$5,500 / person
Max 7 Women
Five nights in an 18th-century stone house in the Languedoc countryside. Not a retreat with every hour planned. A retreat with space to breathe.
Bring your sketchbook, your stack of unread books, your journal. Set up an easel in the garden. Read by the intimate plunge pool. Write on the terrace overlooking medieval Montréal village. Move at your own rhythm.
Some days we'll explore together — Carcassonne's fortress walls, private antique dealers' homes in Pezanas, perhaps a market in a medieval bastide town. Other days are yours. Rest when tired. Create when inspired. Wander the property. Visit a nearby vineyard. Or simply sit with a glass of wine and good conversation.
This is what restoration looks like.
Settle into your room. Walk through Montréal's quiet medieval streets. Gather for welcome dinner at the house. Early to bed if you're tired, wine on the terrace if you're not.
Leisurely breakfast — no alarm clocks here. Then we'll visit La Cité Médiévale, one of Europe's most stunning medieval fortress cities. Walk the ramparts. Lunch together or separately, your choice. Return when you're ready.
Perhaps we'll visit Mirepoix's arcaded square on market day. Or maybe you'll spend the day at the property — reading in the garden, sketching by the pool, writing in your room. Some structure, some freedom. The rhythm will reveal itself.
Our antiques consultant takes us to Roussillon in Provence. Not to shops — to dealers' homes. Private collections. Pottery experts. Antique linen specialists. The kind of invitation-only access most people never get.
Walk into their homes. See what they've spent lifetimes collecting. Hear stories about pieces from the 1800s. Have coffee or lunch in their gardens. From rustic grain sacks and vintage tableware to rare pottery — pieces across all price ranges. Our consultant will teach you to recognize quality and coordinate international shipping for anything you love.
It's not about spending thousands. It's about the access.
Maybe we'll visit Lagrasse, a beautiful Corbières village with an ancient abbey. Maybe you'll visit a vineyard. Maybe you'll stay at the house and finally finish that book. This is your day.
Final breakfast together. Exchange information. Promise to stay in touch. Checkout at 10am, though you'll probably linger.
You'll leave restored.
Camellas-Lloret is an 18th-century stone house in Montréal, a medieval village in Languedoc. Five rooms, each with a private bath. Terraces for morning coffee. Gardens where you can set up an easel or spread out with a book.
An intimate stone plunge pool — not for laps, for lingering. Picture three or four friends, a glass of wine, cool October afternoons, unhurried conversation.
The kind of place where you finally have time to create, rest, think.
The woman who brings her sketchbook everywhere but never opens it.
The woman who buys books but has no time to read them.
The woman who dreams of painting, writing, creating — but life is too busy.
The woman who craves solitude but feels guilty wanting it.
The woman who needs permission to do nothing.
The woman who needs to restore balance.
Space to create, rest, and be content.
