About this property

Unusual mill

The windmill was built in 1885, so it is steeped in history. It was renovated in 2006. It is one of the only mills available for rent in the Vendée. Come and take the opportunity to sleep...
It is intended for a couple.
You will have access to the entire accommodation.
It is located 300m from a small village.
You will spend a pleasant stay in peace and quiet with a total change of scenery. The cows, sheep, birds and church bells in the distance will accompany you in your tranquility.

The bed will be made on arrival for your comfort.
ALL BED AND HOUSEHOLD LINEN ARE PROVIDED + THE CLEANING FEE IS INCLUDED IN THE RENTAL.

The windmill is arranged on four levels: a kitchen is located on the ground floor, equipped with granite worktop, a ceramic hob, a grill/microwave, a large fridge/small freezer, and other household appliances (coffee maker, kettle, croque-waffle, toaster, blender, mixer, pancake pan) will allow you to cook according to your desires.

A curved wrought iron staircase leads to the living room, furnished with a non-convertible sofa, a DVD TV (no antenna), board games (scrabble, dooble, card games, small horses, checkers, chess, escape game...), books and DVDs (for adults and children) will allow you to spend good times with your family. THE STOVE IS FORBIDDEN TO BE USED FOR RENT.

The original wooden staircase (with its sweet melody) goes up to the 2nd floor which leads to a beautiful bathroom with large shower cubicle, a sink and toilet, all closed by a sliding door.

Then a very steep wrought iron staircase leads up to an elegant bedroom with a double bed under the roof of the mill with a magnificent view of the surrounding countryside.

We provide toilet paper, hand soap, washing-up and sponge liquid, hydroalcoholic gel.

Outside, you will have a barbecue, garden table and chairs, as well as deckchairs and outdoor games (moolky, beachball, bowls .. ) to make the most of this pretty corner of paradise. A protected area for bicycles has been created (possibility to rent bicycles in Mervent)

NB: CHILDREN UNDER 8 YEARS OLD ARE NOT ALLOWED at the mill due to the non-existence of crash barriers on the external stairs. The internal stairs are not a playground because they are very steep.
Children are therefore under the responsibility of their parents. We do not accept any responsibility. Thank you for your understanding.

The mill is located 12 km from Fontenay le Comte, in the surroundings you can take beautiful walks and discover a beautiful heritage (documents at the mill)
* 11.6 km from the town of Fontenay le Comte (cinema, tree climbing, visit, town of art and history)
*11.1 km keep and medieval garden of Bazoges en Pareds
* 9.5km forest and lake Mervent (cycling, walking), leisure centre
* 9km Vouvant the beautiful village of France and its Mélusine tower
* Cycling or hiking in the surrounding area
* 6.6 km Pierres Bruns Amusement Park
* 25 min from the Marais de Poitevin (boat trip)
* 45 min from Puy du Fou
* 1 hour of Futuroscope
* it's up to you to come and discover the rest... 😉

Access to the mill is by a code at the gate and a key box within the property. The access codes will be provided to you on the day of the rental... by SMS on your mobile by me...

We look forward to making you enjoy this beautiful building.
