Formidable découverte!

Premier séjour pour nous dans cette région. La maison a été très bien rénovée, et sa situation en plein cœur du marais permet bien des balades et des découvertes agréables.

Très bonne adresse

Gîte idéalement situé au coeur des Marais Poitevins...la barque mise à disposition par les propriétaires est un véritable atout....jolies balades en perspective! Le gîte est neuf, moderne et très bien pensé. Quant aux propriétaires, ils sont très sympathiques. Rien à redire mis à part que la semaine est passée trop vite!!! Bref nous avons passé une excellente semaine en famille avec nos 3 enfants.

Maison ancienne récemment rénovée avec un très agréable jardin donnant sur l'eau.

La maison, très propre et récemment rénovée, est située près du port du Vanneau. Elle possède un jardin très agréable donnant directement sur l''eau ce qui permet de faire de très belles ballades parmi le marais. Les propriétaires réservent un excellent accueil (gâteau maison - pineau) et donnent d’excellents conseils sur les activités à réaliser dans la région.

Un lieu idéal pour les amoureux de la nature !

Aout 2016, nous avons passé une semaine très agréable dans le gîte de la Belette : lieu idéal pour les amoureux de la nature désirant passer des vacances en famille. Le gîte est confortable et conforme à la description donnée, il est très bien équipé; l'accès direct au Marais Poitevin est un plus; nous avons ainsi profité de la barque, gentiment prêtée par les propriétaires pour nous promener sur les canaux : quel calme et quel plaisir ! Enfin nous avons été particulièrement touchés par l'accueil chaleureux et attentionné de Corinne et Bruno, les propriétaires, que nous remercions. Hélène, Christophe et Simon

Maison au pied du marais

Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis par les propriétaires. Le gite correspond exactement à la description. Les pièces sont spacieuses et agréablement décorées. On a trouvé la maison propre, serviettes et linge de lit impeccables et tout à notre disposition. On a apprécié le salon de jardin avec son barbecue, au calme et sans vis-à-vis. Pour un moment de détente et de dépaysement dans le marais Poitevin à conseiller !!!!! Belles promenades dans le marais (nombreux sentiers de randonnées pédestres et vélos au départ de Le Vanneau), villes proches très jolies, comme Coulon. A noter la barque mise à disposition. Une épicerie avec dépôt de pain au cœur du village et centre commercial à 7 km à Magné. Un endroit que nous vous recommandons chaudement, notamment aux amoureux de la campagne et de la nature ! Nous reviendrons.
