With an authentic French country-chic feel expertly coupled with all the contemporary mod-cons you would expect, this gorgeous gîte provides you with the perfect base from which to set out and explore the many delights of its picturesque surroundings.

Nestled in the rolling countryside of Mortagne-sur-Sèvre and boasting a large, south-facing garden complete with gently bubbling brook running through it, the outdoor areas of this home strongly influence its interiors – which themselves exude the rustic old-world charm and light-dappled cosiness typical of rural France.

Whether it's your first cup of coffee out on the terrace in the morning, or a flavourful sip of wine overlooking the water as dinner simmers away in the kitchen, this home invites you to drink in everything which makes this area and the way of life it fosters so unique.
