Le clos – atelier
This is the most intimate of our guest houses — and the one with a contemporary mosaic bathroom inspired by drawings by Hokusai.
The bedroom is set within the studio, beneath large glazed roof panels overlooking the surrounding hillside. Even while resting, it is easy to imagine the mind finding its way towards creativity here…
Silence, light, generous volumes, natural materials and simple comfort all come together here, bringing old and new into harmony, creating a sense that time has slowed down and opening the door to an imaginary world.
The studio-bedroom is spacious and filled with natural light. It is well suited to all kinds of artist residencies.
2–3 guests*
1 double bed – 140 cm
1 single sofa bed – 90 cm
*For more than two guests, an additional linen fee of €20 per person applies for the entire stay.

Facilities:
A shared laundry room is available with full cleaning equipment, as well as a washing machine, tumble dryer, ironing board and iron.
We ask guests to remain fully independent in their living and studio spaces and to leave them as they found them.
