At the 'Chez Ric & Fer' attic guest room in France, you can enjoy a cozy retreat. The bed and breakfast hotel is located in Coucy le Chtåeau, "one of the loveliest medieval towns in Northern France."
The owners Richard and Fernanda Gamba dreamed of a house like this and opening this bed and breakfast at their home made it a reality. The French Teppaz turntables positioned in every room reflect the couple's love for music and adds an authentic feel to the hotel. The Gambas also leave their vintage Polaroid cameras in the rooms and encourage guests to take a picture with it as a souvenir.
There are many rooms in the hotel but the attic is significant. So much design and creativity choices were put into such a small space, but it doesn't look cramped. In fact, the room looks like a fully-furnished master bedroom so guests will feel right at home even on their vacation.
