About this property

The 2 gites of la Lucaziere are located one and a half hours south of the ferry port of Ouistreham and 35 minutes from Le Mans. They are set in grounds which form part of a 400 acre organic estate with its chateau, meadows and extensive woodland. The owners of the gite live in the chateau, far enough away to allow you privacy but on hand if required.
The local village of Mont saint Jean is less than 1 km away and has a bar and a small shop as well as a boulangerie.
The local area offers many attractions. The lake and beach of Sille le Guillaume is just 5 km from la Lucaziere, there you can enjoy sailing, ,pedalos, pleasure bikes or simply relax at one of the bars with a glass of wine! Nearby, the picturesque village of St Leonard du Bois offers kayakng and superb hiking and cycling routes as well as some lovely restaurants. There are many other beautiful villages in the area to be explored.
But if it is peace and tranquility that you require why not just lase around the heated pool at la Lucaziere. Unlimited fibre optic internet is connected to the Gite.

Would have stayed forever if we could!

This is such a beautiful area of France, and relatively undiscovered by tourists. We loved the property and the pool, bear in mind it is shared with the second gite and château but there was never any antisocial behaviour, in fact it was fun to meet the other guests. Richard and Anita are charming and welcoming. The gite we stayed in was comfy and had all we needed. The nearby plage at Sille was lots of fun and we also did loads of walks. We’d love to come back.

Hidden Gem

We stayed for five nights in mid September. The weather was glorious with plenty to enjoy in the local towns and villages. Anita and Richard were very friendly and relaxed hosts, and our property had everything that we needed. With the weather being so hot the swimming pool was especially welcome.

A very relaxing week away - and great to have a pool in our back garden!

We spent a lovely week in August in Grooms Cottage. Anita and Richard are fantastic hosts - they allowed us to look around their beautiful chateau, and we had some lovely walks in the grounds and orchards. The pool is a great size and the cover helped on some slightly cooler days, worth noting that the pool is shared with chateau guests and the other rental property. Richard has a number of inflatables he regularly blows up for guests which is a lovely touch! The cottage itself is very spacious especially the bedrooms and the original character really stands out. The furnishings etc are fairly basic, but the kitchen was well equipped. We had a lovely, relaxing week exploring the local area and would recommend to others who want their own piece of rural France for a week. Thanks again to Anita and Richard for sharing their home.

About the host

Hosted by Anita Harvey

I moved to France with my husband and 3 young children in 2001, since then I have worked alongside my husband on our organic suckler cow farm. My son has recently joint us on the farm which has given me the opportunity to renovate our gite, something that I had been wanting to do for a while but had never had the time!. In my spare time I like to make the most of the beautiful countryside in which we live and enjoy horse riding and walking.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with La Lucaziere the moment I saw it and it is a dream come true to live here. It is secluded and peaceful with super views, giving you the impression of stepping back in time.

What makes this property unique

The site of La Lucaziere has been inhabited since the 1300's, although the facade of the chateau has changed over the years. There have been many noble families that have taken residence in the chateau, but now it is the family home of Richard and Anita Harvey and their children. They are gradually trying to piece together the history of La Lucaziere through the chateau archives.
