An absolutely perfect spot from which to explore if you wish, stay there and surround yourself with natural beauty if you prefer a low key vacation. Madame Dominique’s mile and manner are among the best. We loved every minute.

Madame Cordesse and her lovely homes were more than I could imagine. We loved our stay and the quiet neighborhood. I felt as if I lived there, it was wonderful!

Lovely and Beautiful Stay

Our week with Madame staying in her lovely backyard cottage was our favorite stay during our 3 weeks in Europe! The cottage is lovely and well appointed, close to the fantastic metro, and Madame shared her expert knowledge of Paris and her neighborhood. Beautiful!

Lovely garden cottage

We loved the quiet neighborhood with easy access to the train and all of Paris. Dominique is a lovely, interesting, and thoughtful host. She provided us with all the information we needed to find our way. We hope to visit again!

Wonderful Stay in the Maison du Jardin

The Garden House was perfect for our recent stay in the Paris area. It was a great location and more than met all our needs. Mme. Cordesse was also an incredibly cordial and gracious host. We would definitely consider staying there again whenever in the Paris region. Peter & Deb

A Cozy Parisian Escape: Charming Cottage Stay in Malakoff

In May, we had the pleasure of staying at Dominique’s charming cottage—a perfectly cozy retreat for our party of two. The lush garden became our little sanctuary, ideal for savoring a morning coffee or simply soaking up the warm sunlight. Malakoff itself was a delightful surprise—vibrant, diverse, and navigable, with friendly locals who made us feel welcome. The town had everything we needed, from restaurants and boulangeries to grocery stores and banks. It was refreshing to be just outside the bustling heart of Paris, offering a peaceful escape from the tourist crowds while still remaining connected. The cottage was conveniently located—a five-minute walk to bus stops leading into the city and only twenty minutes from the main train station. Dominique was a fantastic host, offering great restaurant recommendations and even helping us track down a store in Paris for specialty plates. If you're looking for a comfortable, well-situated stay, I highly recommend this lovely home.

Perfect, peaceful and beautiful

This place is not in the city heart but that made it even better. Woke up in the mornings and all you could hear was birds and all you smelled was the wysteria. Market, cafes and restaurant all within a couple of blocks as was mass transportation. Dominique was absolutely lovely. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful!!!

Loved our stay at Dominique’s cottage. Everything was perfect. Very clean. A nice welcome basket. Decorated beautifully with original artwork. Enough space for three adults. You do have to walk through the owners home to get to your cottage. It wasn’t a problem. It was nice to see Dominique and chat with her. We are ready to book another stay here.

Our favorite stay!

From the moment we were greeted by Dominique, through the entire stay, we felt right at home. Dominique was so welcoming and she took the time to orient us with the area. She was a wealth of information and always so gracious. The m guest house is very comfortable. She has everything you could ever need. The garden is so beautiful and well manicured. The area is safe and it was great to get a true experience of how life would be to live in Paris. A quick Metro ride to the center of Paris.We truly enjoyed our stay and will be back next time we are in Paris.

Excellent accommodation

My husband and I spent a week in Dominique’s lovely garden house, which was immaculately clean, spacious, quiet and very comfortable with a well-appointed kitchen. The garden is truly an oasis. The AC was appreciated during a few hot days in Paris. Having a washer was a bonus, and the drying racks provided were handy. Dominique was very responsive to communications, very welcoming and provided lots of information on using public transit, etc. We arrived at Gare du Nord and took a taxi to her home, which I highly recommend unless you are familiar with the Paris transit systems. Cost was about 45 euros. Well worth it! There aren’t many restaurants nearby, but there are a Monoprix and a farmers market (Wed, Sat, Sun) very close by. Access to public transit is good, but note it is a ten or fifteen walk to the nearest bus, metro or tram. Once getting acquainted with the various transit options, getting around Paris and surrounding areas was quite easy. We’re both in our mid-70s and managed just fine. We highly recommend Dominique’s for your stay.

Beautiful cottage close to metro

We had a wonderful time. The cottage was close to the metro which was convenient for many attractions. Madame Dominique Cordesse was always there with a smile offering suggestions for the day. The breakfast was wonderful and thoughtful (breads, jellies, milk, juice, fruit). Everything you would need before you start your day. One note, the cottage entrance is through the main house. Not a negative but good to know.

We are so love this house and Dominique. She is so kind. She has prepared many fruits and eggs also breads for our breakfast we did not expect. On the strike day, she dropped off us to the location we had to go. The house is clean and decorated very pretty. We definitely come back if we come back to Paris again. Thank you very much!

Lovely

Dominique is a wonderful hostess and very accommodating. We are very grateful for the food she provided for us. We were looking forward to the quiet neighbourhood but there was a loud machine going all day next door and was still going at 7pm on Saturday night - not sure if it's temporary as previous guests haven't mentioned it. Other than that 10/10!

Could not have been better!

We were welcomed by our gracious hostess with a smile and offer of assistance getting into our cottage. She provided information about the neighborhood, restaurants/cafes nearby, the Metro (very important!) and grocery shopping. She was delightful and interested in what we were doing on our trip and what she might do to make our stay more comfortable. The cottage was clean, had everything we needed and more (starters for breakfast!) and a beautiful garden setting. Her appreciation of art, traditional and contemporary, was a bonus and encouraged us to see more than we might have otherwise. We sincerely hope to revisit Dominque and the cottage again!

Beautiful garden studio

My husband, our 18 year old son, and I stayed in the garden studio during our time in Paris. The studio had everything we could need and was impeccably clean. Madam Dominique was a delightful host. Guests should be aware that to access the studio you will need to walk through madam’s home. It was a joy to be greeted by her as we left for the day or came home in the evening. The studio is incredibly safe. It is a little was to public transportation- perhaps 10 mins. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet place to stay.

Lovely garden cottage in Malakoff

My wife and I recently enjoyed a 2-week stay in this charming rental property in Malakoff, just outside of Paris, very close to the 14th arrondissement. The apartment is actually a separate, independent cottage situated in a garden behind the house of the property owner, Madame Dominique Cordesse, on the rue Vincent Moris. We could not have imagined a more idyllic, peaceful and relaxing setting. Each morning we were greeted by the fragrant aroma of the roses and jasmine that surround the cottage, and by the melodic chirping of songbirds. The cottage itself is very clean, nicely furnished and equipped with all the modern amenities. In order to enter or exit the cottage from the street, it is necessary to pass through the property owner’s home, but we did not consider this to be an inconvenience at all. The owner/hostess is a gracious, kind and fascinating woman whom we came to admire and adore during our brief stay, and we look forward to a return visit someday. À la prochaine, Dominique!

Gelungene Reise !

Die Vermieterin war sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und war immer ansprechbar. Das Gartenhaus entsprach der Beschreibung. Der Kühlschrank war bei der Ankunft für das Frühstück der 7 Tage gut gefüllt. Alles war vorhanden. Das Objekt liegt etwas außerhalb des Stadtzentrums, ist aber gut mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln zu erreichen (10 Minuten Fußweg bis zur Metrostation). Gerne kommen wir wieder. Eine gelungene Reise.
