A Stone Cottage in Saint-Victor-la-Coste, France
After years spent renovating their spectacular 16th-century French château, owners Alison and Costas decided to open a series of cozy cottages within the grounds for guests. This particular cottage, the smallest, accommodates two guests and features a spacious en-suite bedroom filled with carefully curated antiques, alongside a shared kitchen and sitting room just a few steps away. The swimming pool serves as the focal point of the enchanting gardens, providing a peaceful retreat amidst the beautiful surroundings. Visitors often explore the nearby Provençal towns of Uzès and Châteauneuf-du-Pape, while Alison is frequently seen tidying the gardens, ready to offer local culinary recommendations and day-trip insights.
