Our Garden & Maison
Along the meandering Lot River and surrounded by Cahors appellation vineyards, our garden & 170-year-old home are a haven for relaxation and tranquility. The extensive grounds open to a fruit orchard and direct access to the river. A scenic walking and biking path winds its way to neighboring villages such as Saint Vincent Rive d’Olt to the east and Albas to the west.
In the town of Luzech, a short half mile walk from our retreat, a vibrant center square built upon the site of a navigational canal offers family-owned bakeries, a florist, a butcher and caterer, a pharmacy, and a busy weekly farmer’s market. In the 1950s, the owner of our home (and the village pharmacist) extended the original structure to include the beautiful guest wing. In 2019, we renovated the home, built a new wine and tasting cellar, and continue to tend the property’s lush gardens.
Our Wine Cellar
Our love of nature is inspired each day, not only by the beautiful scenery, but by the grapevines that flourish in the region. A dedicated vigneron, Lucien Dimani tends to his vines and ages his wine in our downstairs wine cellar. It’s an ideal place to learn about the winemaking process and the impact of place and savoir-faire on a wine.
