Why they chose this property
Nestled in a semi-rural location, south of Cerizay and north of Moncoutant in western France, Gite des Camélias has the perfect combination of being a rural retreat but with a good selection of local amenities not more than 10 minute drive away in either Moncoutant or Cerizay.
To experience the theme parks and the beautiful beaches as well as all the other amazing activities the region has to offer, then a car is advisable. Private off-road parking for two cars is available and it is directly outside the gîte.
If you like to cycle, the renowned La Voie Verte (an extensive car-free cycle route) is just on the doorstep and is also great for dog walks!
