About the area
Oulmes
Located in Rives-d'Autise, this holiday home is in a rural area and near theme parks. Port Boinot and Niort Golf Club are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those looking for area attractions can visit L'Abbaye Saint-Vincent and Arts Fusions Fonderie.

Un long week-end inoubliable dans un bel endroit
Super week-end passé au sein des 2 gîtes situés côte à côte. Nous étions 16 adultes et 8 enfants, nous avons eu un nombre de chambre permettant à chacun d'avoir son intimité. Merci pour l'accueil, la disponibilité et la gentillesse des propriétaires. Les gîtes et les extérieurs sont extrêmement bien équipés : il ne manque rien, bravo !!! Les jardins, la piscine sont très agréables, la décoration est très sympa et la literie au top. Nous recommandons sans aucun problème et encore merci aux propriétaires !!!!

Repos en famille
Un séjour où tout le monde (petits et grands) a pu trouver sa place aussi bien dans les activités à disposition que les tâches ménagères. Les espaces permettent une vie communautaire harmonieuse pour une vingtaine de personnes.

Easy living in the French countryside.
The lodge is situated in a quiet peaceful area but with easy access to local villages and towns. Our Gite was spacious and very comfortable. The pool and games room provided excellent entertainment for all the family. Hazel and Dave did excellent work in providing information and assistance during our stay.
I highly recommend the lodge.
