Unforgettable experience! Relaxed, recovered, reborn. Enjoyed the six days retreat at authentic French countryside surrounded by beautiful souls, happy dogs and amazing views. And not to forget – the food was out of this world! This place will stay in my heart for life. — RIIKKA A-S

Why the Hamlet?
Our Story & Approach
We’re a Finnish+Czech – French couple, who packed their belongings from a little bit allover the place (world) and made a full stop on the sunny French countryside. Little did we know when we decided to make our new home in a centuries old hamlet, which we found mainly in ruins..
We’re easygoing but hard-working, happy and curious of life, which makes it natural to open our home to guests from all over the world.
No Need to Take Only our Word for It
Covered in & Recommended by
We are a tiny family business which is why we are hugely honored and proud to be found in many media.
From France TF1 to the French Elle, from Finnair inflight magazine to interior design journals and various travel blogs, we highly appreciate every time our little story gets shared.
Green Hamlet – a Sustainable Choice
Friends with Mother Nature
The Hamlet wouldn’t be a Happy one if it weren’t surrounded by beautiful, wild and clean nature. Anyone who has visited would surely agree that the greenery all around us has an important role in making the stay with us unique and pleasant.
