Ou Meul
Beautifully designed and steeped in old-world charm, Ou Meul is a self-contained cottage where thick whitewashed walls, exposed beams, and terracotta floors meet quiet luxury. Wander between rose-lined paths, a sun-dappled garden, and a wood-fired oven on the patio — every corner is composed for stillness.
