12th Century Templar Watchtower And Manor House With Stunning Views

Facing the church, in the delightful hamlet of St. Martin de Vers, rises a 12th-century Templar watchtower with sensational views. A charming walled garden surrounds it – a riot of colour in summer – with a badminton/volley ball court and a discreetly placed, yet generous swimming pool 8x 3.75 m. Fill this manor house with your family and friends: the interiors may be magnificent and the style 'chateau', but the décor feels homely not daunting. Simple stone walls are set off by period oak furniture - big rugs top wooden floors and the sitting room is baronial, with huge comfy white sofas around a Godin wood-burning stove, in the fireplace at one end, while high-backed dining chairs and pewter candlesticks grace a massive oak dining table at the other. In between generous William Morris curtains frame windows overlooking the garden. An adjoining small, but perfect first-floor kitchen opens on to a veranda with blissful views. Gleaming oak stairs in the tower link 4 No. Double Bedrooms that boast carved four-posters from the set of 'The Tudors ' and views over the medieval village, yet offer all the modern comforts of ensuite bathrooms with large, fluffy towels.( A twin room with ensuite and a lofty single bedroom at the top of the tower with stunning views are also available if you plan to bring a larger party )

The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace. Change of towels is available on request.
