Charming Countryside Retreat with Heated Pool and Fireplace, Ideal for Nature Lovers!
Do you love the countryside and fresh air? Do you dream of waking up to the sound of nature? Our cottage's location in the heart of a hazelnut grove makes it a preserved and authentic place where you can relax while enjoying our uncovered heated swimming pool (protected by a roller shutter) from June 15th to September 15th (from 10:00 [hidden] to 12:30 [hidden] and from 2:00 [hidden] to 6:30 [hidden]; our guests are welcome, provided they wear a swimming cap).
We've chosen to retain its old-world charm with a few modern touches inside for your comfort. Enjoy breakfast on the south-facing terrace overlooking the lawn or dine under the starry sky, whatever your desires! Facing the terrace, the living room stays cool during the hot summer hours thanks to its stone walls. You can enjoy the lounge area by the fireplace, which will liven up your winter evenings. Featuring an open-plan kitchen area and a dining table or bar area, it houses a converted corner bed that also provides a sleeping area (90x190cm). A hallway leads to a bright bedroom that opens onto the lawn, the bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a separate toilet.
At your disposal: Wi-Fi, complete baby equipment, wood for the fireplace. NOT INCLUDED: tourist taxes. OPTIONAL: Bed linens (€8/bed), bathroom/household linens (€7/person), cleaning fee (€40).
Hiking trails, La Flèche Zoo, fishing, and castles are nearby.
Swimming cap required when using the pool.
Optional services to be paid on site and reserved before your arrival:
- End-of-stay cleaning: €43.10 per stay
- Towels: €7.54 per person per stay
Property managed by a professional. Unless stated, services such as cleaning, bed linen, towels etc. are not included in the price of this rental. If pets are allowed (information in the advertisement), charges may be applicable.

Toujours agréable et reposant !
Notre second séjour ici, et toujours aussi satisfaits. Calme, verdure, piscine, et l'hôte est discrète mais également disponible.
certes c'est un peu éloigné des grands châteaux de la Loire, mais il y a beaucoup de patrimoine et d'activités aux alentours.
Merci encore !

Très bon accueil, et gîte très propre.
La localisation est idéale, pour son calme et sa proximité avec de nombreuses choses à découvrir . Enfin, pouvoir profiter de la piscine, quel plaisir. Merci encore.

A lovely, authentic place for 1-3 people
A cosy and characterful Gite in a beautiful, remote location. The host was always very friendly and happy to help (they speak limited English but are handy with Google Translate!) which I appreciated very much. The complimentary biscuits and chilled apple juice were delicious! The bed was comfortable and the shower was easy to use and get up to temperature.
The only minus point I would make is that the curtains in the bedroom don't quite close fully and let a lot of light through, so if you stay in the summer then your sleep will be largely limited by the sun's presence (I also felt like I needed to get dressed in a different room...). There is another (single) bed in the living room where the curtains/blinds are much better.
