Company info

Paul et Alain bought Villa Limonade in 2022 and have brought their own distinctive style to the property. Paul is a seasoned cook and offers Table d'hote by arrangement. The property was constructed in 1880 by a carpenter as a family home and his workshop and at the start of the 1900's it was acquired and converted to a lemonade factory , hence the name Villa Limonade. The property had a major conversion into a Chambre D'Hote just over 10 years ago but each year we upgrade and renovate rooms to ensure that standards are at their highest. The renovation retained many of the house's old features whilst adding in the modern facilities such as en-suites and air conditioning that make your stay as comfortable as possible. The property has a swimming pool and a Jacuzzi
