Notes
- Notes on accommodation: Located in the Southern Vendee & well placed for all amenities. The fabulous Mervent forest and the superb sandy beaches of the Atlantic coast are within easy reach. The world-renowned Puy du Fou leisure park and amazing Son et Lumiere is close and highly recommended. There are many rivers and lakes in the area, which boast good fishing, walking, boating and cycling. The Marais Poitevin with its miles of interlocking canals and waterways is a great place to visit. For those of you with a love of architecture and good shopping, visit the city of La Rochelle. Fontenay La Comte, the town market and the chateau are all well worth a visit. There are golf courses in close proximity offering challenges for the novice and seasoned golfer. Alternatively take the various gourmet wine tours in nearby Mareuil Sur Lay and appreciate the diverse gastronomy the region has to offer. The owners are on hand with with advice on where to go and what to do, so please ask! These are No Smoking properties Outside: Both "La Treille" & "Old Garlands" benefit from the large, well maintained and secluded gardens. There is a large patio in front of each gite for exclusive use, perfect for sitting and relaxing, al fresco eating, barbecue etc. (There is a barbecue available for use) There is a 10m x 5m salt-water swimming pool, a hard tennis court and plenty of room for children to play. We have 2 lovely labradors who are extremely friendly, always a huge favourite with children of all ages (even the grown up ones!!)

About Richard Mayle
Richard & Sue own La Treille. Having lived in the South East of England all our lives, we were looking for a slower pace of life in a more rural setting. We looked at many properties over a number of years before we visited "La Treille" and we were blown away with the stunning setting. So many of our guests have come back to stay for three to four years in succession as they have found the setting to be so peaceful.
Richard Mayle purchased this Cottage in 2010
Why Richard Mayle chose La Caillere-Saint-Hilaire
La Caillere is located in the Southern area of the Vendee, an area of rolling countryside dotted with lakes and forests. Our home is at the edge of a village in a semi-rural location. Plenty of things to do and see for the more active, but peaceful and relaxing if that is what you prefer. We are lucky enough to own a fabulous period property (dating back to Napoleonic times) with huge character and a superb two and a half acre garden. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the sunshine! Access from the UK is easy, with regular flights from several UK airports to Nantes (1 hour), La Rochelle (1 hour) and Poitiers (90 minutes). Driving is easy too, (much easier than in the UK) with ferry crossings to Caen, Cherbourg, Le Harve, Dieppe, Calais and don't forget the Euro Tunnel.
What makes this Cottage unique
Whilst viewing potential properties to buy over a number of years, we were struck by the poor accommodation offered by many of the holiday cottages/gites. We looked at providing holiday accommodation that we would be happy to stay in ourselves and this has resulted in two gites of a very high quality and standard. We have had many guests that return year after year. Most tend to book within a week or two of leaving us!
