Appréciations pour Les Deux Saints Jean, Melleroy:
Inviting, artistic atmosphere in natural surroundings
Katia creates a dramatic, warm home where all corners offer a delight to the eye. Deep maroons, magentas and violets, filtered sunlight falling on antique objects, Russian folks style painted detail on fireplace and doors, candlelight even at breakfast. Alain's icons and other paintings are beautiful and excellently crafted. Ask to see his book explaining the icon technique - it also is beautifully designed and precise in its explanation. Because it is such a beautiful and welcoming environment, we have stayed here two times when traveling to the Dordogne, even though it is out of our way - and we will continue to so on all future trips. Not only are dinner and breakfast oh, so tasty and generous in servings, both are beautifully set out; picture perfect for the best of any interior magazine. Garden and house are exquisite, and the warm and friendly atmosphere completes the experience. Don't miss seeing Museum La Fabuloserie nearby!
Response from property:
Thank you so much Katy and Ben! so sensible and warm persons!
maison d'hôtes délicieuse
Katia et Alain nous accueillent chaleureusement dans une maison au charme unique... Un havre de paix! Les chambres sont très joliment décorées, tenues avec beaucoup de soin et d'amour. Il règne une atmosphère de calme et d'harmonie (merveilleux pour un bon break avec le quotidien!) et on peut se prélasser dans un ravissant jardin en attendant un dîner en amoureux préparé avec grâce par Katia. Une vraie rencontre! On y est allé déjà 2 fois et compte bien y retourner! Pour les amateurs de belles choses, faut savoir qu'on peut admirer des icônes peintes par le maître de maison himself, superbe.
