This is definitely the place to be: Laurence describes her home as “a fertile house open to the sharing of communal living.”
A stay at La Belle Étoile is an invitation to take your time... Discover the scent trail, stroll through the garden, enjoy a homemade breakfast with a view of the Arènes valley, taste local products, meet creators and producers, play the piano, get a massage, book a dinner around the family table...
In short, La Belle Étoile is much more than a guesthouse; it's a place for living, sharing, exchanging and conviviality that we really recommend discovering.
