About this property

Unique guest room in the heart of Provence: "The Secret of the Stones"

## The space

The Guiramane building, embraced by time and caressed by history, rests like a forgotten jewel on the Via Aurelia, the ancient road trodden by the footsteps of pilgrims to Saint-Jacques de Compostelle. A silent witness to bygone eras, its origins date back to the distant year of 1430, when it was generously gifted by King René to the noble knight of Guiramand. Thus, it inherited its name and its unchanging purpose: to welcome and to tell.

Nestled between the villages of Pélissanne and Eguilles, the Guiramane was, for a long time, a solitary sentinel, watching over the land and the skies with infinite patience. Its meticulously crafted stone walls, shaped with love by skilled hands, reveal the intimacy of its architecture, a harmonious marriage of the past and the present. Each stone tells a story, each arch whispers the passage of time.

For years, it remained alone, swayed by the song of the wind and the ticking of time. But destiny, the weaver of adventures, had a new chapter in store for this noble abode. In the radiant present, we, Amélie and Loïc, heirs to the soul of Guiramane, hold the keys to its future. With pride and devotion, we have embarked on the meticulous restoration of every nook and cranny, always with the sacred respect for its original integrity. Thus, the history remains intact, preserved in every stone.

Today, the Guiramane is reborn like a phoenix from its ashes, a haven of life and happiness in the peaceful countryside. Animals frolic there in a symphony of joy: pigs, sheep, goats, donkeys, rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese. They invite you, warm and curious, to join them in their lively ballet.

The timeless olive grove has adorned itself once more with its former splendor, offering a sea of silver leaves caressed by the wind. And in the tranquility of this rustic oasis, you will have the privilege to savor the very essence of the land: our olive oil, a fragrant liquid gold, the fruit of our ancestors' hard work and the diligent hands of today.

At the heart of this enchanting tableau, the guest room "The Secret of the Stones" stands as an invitation to serenity. Every wall, every nook, every ray of light has been designed to envelop you in a gentle embrace, to immerse you in the history that pulses here. It is a sanctuary of calm, a 35-square-meter refuge for souls in search of peace, a place where the past and the present merge. Our room has been carefully restored to preserve its original character while offering modern amenities for absolute comfort. You will find a king-size bed, a minibar, a bathroom with a shower and bathtub, a hairdryer, provided linens, a television, and Wi-Fi...

Every detail has been crafted with love to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that will allow you to relax from the moment you arrive.

Every morning, savor a gourmet breakfast composed of fresh local products, homemade jams, and delicious pastries.

The Guiramane building, once solitary, now vibrates in harmony with laughter, light footsteps, and the rustle of leaves. It continues to write its history, page after page, with us as passionate co-authors, revealing its timeless beauty and guarding its eternal legacy.

## Guest access

The 35 sqm room "The Secret of the Stones" has a private entrance and consists of a bedroom with a work area, a king-size bed, Wi-Fi, a minibar, a welcome basket with treats, and the bed is made upon arrival. Its spacious adjoining bathroom is bathed in natural light from a window overlooking the countryside, where you can relax in the bathtub while contemplating nature or take a soothing shower. A hairdryer is at your disposal, as well as linens and toiletries.

The garden is at your disposal, weather permitting, and if you desire, you can use the barbecue or the plancha. Hillside hikes are possible directly from your room, allowing you to explore our olive grove, and Amélie will be delighted to offer you a taste of her olive oil. The farm animals will greet you, and if you know how to listen, they will speak to you of the tranquility of the place. Your breakfast, included in the price, will be served in the garden if the weather allows.

Séjour relaxant
Joli paysage provençal, animaux et bel plantes sauvages.Et joli chambre avec bel histoire, d'un petit chapelle en campagne. En plus nous avons vu passer la patrouille de France plusieurs fois d'entraînement. Et surtout du soleil qui était présent.
