Excellent property
Large beautifully kept property in a quiet part of Vendee. Lovely grounds with mature gardens. We were there for a wedding in Château Bourneau and for that purpose the villa was well positioned (15 minutes away). The area is very quiet but only about 15 mins from Fontenay, which is a fairly big town and has everything you could need. Be aware that everything shuts on a Sunday. Sandi was a great host and very responsive.

About the host

Host profile image
We are a family with teenagers, they were small when we bought the house, living in London and escaping to Pouille! My husband works in Central London and I am a Photographer. We have owned our house in France since 2006 and have lovingly and steadily restored and developed our property. The French House is a fantastic lifestyle balance for our children, friends and family. Our French House is a second home and much more than a holiday let, and our guest book demonstrates our clients sincerely agree!
We constantly make an improvements to the property and listen carefully to all our guests ideas and comments.
So each year guests return there is likely to be something new and different!

Why they chose this property

There were a few reasons for buying our house in this area: firstly and in no order
That its just about as far south as you can get in one drive!
It boasts the most hours of French sunshine outside of the Mediterranean coast. The weather is always much better south of the River Loire.
A village situation gives us all a chance to integrate with our very welcoming and friendly neighbours.
Last but not least the house was so beautiful that we couldn't not buy it!

What makes this property unique

There are many benefits unique to this property, and small personal details make a difference.
The house is furnished to a very high standard in every room, no compromise!
A big benefit is that the pool is actually properly heated, often holiday rentals compromise on this!
The fact that you need not leave the house to have a great time, 1.5 acres, swimming, chilling, beautiful garden, games and relaxing.
The wonderful orchard with help yourself organic fruit trees - apricots, apples, pears, figs, nuts, herbs and fresh flowers.
Finding the occasional food parcels brought by neighbours and left on the door step in the summer!
The property is well equipped to accommodate children.
Quality linen, decent white towels and comfortable beds.
Heated pool 26 degrees.
Open fires, wood burning stove.
Tabac, and Patisserie in the village.
Good communication links.
Many beaches, forests, culture, activities.
Gardener, Pool service, house keeper.
