A look at our rooms

A stay at Refuge Luxe means feeling at home in an exceptional setting – with the freedom to simply be.

The spacious garden, shaded by mature trees, invites you to slow down – whether on a sun lounger by the pool or a quiet deck chair tucked into the greenery.

The 5 × 11 m outdoor pool (clothing optional), with its sun terrace, comfortable loungers and parasols, offers a place to unwind throughout the day.
Shady terraces and peaceful corners create the perfect setting to relax, read, or do nothing at all.

Les propriétaires sont adorables, le gîte et les chambres sont décorées avec goût et le domaine est magnifique, au calme en pleine campagne.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The photos don’t do it justice. This is a tranquil oasis in the middle of vines with a gorgeous outlook. The hosts are nothing short of wonderful, and their taste shines through in the design of the rooms. Cumfy bed. Soft towels. Delicious breakfast. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back and stay again.
