Escape. Unwind.
Just be
Relax in the beautiful, French countryside with
good food, gentle company and no schedules.
A Sanctuary for Women Travelling Alone
Natural Comfort, Gentle Company and Quiet Beauty
A week in rural France created for women who crave rest, ease and company without pressure.
Three guests only
Everything cared for
Nothing to prove
Slow Days. Honest Connection. The Freedom to Do Nothing.
Here, time stretches. Mornings begin with coffee in the garden, afternoons drift by the stream, evenings unfold around the table with good food and easy laughter.
There’s no program to follow — just space to breathe, eat well and let your body and mind slow to a gentler rhythm. You’ll have your own private room and as much quiet as you need, but never feel alone.
Quiet beauty in Rural France
Where Simplicity Feels Like Luxury.
Tucked away in a peaceful Breton valley, Just Be sits within two acres of trees, meadow and land gently shaped into open parkland.
It’s not manicured — it’s nature, contained and cared for, alive with birdsong and soft light.
The house itself blends rustic warmth with modern ease: oak beams, stone walls, underfloor heating and generous showers. Every space invites calm — a quiet balance of comfort and authenticity.
Food with Heart
Shared Meals, Simple Pleasures.
Meals are freshly prepared each day from seasonal Breton produce — generous, nutritious and full of flavour.
Breakfast is slow and easy, lunch is light and relaxed and dinner brings us together around one table with wine, laughter, and the comfort of being among women who understand the need to pause.
Come Alone. Leave Rested, Seen and Reconnected.
Many guests arrive unsure — about travelling alone, or about where they are in life.
But within days, something shifts. The quiet, the company and the care of this place help you remember what ease feels like.
You’ll find that solitude here isn’t lonely — it’s restorative.
Hospitality with Soul
After decades in the creative world and years spent exploring Asia, I came to understand that real peace lives in simplicity — in being well-fed, well-rested and gently seen.
I restored this old farmhouse with that idea in mind: a place where women can stop striving, breathe deeply and feel held by both nature and kindness.
Each week I welcome just three guests, and together we share what’s rare — time, stillness and genuine connection
