The Artist & The Muse

…one of you comes to make… the other comes to inspire.

You have a project that needs a week of quiet. They have been meaning to slow down for months. The Artist & The Muse is one stay that holds both: a working residency for you, and a soft country holiday for your favourite person, under the same roof and around the same table.

Days apart, evenings together. Here is what each of you gets.

A studio day, every day
01 · For the artist

A studio day, every day

Coffee in hand, you close the studio door on 230m² of instruments, easels and workbenches. Your muse takes their cup to the swing seat under the trees, with a book and no plans. By ten o'clock you're both exactly where you want to be.

The river, the bikes and the vineyards
02 · For the muse

The river, the bikes and the vineyards

A canoe on the Yonne, a nap on the bank, an electric bike to the vineyards of Joigny. The valley fills the day without asking anything of it, and the dog will happily supervise.

The sauna at the end of the day
03 · For you both

The sauna at the end of the day

Bay windows over the valley, a cold outdoor shower, and the day's work behind you. This is where the two halves of the day become one evening.

Dinner at the table d'hôtes
04 · Every evening

Dinner at the table d'hôtes

Vegetarian, local and cooked for you. Afterwards there's the open fire, the billiard table and the record collection. Nobody checks the time.

What our guests say

We loved the quality artistic and musical atmosphere and the charm of the vintage furnishings… The vegetarian table d'hôtes was exceptional: dishes full of freshness, made with local produce.

Catherine, BelgiumBooking.com · 9/10 · translated

In the rooms there are old gramophones from the 70s and records from this period. An indescribable experience. But if you are looking for a TV, forget it. That is the biggest advantage.

Stanislav, AustriaBooking.com · 10/10

This is not just a rental, it is a real home filled with soul. Every corner has been designed with care, and the energy of the space is so welcoming and calm.
