Luxury B&B in Le Dorat, France

Quiet and Peaceful House in Le Dorat

You will find this house in the small medieval town of Le Dorat in a quiet region north of Limoges.

La Maison du Musicaïre is the private residence of the Dutch conductor Wim Baarens who left his position as artistic leader of the Netherlands Radio Chamber Orchestra 25 years ago to start a new musical life in south-western France.

Once you have passed the entrance, with its inviting heart above the doorway, carved in local granite, you are immediately struck by the overwhelming charm of the patio with its flowering wisteria and the large beautiful garden with an abundance of roses, herbs, fruit trees and variety of other plants. This completely walled garden hides several small buildings including an orangerie, a horse-stable and woodsheds. The beautiful ocre colours of the outside walls, the old round Roman tiles and the split level garden give the impression that you are on holiday in Tuscany.

The house has two big masterbedrooms en suite and a children bedroom with two single beds.
