About the host
Hosted by Samantha & Glenn Turner
After 30 years in property management we made the decision to move to France on early retirement 8 years ago. We enjoy the relaxed lifestyle and have successfully offered our Gite to guests from all around the world. We are returning to the VRBO platform but have had a 9 out of 10 rating on another booking site.
Why they chose this property
Fell in love with the character of La Vente along with its location. Situated just a few minutes walk from the village centre where you find all you need. Its a quiet location within easy reach of many interesting place.
What makes this property unique
Quiet location but near to local bar and a few minutes drive to the charming village of St Fraimbault which has for many years won awards for its summer flower displays. There is a lovely lake with a bar perfect for just relaxing in the summer sun.
