10/10

"We stayed for a week with Theo and Ellen at their beautiful domain in the Jardin cottage. Actually, we'd prefer to write a negative review to prevent everyone from coming here, because what an amazing place this is. The cottage has a beautiful view over the valley and stayed nicely cool during the warm days. The boys had a great time in the pool, played tennis and especially cuddled with the dogs every day. We cycled in the area, visited villages and caves and enjoyed the delicious French food. Theo and Ellen are very pleasant hosts: always up for a chat and full of tips about the area. We'll definitely come back!"

ABOUT US

We embarked on a life-changing adventure in 2008, leaving the Netherlands with our children to create something special at Domaine de Montsalvy. What began as our gîte business in the peaceful French countryside has evolved into our passion for sharing transformative wellness experiences with you and other guests seeking renewal and connection.

That's the short version of the story. If you really want to find out more, we highly recommend Ellen's book to get the full backstory.
