Our area is one of the sunniest parts of France. We are far from busy roads, on the edge of an historic village in the sunflower-strewn Nie valley (near St Jean D'Angely). A former Napoleonic era fortified farm, the property has been carefully restored to retain its original rustic charm.

The 50m2 solar heated swimming pool is in a separate, secure, fully-enclosed area with its own lawn, sun terrace and toddler splash pool.

The main garden/playground area is also fully enclosed and within sight of all the cottages. We have a field for football matches and a barn for table tennis. Wifi Internet is freely available on site for all our guests.
