The property sits in a green valley, surrounded by open countryside, mature trees, and wide skies.

It’s a deeply calming setting — perfect for rest, reflection, and feeling closer to nature. Perfect for solo female travelers who want more relaxing type of holiday.

Guest review
Eileen Mc Donald, UK. June 2025
“A Wonderful Solo Retreat in the French Countryside.
I stayed with Tracey at ‘Just Be Holidays’ in June 2025 as a solo traveller, and it was everything I hoped for and more. A beautiful farmhouse—perfect for anyone looking to unwind, recharge, and enjoy a slower pace. You can spend your day doing as much or as little as you like.
The experience offered a lovely balance of relaxation. Every day brought something new to enjoy, yet I never felt rushed—just gently immersed in the local culture and landscape.
My accommodation was immaculate—clean, comfortable, and ideally suited to the calm, restorative vibe of the retreat. What truly made the trip memorable was Tracey, the host. She was warm, kind, and genuinely welcoming. Her attention to detail and personal touch made everything feel easy and enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble for Tracey.
If you’re a woman looking for a peaceful solo getaway, I highly recommend Just Be Holidays. It's a nurturing and inspiring escape in a beautiful part of France. I shall return!”
