Iulia and Alistair
We are Iulia, a Romanian advertising executive and writer, and Alistair, an Englishman from the North East and retail designer. We left our busy London lives behind in November 2017, when we purchased Maison de la rivière, a property we both fell in love with at first sight. We brought our cat, Heathcliff, along from London and we acquired Filou, our béarnaise mountain dog wolfhound cross, at a car-boot sale in April 2017, as you do in France. You can read more about our adventures (of which there are not few) on our blog. We love nature, long walks, animals, fishing, yoga, writing and cycling.
We have, since then, lovingly renovated the old farmhouse into the beautiful and welcoming space that it is today. Our vision for Maison de la rivière is for it to be a oasis of calm and tranquility, where you can reconnect with yourself and replenish your energy. We want to offer you the privacy you need, but we are always on site with help and suggestions if required.
