About this property

La Villa Des Licoches

Recently renovated, this former 13th century building is situated at the end of the hamlet of Retournay, inhabited by the 2 owners. The gîte is situated on the border between the Vienne and Deux-Sèvres departments, in the centre of the 4 main regional attractions: the Futuroscope, the Chateaux de la Loire, the Marais Poitevin and the Puy du Fou.
A 1st category river, the Dive, crosses the property between the poplar trees. The villa at Licoches benefits from the charm of the location and the architecture of the small listed 16th century manor house. It is accessible from various urban centres: Poitiers-Paris by TGV (1h30). Poitiers is a 30-minute drive away, while La Rochelle and Nantes are 1.5 hours away.

Total floor area of 165 m² spread over 2 floors.
On the ground floor, the entrance hall, the main room of 65m2, with its kitchen area (dishwasher, cooker and extractor fan, fridge-freezer), has a large fireplace, stone tiles and underfloor heating, a bathroom with linen and a separate toilet.
Upstairs, a large corridor with poplar parquet flooring leads to 4 bedrooms with single or double beds, a bathroom with shower and bath and a separate WC.

Terrace of 150 m2 with tables and parasols, barbecue, games room (table tennis, shuffleboard, frog games) and field for ball games, with the possibility of creating a tree house for the children.

Independent parking for 4 vehicles with direct access to the gîte.

Related: For larger groups, additional chambres d'hôtes available in Marnes.
