Hi, I’m Asti—a breathwork coach, holistic therapist, and friendly host here at Rural Escapes. My journey began as a hairstylist, helping people look good on the outside, but over time I felt called to support others in feeling truly good on the inside too. That’s what inspired me to create this cosy retreat space in rural France—a place where you can slow down, reconnect, and simply be yourself. I’m passionate about creating a welcoming, down-to-earth environment where everyone feels at home. Whether you’re here for relaxation, a wellbeing retreat, or just a restful break in the countryside, I’m always happy to share local tips, offer a friendly chat, or help you discover ways to unwind and recharge. If you fancy a wellbeing treatment or want to know more about breathwork, just ask! I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I enjoy sharing this little slice of simple, soulful living.

Nestled in the heart of Fontaine L’Etalon, our converted stable sits within a vibrant, working farm village where life moves at a gentle pace. Wake up to the sights and sounds of free-roaming ducks and chickens, and spot cows, goats, and sheep grazing in the fields nearby. This is a place where neighbours still wave hello, local farmers share stories, and there’s a genuine spirit of community.Here, you’ll experience the simple life—fresh country air, peaceful mornings, and the authentic rhythms of rural France. Whether you’re strolling through the village, enjoying the company of friendly animals, or joining a local gathering, you’ll feel welcomed as part of the community. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, reconnect with nature, and savour the charm of true countryside living.
