Really nice property, good location, very quiet, nice pool. On the downside, staircase to mezzanine was very steep, and the shower room was outside the property (not disclosed on VRBO site).

Thank you for your appreciation. Sorry you didn’t see on the VRBO site that the shower room was next to the entrance of the property, because it is mentioned on the description photo.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans le Marais poitevin ! Malgré la chaleur, nous avons pleinement profité des lieux : balades à vélo à gogo et rafraîchissements bienvenus dans la piscine. La location est idéale et les hôtes sont parfaits — à la fois très à l'écoute et discrets. Nous recommandons ce logement sans hésiter !

Zeer vriendelijke ontvangst. Op zondagavond zijn zowat alle restaurants gesloten. Geen probleem; gastvrouw zorgde voor een uitstekende maaltijd. Zo gastvrij zijn we nog nooit ontvangen. Regelmatig werd er geïnformeerd of we het naar ons zin hadden en waren ze zeer behulpzaam.

Sehr großes Haus mit schönen Pool

Wir haben ein paar Tage mit unserer Tocher (16 Jahre) in dem Haus verbracht. Die Umgebung ist sehr ruhig. Gleich nebenan ist ein sehr guter Bäcker, ein Tabac und in 400m Entfernung ein guter Supermarkt. Die Vermierter sind extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Küche war vollständig ausgestattet. Die Betten sind bequem. Auch bei sehr großer Hitze ist das Haus durch die dicken Mauern kühl. Aus der Onlinebeschreibung geht leider nicht hervor, dass das Bad nur von außen zugänlich ist, was uns aber nicht gestört hat. Das Haus hat nur einen extrem großen und hohen Raum (mit Ausnahme des WC). Die zwei Schlafbereiche im 1.OG befinden sich auf einer, zum Wohnbereich offenen, Galerie und sind keine eigenen Zimmer. War für uns aber auch kein Problem, da die Bereiche über Paravents abgetrennt sind. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und würden das Haus wieder buchen.

Havre de paix au Marais Poitevin

Séjour très agréable dans un petit village du Marais Poitevin. Un accueil chaleureux et bienveillant des hôtes de cette magnifique demeure. Location charmante "type Loft" au cœur du village de St Hilaire la palud situé à 10 min à pied de l'embarcadère de Montfaucon pour des ballades en barque dans une partie sauvage du marais et à 15 min de parc ornithologique. Idéal pour toutes sortes de balades (à pied, en barque,à vélo ou à cheval) Un écrin de calme que nous recommanderons vivement. Catherine et Yves
