Property info

This Maison de Maitre was built in 1825 and originally served as a pharmacy and house of the local doctor. In 2005, it was completely restored with great attention to detail. Today it is known in the village as "Maison au pierre" because of its beautiful exterior and interior design. We have owned the house since 2008 and are continuously improving the rooms, garden and exterior to maintain the unique charm of the house. The house itself is very spacious and all rooms are larger than normal with high ceilings to maintain a comfortable temperature all year round. The hidden garden is well sheltered in this windy area and opens at the back to the park of Chateau de Luc. A large salt water pool with lounge area is open for our guests. Central heating allows us to welcome guests during autumn and winter when they can benefit from multiple open fireplaces. The house is ideal for groups of up to 8 people travelling together. A light-flooded separate seminar room with terrace can be booked upon request. We see our house as a "soul harbour" and have always welcomed friends and guests to stay with us.
