The House at Hautefage

In the heart of France's epicentre of food and wine, nestled between two medieval villages, a 19th century farmhouse has been restored to award winning magnificence. Original beams and floors of old wood and terracotta meet specially sourced design classics and bespoke furnishings behind the shutters and thick stone walls of The House at.. Hautefage.

This guesthouse, in the heart of the French countryside, is a delicious mix of old French farmhouse, vintage style and modern interiors. Not surprisingly The House... at is a popular location for film and photographic shoots and was awarded wallpaper* magazines's Best Rural Retreat in 2006.

The House At, as it’s known, is the work of interiors and furniture designer Jason Maclean and his business partner Amanda Gillis, of London deli and restaurant Villandry. The pair discovered a ramshackle French farmhouse in Lot-et-Garonne three years ago and decided to create somewhere simple that they could enjoy themselves and let to friends. And while the final work is an exercise in restraint, it is clear that Maclean and Gillis quickly developed bigger ambitions. [wallpaper*]
