Ian Nelmes and Miguel De Lemos ran a boutique inn in the north of France for 14 years. In 2018, they moved to Prince Edward County and started building Mirazule—a stunning modern showpiece inn that opened its doors in August 2021—from the ground up. Their approach to hospitality is a little unconventional: guests are meant to feel like they’re at a glamorous house party. Alcoholic beverages are included in the rate, and socializing with the hosts and fellow guests is par for the course.
It was an ambitious idea since neither of us knew how to manage a big property with lots of rooms and staff. Sometime later, on a long U.S. road trip, we discovered the concept of bed and breakfasts and realized we could run a smaller property.We ended up looking at an odd L-shaped building in a rural French town called Corbie, about an hour south of Vimy. We cashed out of our London apartment for £305,000, bought the French home for £270,000 and moved in in 2001.
Then we started the process of selling our property in France, which ultimately took nearly three years. We stayed on to facilitate because we needed the funds from France to pay for the build here anyway. In the meantime, we connected with BlackLab Architects in Toronto and started working on the design. We knew Mirazule would go over well because the popularity of the county has been growing but the number of places to stay has lagged behind.
