'La Maison Neuve' is a traditional
Anjou farmhouse, built in the mid 19th century out of the local
tuffeau stone. The adjoining two-storey building 'Mon Reve' has
been comfortably renovated into a modern holiday home with a large
swimming pool and can accommodate up to six persons plus 1 baby.
The property is set in gently rolling countryside on the outskirts
of the famous forest of 'le Chandelais'.
The first floor is accessed
via outside stairs leading to a small terrace offering spectacular
views of the surrounding countryside. On the upstairs floor you
will find a very spacious room with a tastefully furnished kitchen
area, a dining/sitting area, a double bedroom and a shower room
with WC facilities.
Also available are books, CDs
and a DVD/CD player (TV screen provided for that purpose only).
The kitchen offers all modern
facilities including a gas cooker, microwave oven, dishwasher, washing
machine, coffee machine, fridge/freezer and various other utensils.
On the ground floor you will
find two double bedrooms which are independently accessed through
French doors opening onto the gite garden. One of those rooms offers
twin beds and the other a double bed. Either room is equipped with
its own shower/toilet facilities.
In addition a baby cot can be
available on request at no extra charge.
All bed linen and bathroom towels
are supplied, replaced on a weekly basis free of charge. The property
is heated throughout at no extra cost.
About one acre
of landscaped gardens overlooks beautiful countryside views. Your
private cottage garden In front of the gite is adorned with a very
pleasant shallow ornamental fishpond and mature trees, making it
an ideal setting for barbecuing
The property is hedged with
various fruit trees, abounding with cherries and plums when in season.
You are very welcome to help yourselves to the fruit!
There is also a large swimming
pool with a 'plage' dotted with sun loungers and benches. The pool
area, surrounded by young trees and fragrant flowery shrubs, offers
lovely views of the countryside. The pool is also floodlit to create
a special evening atmosphere
You may decide to spend your
evenings cooking on the barbecue, playing a game of 'boules' then
just sitting back, relaxing while sampling the local wines
As we have very little pollution in the area, you will be able to
experience some breath-taking sun sets as this is a magical place
for sky watchers, making it ideal for watching stars and planets.
One of the barns has also been
converted into a games room where you can play table tennis, darts
and various other games.
Bikes and cooling fans can be
hired on request on a weekly basis.
