum (such as mirabelle), medlar, and hazelnut trees. It’s the perfect spot to unwind in the shade, sample seasonal fruits, or simply enjoy the natural aromas.
Whether you choose a cozy wooden chalet or a comfortable house steeped in history, you’ll be staying in an environment that invites you to slow down, rejuvenate, and relax. Want more than just tranquility? Personal guidance sessions and day trips to unique locations in the area are also available.
Duration:
Overnight stays starting from 1 night, with optional personal guidance or day trips.
BREAKFAST:
A delicious and nutritious breakfast to start the day, featuring organic and locally sourced products such as fresh bread, yogurt, cheese, coffee, tea, and seasonal fruit from the garden. Upon arrival, the breakfast is ready in your personal fridge, allowing you to enjoy it at your own pace.
