Accommodation for up to 7 or 8 people in two charming gites situated side by side in a medieval village courtyard with secure parking for multiple cars opening on to a sunny garden with heated private pool and a covered dining and BBQ area. Our gites are ideal for family groups or groups of friends who may want some privacy and separate facilities and still be able to enjoy large communal socialising.
The courtyard is fully enclosed for privacy and safety of children and dogs. There is a small patio area directly outside each gîte, perfect for morning coffees and afternoon drinks. For lunches and evening meals take advantage of the covered BBQ and dining area with seating for up to 8 people.
