About the host
Hosted by Renee Mackay
Hello, I'm Renee and I'm very pleased to meet you.
I moved to Fon du Bourg in August 2022. Before that was living in my native Edinburgh but dreaming of my new life in France.
My brother has been here for more than forty years and my french family has been growing over recent years and I wanted to be closer to them. My husband's (Richard) daughter moved to Paris a couple of years ago, too.
To be entirely honest with you, although we looked at more properties after seeing Fon du Bourg there was really no point - I fell in love with the place within about fifteen seconds... not very logical for an ex-accountant, I know, but I couldn't help myself. And it was the first property we saw!
I can honestly say without a word of a lie that I really am now living my dream life. Don't get me wrong, it's hard work - there's only two of us with two acres of garden and three pools to look after as well as the three properties and we're learning all the time but there's just something about this place that calms the soul.
I do pinch myself fairly regularly to make sure I'm still in the real world - which so far has been the case.
Our move from Edinburgh in July of 2022 was a huge step. We sold our business in May, booked our visa appointment and moved less than two months later. We ran our business for twelve years and we loved it. It was very hard work, though and we knew that we had a limited amount of shelf life. The sale went through at the perfect time for us.
I have to say Richard is not the most practical of people but he's learning every day - both how to decorate and to speak french.
Me?
I'm learning about the garden and to speak french, too!
So, that's me in a nutshell. Life here is wonderful - come and stay with us and you may just find your little corner of Heaven on Earth too!

Why they chose this property
Our Chai is a lovely and unusual property.
Originally a farm workers cottage it's where the farmer dried his prunes - and when you come to visit you'll get to know how important prunes are around here.
The Chai can be configured with a double and two twin rooms or two doubles and a twin - just let us know what works for you.
The large lounge, separate accommodation 'wing' and outside terrace with soft seating and dining table give you loads of options for how you want to use the property.
And then there's the swimming pool. We call it the 'upper pool'. With beautiful wide ranging views and a lovely 13 metre by 6 metre pool there's ample space for you and the guests from the Farmhouse. With separate sun bathing areas you can be as private as you like.
And there's a loo and fridge - so once you are at the south facing pool there's just no need to leave until it's time for an aperitif!
