Dear guests, adults and children!

We, Elena and Benoit Lardy, the founders of the Dom Lardy, are happy to welcome you in our home. (“Dom” means “House” in Russian).

We love to travel, especially in Russia. We have slept in chums (tents) in the Arctic, trekked on the Baikal, meditated in panoramic houses in the Altai, enjoyed sunsets while glamping in Kamchatka and the Black Sea, tasted traditional pastries in Karelia and Russian wines in Anapa. From each trip we brought back new ideas and tons of inspiration.

In April 2020, we ended up in the picturesque village of Lomy at our parents' house and spent the entire quarantine here. Nearby, a first Izba (dwelling) was purchased, which was the beginning of Dom Lardy. First it had to be restored, thankfully in the Russian countryside, in Chukhloma, there are still real folk craftsmen who know how to save old wooden houses. And so, the heart and gathering area of our Dom – the Izba, came to life.

The interiors of the Dom Lardy were invented with the French designer Catherine Bagnalasta. She was inspired by the surrounding expanses and as a result we got a Russian interior with a French touch. Most of the items in the Izba were found at flea markets and antique boutiques in both Russia and France, and many objects have their own history.

The hill on which the village is located, is called "the magic mountain". From here you have breathtaking views. Legend goes that all wishes made there, do become true.

We cannot wait to see you, Lena and Benoit Lardy
