About this property
Beautiful Barn Conversion Close to Lake
Located in South West France, this beautiful area has it's own micro climate and is the second sunniest place in France. Set in the small hamlet of Villeret, the house is surrounded by fields of sunflowers and vineyards. A small swimming lake with a sandy beach, children’s playground and lifeguard is located 5 minutes drive (or a 15 minute pleasant cycle through woods) away.The house is a converted barn with many original features. There are 2 double bedrooms and a large children’s bedroom with bunk beds and the option for an additional bed.
Downstairs is a large open plan living area with fully equipped kitchen including dishwasher, fridge, freezer, microwave and washing machine. The double doors in the kitchen lead out to a covered bbq patio area. There is also an enclosed garden with a shady tree.
Further afield in the nearby town of Ruffec there is a lovely river beach where you can enjoy swimming, canoeing and ice cream eating! Forty minutes away in Angouleme is the fantastic Nautilus water park with a range of waterslides, Olympic size pool and lazy rivers.
Futuroscope theme park near Poitiers offers high-tech fun for all the family with many 3D and 4D simulator experiences and evening shows. Nearby, the city of Poitiers is a historic town with a beautiful cathedral, fabulous restaurants and shops.
Villeret is around 90 minutes from the coast and an easy day trip to the seaside towns of Royan or La Rochelle.
Tours, Poitiers, Limoges and La Rochelle airports are approximately 90 minutes away. The port of St Malo is approximately 4.5 hours and Calais is a 6.5 hour drive.

About the host
Hosted by Jane

We are a family of four from Cheshire and bought our house in Villeret 10 years ago. Over the last 10 years we have renovated the property, no small task with toddlers in tow! Now the property is a fully functioning family home and our guests often comment on how well equipped the house is compared to most holiday homes.
We love the village and surrounding area and like nothing better than cycling through the local lanes and swimming in the lakes. We hope you enjoy our French home too!

What makes this property unique
We believe our house is more than just a holiday property, it is exceptionally well equipped and will cater for all your needs. The community (both French and English) embraces visitors and many of our guests have developed local friendships and return year after year to the property.
