Jakob and Cees
At B&B ´Le cuisinier en Combraille’ in Vergheas it is all about tranquility, relaxation and fabulous food. Your two hosts have created an oasis of well being and luxury, where they are ready to welcome you. You can enjoy lovely evening dinners after a stroll around the beautiful gardens with their breathtaking views. The clean air of this wild and unspoilt area of France will encourage you to let off steam by hiking or cycling on the many green lanes.
Jakob and Cees (Dutch couple) are the owners of Le cuisinier en Combraille. Starting in 2005, they made Le cuisinier into a haven of well-being in the middle of the hilly Combraille landscape. Jakob is a passionate cook (and gardener), who loves to spoil his guests. Cees takes care of the organizational side of things and sees to it, that there always plenty of wine to drink.
