Reviews
Bianca Perko from Landgraaf,
Our stay at maison Rouge in Lusignan-Petit was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty and tranquility of the place. The house itself is a masterpiece, adorned with stunning artwork and paintings that add a touch of elegance to every room.
The property with not one, but three spacious terraces, each offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Whether we were enjoying our morning breakfast/coffee, an afternoon siesta, or a dinner, the terraces provided the perfect setting for relaxation. The kitchen was well equiped with a toaster, combi-oven, steam-oven and Nespresso coffee machine. The bed was very comfy with nice linen and more than enough towels in the bathroom.
One of the highlights was the private swimming pool. The pool area is beautifully maintained, with comfortable loungers, outside shower and plenty of space to relax. We spent hours basking in the sun and cooling off in the water, completely undisturbed.
Privacy was paramount during our stay. The owners have gone to great lengths to ensure that the property feels secluded and peaceful. We felt as though we were in our own private house, with no disturbances and complete silence.
In summary, this luxury holiday home in Lusignan-Petit offers an exquisite blend of art, comfort, and privacy. It’s a perfect retreat for couples looking to escape the hustle of everyday life in a serene and luxurious environment. We felt sad to leave with nice memories. Highly recommended! We would love to come back. Rated: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kind regards,
