About us.
About 7 km away from Vézelay, in the heart of Burgundy, France, lies the village of Montillot. In these green and peaceful surroundings we warmly welcome you to our guest house!
Our house belongs to Vézelay’s historical heritage. Renovations were therefore carried out under the strictest conditions. According to legend, it once belonged to Templars who used it as a meeting place.
Particular detail: behind our house lies the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. From here on, you can walk part of it straight to Vézelay!
In this haven of peace we have three cozy and comfortable guest rooms. Every morning, we serve a delicious and extensive breakfast.
We will gladly help you explore the region so you can fully enjoy this historic place with its world-famous basilica, the small villages, excellent wines and unspoiled nature.
We speak Dutch, French and English.
Welcome to our guest house! We hope you will enjoy your stay as much as we do.
Come visit and we will be happy to make time stand still for a while.
Kindest regards,
Luc and AnneMarie De Decker

Energetic healing
This healing is an intuitive combination of REIKI and I.E.T. (Integrated Energy Therapy).
The treatment takes place while you lay down on a massage table or when seated and you stay dressed.
You are brought in connection with the Universal Energy which leads you to profound relaxation. This state brings you healing and growth on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level.
The mind comes at ease, stress reduces, and pain is softened.
The flow of this Energy can be experienced through the fixed positions of my hands. This can be perceived in different ways, but this doesn’t interfere with the effectiveness of the healing.
If this resonates with you, feel welcome for more information.
Rate: 50 euro

Based on the insights acquired through foot reflexology, combined with an elaborate choice of biological, ethereal oils, you’re offered a massage that re-aligns you with your body.
The purpose is to have the energies flow again, so the body can release tension, both physical and emotional, in order to rediscover a harmony between body and spirit. This leads to a natural feeling of pleasure and comfort.
The massage happens in a dedicated room in our B&B. Bath robe and towels are provided.
