Bon Voyage! Travel to the South of France for a seven day stay at Maison Rose, a 400-year-old rowhouse in St-Jean-de-Cole, a village of 150 inhabitants in the Dordogne region of southwest France. The beautifully restored three-bedroom home is furnished with French country antiques and has exposed beams, 17th–century floor tiles, and windows with interior wooden shutters. There are three working fireplaces (including one in the master bedroom), a rose-covered terrace, and a garden of yew and box bushes with an oval reflecting pool. Each of the three bedrooms has an ensuite bathroom. The master bedroom has a queen-sized bed, and the other two have twins, for a sleeping capacity of six.
St-Jean-de-Cole is designated one of the 144 Most Beautiful Villages in France. It sits in a wooded valley with the Cole River running through its center and is architecturally distinguished by four Historic Monuments—a 12th-century abbey, 13th-century chateau, and medieval bridge and market hall. Commerce includes a small grocery, pharmacy, and three restaurants. There are also tennis courts and a 20-mile-long rails-to-trails path for biking and hiking.
The Dordogne has been named by Harpers Hideaway Report (the bible for travel professionals) as one of the 15 best travel destinations in the world, along with the Cotswolds, Tuscany and Provence.
Raffle chances go on sale this Friday, January 17 for $100 each. Only 150 chances will be sold and this is sure to sell out. Drawing at Raisin' the Rent, Mellwood Art Center on March 7, 2020 at 8:30 p.m. Need not be present to win.
