About this property

Two well equipped gites of character with swimming pool & games room

Luxury self catering gites in beautiful, quiet rural surroundings of the Poitou-Charente. Our three gites date back to the 16th Century and were part of a former winery which have been sympathetically converted in 2018/9, providing spacious accommodation with modern facilities. Situated on the Loire/Vienne border close to Futuroscope, the Chateaux of the Loire Valley, Vineyards of Saumur and Chinon as well as historic towns such as Poitiers, Tours and Richelieu.

The gites have private terraces with seating and bbq which open onto large communal gardens with 10m x 5m in ground swimming pool and separate former bread oven converted into a games room. We have two large table and chairs for all guests to dine together either outside undercover or inside, suitable for all times of the year.

The characterful stone cottages under clay tile roofs offer much historic interest such as flag stone floors, exposed oak beams, fireplaces, indoor well covered with safety glass, vaulted ceilings and lime washed walls.

The accommodation in La Vieille Maison comprises on the first floor a master bedroom with extra large bed (180cm x 200cm) and en suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms both with twin beds these rooms share the family bathroom. On the ground floor is a kitchen/dining room with large fireplace and a sitting room with fireplace.

The accommodation in La Maison de Puits comprises on the first floor a master bedroom with extra large bed (180cm x 200cm) and en suite shower room.

On the ground floor there is a further bedroom with an extra large bed, kitchen/dining room with covered well, sitting room and a bathroom off the main stone staircase.

About the host

Hosted by Samantha Sowton

Host profile image
Mark and Sam were previously based in the UK employed in architecture and property development. We moved to France in 2017 with our two daughters, Millie and Hattie and bought a derelict former winery which we have totally renovated and converted to create our own home and two spacious gites. We hope to see you soon to share this beautiful part of France with you.

Why they chose this property

After having a few holidays in this area of France we fell in love with it and decided to make it our home, a decision we have not regretted. We have travelled extensively around France but particularly enjoy this region partly due to it's fabulous climate, we have very little rain and more sunshine than most of the rest of France, and the many historic towns and tourist sites we have very locally. The people here have been incredibly warm and welcoming.

What makes this property unique

Our property oozes historic character and features. All three gites have beautiful oak beamed ceilings and limestone walls. La Maison du Puits, named because of the well in the centre of the gite which we have covered with safety glass to make it a fabulous feature, also has the original limestone staircase. All the properties overlook the central courtyard with it's planted wine barrels and lawn. On the other side of the gites is the in ground swimming pool which is fenced for security and large lawns for children to play. We have recently converted the former bread oven or bakery building which is another stunning feature and houses the pool table, football table and darts board. A great holiday destination with something for everyone.
