A Creative Retreat | Summer 2026
Stay in our beautifully rustic old French farmhouse – a sanctuary of calm and inspiration.
Looking up at the medieval clifftop village of Calvignac, the retreat offers dramatic scenery and also private access to the magnificent River Lot, a wild and winding river that has carved its way through the breathtaking Lot Valley. Here, nature shapes every moment.
We welcome only a small number of guests, creating an intimate, personal experience designed for comfort, connection, and quiet reflection. Our home reflects Jacqui’s signature style: an elegant blend of eclectic design, handcrafted details, and thoughtfully restored pieces, all inspired with creativity and mindful living.
Wake to peaceful views of Calvignac and the surrounding landscape. Spend your days relaxing in the guest lounge, discovering a quiet corner in the gardens, or unwinding by the riverbank, an idyllic setting to simply be.
experience the soul of the Lot
Discover the breathtaking scenery of the Lot region. Walk in the footsteps of pilgrims to enchanting hilltop villages rich in artistic heritage. Explore prehistoric caves with extraordinary paintings dating back nearly 29,000 years. Wander through traditional French markets filled with the finest local produce.
Each experience is an invitation to slow down, savour, and connect with the culture and landscape around you.
create, learn and be inspired
At the heart of your stay is a deeply personal creative journey. Guided by Jacqui, you’ll explore a range of up-cycling and furniture techniques – from preparation and painting to decorative finishes and specialist effects.
We also delve into the world of interior design and decoration, offering practical guidance on how to bring your DIY projects to life at home.
These sessions are relaxed, inspiring, and thoughtfully guided, leaving you with hands-on skills, creative confidence, and ideas to carry beyond your stay.
