About this property

Chez Mamie Madeleine, a large family gîte on the edge of the Tronçais forest.

Large family home, near the Tronçais forest, in a charming little medieval village with all amenities. We renovated our grandmother's house, trying to preserve its vintage atmosphere. You might find a little piece of your childhood there, perhaps in a piece of furniture or a coffee cup... The house has 5 bedrooms, 2 with en-suite bathrooms and 2 with a sink. There is also a separate bathroom. For everyone's comfort, we have replaced all the bedding. Sheets and towels are provided. The house has a large courtyard, a garden, and a garage for storing bicycles. Pets are welcome.

Nous avons passé un long week-end dans ce gîte avec des amis. Petits et grands ont pu profiter des différents espaces de la maison et de l'extérieur. La maison est bien équipée, rien ne nous a manqué. Le petit plus serait du mobilier de jardin un peu plus cosy pour refaire le monde le soir !
