Le Petit Chateau
A pool of natural light aboveThe Old Stables
Above the old stables and over the nave of the small 17th century chapel, once stood the studio of an architect that owned Belebat following the revolution.
Now, after a long renovation, those neglected rooms have been transformed into a stunning two bedroom apartment. Open, bright and tasteful, with its four-meters high ceilings, the spaces in the Petit Chateau are nothing but an invitation to wind down and decompress.

Le Barn

Built in 1626, this small barn was mainly used to store hay and grain to feed the animals, but it was within its stone walls the stableman also found his bed at the end of the long day. Almost 400 years later, after a complete renovation, Le Barn houses, once again, a bed to envelope someone’s dreams.

guest book
“This is the best Airbnb that I have stayed in by a country mile. Utterly charming hosts in a glorious location with endless, wonderful things to go and do. That’s if you can get out of the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. Everything is thought of, the house is brilliantly designed, and it was almost impossible to leave. Cannot recommend it high enough. Sublime.”
“Where to even begin! This has been BY FAR, the best travel accommodation experience we have ever had! Oscar, Jeff, and family were so kind and thoughtful. We were already excited about this place prior to arriving, but as we arrived, we were met with excitement, joy, and most importantly; love. The thoughtfulness and attention to detail rival that of the best hotels in Paris. I have already told 100’s of friends about the space and will continue to do so as I reminisce about this incredible experience. The bed is perfect and the kitchen is exactly what you want it to be. I can not wait to come back and I can not wait to see the growth of the estate. More people need to stay here to Oscar, Jeff, and family can achieve their dream sooner!!”
