About this property

Renovated Countryside Longère: 15 Guests, Gardens, Close to Outdoor Activities

While preserving the charm of the old stone walls, this traditional longhouse has been completely renovated over three years. It combines authenticity, contemporary comfort, and the surrounding natural beauty. Located in the heart of the Alpes Mancelles and the Normandie-Maine Regional Natural Park, 2.5 hours from Paris, 1.5 hours from Nantes, and 1 hour 30 minutes from Angers and Deauville, this gîte offers serenity both within its walls and in its large garden.

It features five bedrooms, four with private sitting areas and bathrooms (showers or bathtubs available), and four toilets, three of which are private. A unique feature: access to the fifth bedroom requires passing through the fourth, which does not have a door. The 210m² longhouse boasts spacious rooms and abundant natural light (cathedral ceiling in the living room) in the 43m² living area. A 39m² mezzanine includes a reading corner, a games area, and a media corner. There is also a 100m² stone terrace. Ideally located, this house is surrounded by verdant meadows where cows and calves from our farm graze. Close to the village of Saint-Léonard-des-Bois (3 km), a village in the heart of the Alpes Mancelles region, it offers a wealth of activities and events. You'll discover hiking and cycling trails, and you can try trail running or hone your skills. Places steeped in history and architecture await you. Water sports, shops, and restaurants are available in the village. You're also welcome to come and chat with us about our enjoyable life as farmers.

The furniture and appliances are new or refurbished vintage pieces. The bedding is brand new and carefully selected for maximum comfort.

The pluses: Bed linen and towels provided, internet access included in the price.

Optional cleaning fee of €150, but highly recommended.

Outside: Private outdoor parking along the covered area (no vehicles can be brought inside the cottage courtyard). Large covered area enclosed on two sides, children's play area (swing set), pétanque court, barbecue, garden furniture, armchairs, 2000 m² lawn with fruit trees. Lockable storage room available.
UP TO 15 BEDROOMS AVAILABLE (with supplement) (take the initial nightly rate, divide it by 12, and multiply by the number of guests).

The price shown on GDF is increased by 15% because this booking is managed by a platform (direct bookings are not managed in the same way, so the rental price is lower).

For family gatherings, please contact us! This accommodation is not a function room; therefore, all festive events (large dance parties, noisy gatherings, etc.) will not be permitted. Similarly, additional guests staying only for lunch or dinner and departing in the evening must be notified in advance and will be charged €10 per person, which is included in the rental price. This includes bed linen, towels, internet access, and electricity. There is an electrical hookup in the village (no secure charging point for vehicles at the accommodation). Contacting us a few days in advance will allow us to best adjust your arrival time.

Très bon séjour au gîte du boulay. La maison est très agréable et l'accueil excellent.

Très belle maison rénovée et décorée avec goût. Les chambres sont spacieuses et agréables. Maison bien équipée. L'environnement est calme et reposant. idéalement située pour visiter les petits villages alentours et randonner dans la campagne sarthoise. Accueil et communication avec Agathe la propriétaire très bons.
