La Maison des Moines

Over several centuries, our house was the home of monks and priests who played an important role in the community. Music was taught in the presbyter and the barn was used as a theatre. Locals still remember quite vividly the good times they had there. Since we purchased the Presbyter we have upgraded it to a modern, elegant house. The very large rooms with the 3,8 m high ceilings give a sense of space that not every holiday home can offer.  The pool sits right in front of the house, and together with the covered outside dining area, becomes the heart of the house very much during summertime. From the terrace, you can enjoy marvellous views and admire the splendour of the recently renovated Chateau de Theobon.

The kitchen is a chef’s dream. Starting with sharp knifes you will find a Kitchen Aid Mixer, Food processor and a professional slicing machine, just to say a few. The larder is full of essentials, and coffee capsules as well as a selection of teas await you for the morning brew. Further we welcome you with a little basket of solid and liquid goodies.

You have the exclusive use of the house, the pool and outside entertaining area. Should you want to escape the silence, there is plenty to be discovered nearby…
