Left speechless by the heart-warming feeling and beauty. Enjoyed the stay with every one of my senses. Felt like I’d been there before and definitely going to return…” Guest comment.

Everything about The Guest House at The Hamlet is authentic, welcoming and comfortable. Guests find the vast centuries old property which offers privacy, relaxing décor and the presence of nature and animals, very inspiring. As Suska says “This isn’t a ‘typical’ holiday home. A luxury anything. A trendy anything. A standard anything. Anything that isn’t good for you”. All the food is either from the garden or local. The accommodation is all about comfort and soothing the senses.

The several centuries old, beautifully restored and renovated, five-bedroom house can accommodate 15 guests. There’s a natural pool, cosy sauna in a barrel and terraces to enjoy outdoor dining in the sunny garden which is surrounded by 30 acres of wild nature and greenery. It’s a nature lover’s paradise. There’s even a huge barn with an open kitchen and the most incredible views over the countryside. Go self catered or all inclusive. Find out more at www.thehappyhamlet

It’s also a fabulous place for a wedding. An enchanting setting, indoor and outdoor facilities, accommodation and bespoke services.

There’s a positive energy at this place and you’ll leave a little of your soul behind…

Joie de Vivre retreats in France

Scenes from the Happy Hamlet retreat in France

It is the combination of the French “joie de vivre” or joy of life, locally sourced fresh food and wines, hectares of surrounding nature and the intimate ambiance that attracts so many and makes guests want to return. They often say it is the only holiday they have taken where they are free from decision-making, budget counting or stressing about schedules.

The stay includes a lot more than just themed activities. You’ll also get to discover the culture of this unspoiled region. You’ll visit historic towns and medieval villages, gorgeous street markets and vineyards. The atmosphere is relaxed allowing you to disconnect from daily routines and stresses. You’re free to choose to relax in a hammock in the tranquil garden, relax in the sauna or take a dip in the natural swimming pool, read a book or take a nap or to explore the region.

Once you arrive you never ever want to leave! The most beautiful place, the most warm hearted and kind hostess, the most caring service, the most delicious food… I still miss those tomatoes from the farm! French farmhouse living at its best. Bisous to Suska, I will be back!” Guest comment
