Fantastic!

We went to Deux Sevres for the first time. Staying here was the best part of our vacation, everything in and around the house was perfect. Deux Sevres is perfect to finally relax a bit in a busy life...

Magnifique contact avec le propriétaire, discret, efficace, serviable. La maison est spacieuse, tout à fait équipée. Des grandes surfaces sont proches (quelques minutes). Nous avons vécu des vacances familiales très agréables avec des visites dans des villes voisines (Poitiers, Angoulème, Niort, le Parce des singes... Tous ces lieux à 30 min ou 1 heure de voiture.

Excellent séjour dans un logement très agréable

Le logement est conforme à la description, bien équipé, literie confortable, agréable à vivre et surtout au calme très appréciable. Très bon accueil du propriétaire et bonne communication au cours du séjour (merci pour le dépannage de la tv!) Notre plus jeune fils ne voulait pas en repartir! Prévoir un peu de voiture pour des visites (45 min à 1h); sinon petit supermarché à 5 min et centre plus important à 15 min (en voiture) Logement à garder en mémoire

About the host

My parents bought the property in 1996 and I have been coming here regularly since. I moved here permanently in 2018 and have built up a knowledge of places to visit that may not be on the normal tourist map.

What makes this property unique

The historic cities of Poitiers, Niort, Angouleme, Limoges, La Rochelle, Bordeaux, and Saintes are within easy reach.
