Traditional French Farmhouse and Cottage with a Heated Swimming Pool In Deux Sevres

The properties are ideal for families with children of all ages as both the farmhouse and cottage are fitted with stairgates, and cots and highchairs are available on request at no extra cost. The holiday homes are in La Chapelle, a peaceful rural hamlet away from it all but yet ideally situated between the small market towns of Sauzé Vaussais and Chef Boutonne.

The larger towns of Poitiers, Niort and Angouleme, all good for shopping and days out, are all around 40 minutes away. The picturesque Marais Poiteven, the Green Venice of France, with its network of canals ideal for boating and sightseeing is also within easy distance. Over on the coast, around an hours drive away, are the famous Atlantic resorts of La Rochelle, Isle de Re, Royan and the Isle d'Oleran, famed as the prettiest and most traditional resorts with sandy beaches.
