Home From Home

Nestled around a spacious, secluded courtyard, Maison Les Buis radiates calm and privacy. The main house opens into a bright, airy kitchen and a welcoming salon. There are three large bedrooms available for guests, two of which have direct access to the garden.

Each bedroom is a quiet retreat, thoughtfully furnished with a cosy double bed, its own bathroom and a desk for reflection or work. Simple, beautiful interiors with limewashed walls in soft Ocres de France tones invite pause and presence. All rooms are on the ground floor, making the house accessible and comfortable for everyone, including guests with mobility needs.

Life here is simple, relaxed, and shared. Guests cater for themselves in the large, fully equipped kitchen and dining room, with space for personal groceries. Weekly trips into town, a nearby village shop, and our supportive approach help daily life flow naturally, leaving time and energy for creativity and connection. Your Residency is exactly that: self-directed, spacious, and designed for people who are comfortable working independently and shaping their own days. This is a place to create your own world for a while, to follow your curiosity, set your own pace, and let the residency unfold in a way that feels true to you.

The house and grounds are designed to nurture artistic practice and imaginative exploration. A light-filled painter’s studio with ample wall space and worktables, a flexible semi-open workshop, and a dedicated yoga and meditation room provide versatile spaces for making, moving, and reflecting. The gardens, with hammocks, open lawns, and pergolas, offer quiet corners to wander, read, sketch, or simply breathe. Tools and materials – from hand tools and sewing machines to paints and brushes – are available, so you can dive straight into projects without fuss.

Alongside focused creative time, there’s room for ease and enjoyment: morning yoga, spontaneous games of table tennis, pétanque, croquet or badminton, and the simple pleasure of laughing, and sharing time together. These moments are part of residency life too, offering balance, connection, and a sense of play that gently supports the work you come here to do.
