The Barn Retreat

The magic of this beautful setting where you are surrounded by trees and singing birds, is a true inspiration for all artists of all ages.

Solitude and sociality, at your discretion.

Optional activities: yoga, meditation, cycling, and visits to local villages.

Vegetarian home-cooked food, prepared by hand to each guest's preferences.

A landscape and décor designed for contemplation.

We are a vegetarian home and offer freshly prepared options each day. We love soups, salads, quiches and pasta dishes - all with that healthy home-cooked feel.
