The gites sleep up to 26 people, all are well equipped for self-catering holidays with private terraces and have access to the fenced swimming pool, garden and games room. Full of rustic character and recently refreshed and furnished with luxury in mind.

Each gite has satellite TV so you can watch all the normal UK channels or if you prefer you can watch French TV. DVD Players are provided and WIFI is available so you can keep up with your emails if you wish – please note the signal is poor in this area and will not be strong enough to stream films/video clips etc. Each gite has its own lounge and dining area inside as well as an outdoor dining terrace with patio furniture and BBQ.

All bedrooms have shelves and hanging rails, all bedding & towels are provided free of charge including pool towels. Cots, highchairs and safety gates are available for each gite on request. Unfortunately we are not able to accept pets.

Perle rare
Ce gîte est super équipé aussi bien à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur. Recommandé pour les enfants. Pour fêter mes 80 ans j'avais réuni toute ma famille 👪 dans les 5 gîtes soit 24 personnes et avons passé un week-end fabuleux. Notre hôte Hannah est adorable et je suis prête à renouveller l'expérience. Il y a trop de superlatifs. Merci Hannah. Annie

About the host

Hosted by Hannah Dixon

Host profile image
I am a retired Maths teacher who moved to France in 2018 to renovate and open this gite business. I love the area and have settled into life here. The 5th Gite Le Figuier was renovated in 2020 and I opened the whole complex for the first time in July 2020.
I am hoping by summer 2021 my own renovation house will be completed :)

Why they chose this property

I love the layout - the fact you can have privacy for friends/families to book the whole complex but have separation from one another when necessary. With a secure garden and pool so people feel safe to let children play outside and can see them easily.
I also love the way the previous owners have renovated the properties to retain the character and features with lots of exposed stone and beams throughout.
It's a really tranquil place to get together and have a lovely holiday with friends/family.

What makes this property unique

Sympathetically renovated with lots of character but well equipped with everything you need for your stay and a touch of luxury.
Allows groups of up to 26 people (plus infants) to get together for a holiday without feeling on top of one another.
Secure and not too spread out so children can safely play outside.
Lots to do onsite with the pool, play area, games room etc. but also lots to go out and see/do in the area.
Lovely restaurants nearby and a variety of supermarkets within 10mins drive.
The beaches to the west are easily accessible in under 90mins so perfect for a day trip and the fast TGV lines means day trips further afield are also possible.
