Le Moulin de las Combas | Two unique holiday homes in the Dordogne
Visited on location by Nice2stayIn the green, wooded northern part of the Dordogne, Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek and his wife have rebuilt an old watermill and adjacent barn in a special way. Just as when making his furniture with recycled material, the designer used local and available materials to construct the houses.
Completely private located in an open space in the forest, on the estate of Chateau Mavaleix, the two holiday homes (both for 8 people) are in and of nature. Although newly built and equipped with every modern comfort, they blend with the landscape and create the illusion that they have been standing here for many years. The rustic atmosphere of the modest interior with visible stone walls, wooden ceilings and concrete floors is given a unique twist by the specially made objects and furniture made from scrap wood from the designer himself.
The houses - which can be rented together or separately - are designed to unwind, ideal for a relaxing family holiday and those seeking tranquility. Start the morning with a cup of coffee on the terrace and then drive to the market for fresh local products with which cooking enthusiasts can enjoy themselves in the spacious kitchen. Children can go on an adventure in the woods or play on the grass. If it gets too hot, you can swim in a landscaped swimming channel or in the river La Valouse that flows past the garden. You can also go swimming in the swimming pool of Chateau Mavaleix, or play tennis on their tennis court (2-30 minutes' walk).
Do you want to leave? Then charming towns, local markets, and hiking trails are close by. And after spending a whole day outside, you will sleep wonderfully with the sound of the water lapping in the background. Exactly, that's living like God in France!
