Description
This place dates back to 1600s, the house is of spacious proportions and with historic character . The setting is very peaceful and relaxed; There are many walks through the woods, open fields and villages directly from the property and cycling routes of various difficulties. The surrounding area is hills and valleys and very beautiful with almost no traffic at anytime of year. The air here feels deliciously clean :-) scented with wild flowers in spring and summer . I’d say It’s nature lovers paradise .
Yoga and meditation sessions are available if there is an interest. In the house there are four large bedrooms all en suite , a spacious kitchen/diner and a separate salon. Help I need is: house cleaning/organising, gardening, painting. Preferably a French speaker and well organised.
There are two cats and a dog and the food is vegetarian.

Calmness, nature, creativity, (spiritual) growth, curiosity, friendship, delicious meals, connecting; those are the words that pop up if i think about my stay at Les Buis.

Instead of the planned 2 weeks, I stayed for about 6… read more
