Descrição
In the Auvergne (Allier, heart of France) in the middle of the French countryside you'll find our rustic farmhouse Brénazet (1850) near the village Vernusse. Situated on a small hill it offers a beautiful view over fields and forests. We are at the end of a small road, so no trafic. The Allier is a beautiful area to discover. You'll be part of our family and share all the meals with us.
We are a Dutch family: Ron (1960), Mariken (1962), Zeljko (1966), Nikola (1995), Lily (1996) and Igor (1998) and Soham (2022), Nikola and Lily's daughter. We have two dogs: Elza and Nanook and 7 pony's (Welsh), 6 cats and chickens.

You 'll be part of our family and have all the meals with us. Mariken is a good cook and she cooks vegetarian or vegan and occasionally some meat. We appreciate also to try your cooking! You can join for mediation in the morning. Mariken and Nikola are teaching yoga in the summer season. We usually have a muesli with homemade yoghurt and fruits for breakfast and start working. There are bikes for you and wifi is available. On Sundays you are always off and we sometimes go out, this is an occasion for you to see the surroundings. If you come in the summer we'll always try that you can go once on a canoe trip with Ron. If you would like to give us a helping hand and stay in a beautiful place in the middle of France, a small paradise where you'll find hospitality, health care, natural food, yoga and all sorts of exercise in the open air : you are very welcome!
