Full of charm and rustic character, the gîtes can be booked separately or together, ideal for families or groups of friends.
 

The gîtes share access to a large 10m x 5m saltwater pool with terrasse and Summer kitchen.


La Forge

La Forge accommodates up to 5 guests - the charm of its thick stone walls and beams are a reminder to its 18thC history but now well-equipped to provide all your need for a comfortable stay. Overlooking the pool and gardens, La Forge is the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the sights and sounds of the french countryside.

Le Pressoir

Le Pressoir accommodates up to 4 guests - the sister gîte to La Forge, Le Pressoir echos its character. The wraparound balcony provides views of the gardens, pool and village church. There is a locked adjoining door that enables the two gîtes to be opened up, suitable for families holidaying together or those wanting extra space.

The Cottage

The Cottage accommodates 2 guests - tucked away behind the orchard, The Cottage is simple but well equipped to ensure you have all you need, making it the perfect place for a couple or small family to relax. Enjoy a game of boules or simply relax with a glass of wine in the private garden.
