About this property

A charming guest house in a garden 500m from Paris

A charming guest house in a garden. In a suburban neighborhood, an oasis of calm near Paris. Close to public transport, metro, bus and tram, you are 20 minutes from Montparnasse, 25 minutes from the Champs Elysées, 15 minutes from the salons of Porte de Versailles, 20 minutes from France Télévison. An ideal home for working or discovering the cultural riches of Paris alone, as a couple or as a family.
To access the house from the garden, you have to cross my house through a corridor, go into the garden that the hosts share with me.

Property was well kept and had plenty of room for my niece and me. The location was close enough to public transportation for us to go into Paris without a hassle. The hostess was helpful and charming. She provided breakfast for us, as well. Would stay here again.

We love staying in this garden cottage in Malakoff. I fact, this was our second stay. We especially enjoyed the garden terrace on this visit. The air conditioning worked great and was welcome in the recent heat wave. The kitchen has everything you need to cook at home. Restaurants and shops within walking distance. Easy walk to the tram or metro. We also enjoyed pleasant conversations with our hostess.

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.

Wonderful Stay in the Maison du Jardin

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.

Loved the Garden House

Dominique was such an incredible host. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. We had so much space and Dominique was so accommodating. We had everything we needed for a long term stay. Dominique had wonderful recommendations for the area and she brought us fresh fruit on the weekends. The listing is in between two metro stops, but they are both about a 15 min walk to get to each. I didn’t mind the walking at all because the neighborhood was so charming. I would highly recommend this listing.

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.

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!

Perfect Quiet Getaway

I couldn't have enjoyed my stay more! I was in town for a conference at Porte de Versailles and La Maison du Jardin was the perfect getaway from the bustle of a large exposition. Dominique, the owner, was very accommodating, allowing me to store my luggage several hours before check-in and greeting me with coffee and croissants when I did so. The apartment itself was wonderful, with plenty of space and light. I was also very thankful for the air conditioning, since temperatures were hovering around 38C during my stay. Transportation via transit was very convenient, with the T3 tram, 13 Metro, and several bus routes being 8-10 minute walks. Definitely hope to return!

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!

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.

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.

Peaceful oasis with charming host

We had some doubts about staying outside of Paris for our first visit, but this property was perfect. Our Paris days were long, busy, and a bit stressful. It was so nice to come back to our garden house and decompress and talk about our day. Mme. Dominique was kind and patient with our complete inability to speak French. She was able to give us great advice on getting to the various sites in the city and how to get to the local market. The garden house was so nice. It's quite large and decorated with original artwork and comfortable furnishings and very clean. We could have happily stayed there for months. There are a couple different metro stops within 10-15 min walk. There are also bus routes, which take a bit longer, but allow you to see more of the city which was great. If you are looking for a peaceful place with a fantastic host and plenty of room, look no further.

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!

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.

We were in Paris during the worst heat wave! But the cottage had A/C and it worked great! Dominique was a joy to work with and she trusted us with her house keys to come and go at will. We felt safe in the neighborhood and market days in the village, Malakoff, were super! The kitchen had everything needed. The only thing I missed was a clothes dryer. We had a wonderful time in Paris!! Mercie
