Chante Merle is a rural farmhouse recently refurbished with all today’s comforts. Its style mixes the rustic charm of wooden beams and a wood burning fire, with a clean modern décor. The house and swimming pool are private and secluded set within its own substantial mature garden. Yet being on the edge of a small village means it’s not remote. The aspect of the house and pool look out over beautiful rolling countryside and commands a spectacular view. The house is very spacious and can comfortably accommodate up to 8 people in a family party. All bedrooms are on ground level making easy access possible for those not so mobile. All shops and facilities are just a short drive away. Free Broadband WiFi Connection.
