A real silkworm farm lovingly restored by two Franco-Australian artists, in the small village of Navacelles, between Provence and Cévennes, in Occitania.
The house is an old stone silkworm farm, which had been abandoned for 19 years until your hosts fell in love with it and the renovation began in September 2016.
As much as possible, the old features have been retained, including the magnificent 'voutins', a succession of vaulted ceilings throughout the house. The spaces were completely opened up with large exposed steel beams and a new polished concrete floor was poured, giving the old farmhouse a whole new life.
The ground floor is now a fully open plan kitchen, living and dining room. The large kitchen workbench lends itself to gourmet cooking and the long table and benches provide the perfect setting to enjoy the table d'hôtes option. The kitchen opens onto a large back patio perfect for breakfast in the morning sun.
The living room is bathed in light with three French doors opening onto the west-facing front terrace, where you can enjoy a drink while watching the sunset before dinner.
