Our area is one of the sunniest parts of France. We are far from busy roads, on the edge of an historic village in the sunflower-strewn Nie valley (near St Jean D'Angely). A former Napoleonic era fortified farm, the property has been carefully restored to retain its original rustic charm whilst optimising child-friendly characteristics. Our five family cottages sleep 5-8 +cot (3 or 4 bedrooms). The giant 1.8mx2.0m oak four poster beds are really comfortable. The kitchens are well equipped and all include fridge-freezer, washing machine, full oven, hob etc. Baby/toddler equipment is included and Babysitting is available. We hold pizza making evenings in the garden each week (dependant upon demand). Wine walks, tastings and guided winery visits are also available. (Click here to see the property layout).
