About the home

Arbre de Cerise is a beautiful 400 year old farmhouse that has been lovingly restored and converted into three gites. All the character features of the gites sit alongside every modern convenience to ensure that your holiday is as relaxing as possible.

Coquelicot is our 2 bedroom gite, sleeping 4 people, which looks out onto a grassed courtyard where a majestic cherry tree stands, providing stunning blossom in early Spring, an abundance of cherries in May and cooling shade in the height of summer.

Across the courtyard is a large games barn and traditional French bread and beyond this is our stunning, newly installed 10m x 5m HEATED swimming pool. The fenced and landscaped pool area is furnished with sun loungers and shaded seating areas for enjoying lazy days and convivial evenings.

Arbre de Cerise is part of the small hamlet of Grange, on the southern edge of Vienne, and is surrounded by rolling countryside. The climate in this beautiful region of south west France ensures reasonably mild winters and warm summer days. The N10 highway is minutes away which makes Arbre de Cerise the perfect place for exploring this fascinating region.

Delightful local villages with boulangeries, bars and restaurants, along with several historic market towns provide an extensive range of facilities and amenities all within 10 minutes drive.

Guestbook for Coquelicot, Arbre de Cerise

"We had a wonderful time at Arbre de Cerise and it was lovely for all the family to be together again. We spent lots of time by/in the pool and some of the children grew webbed feet by the end, they hardly had time to eat they were having so much fun. We cycled around the countryside, some walked, some jogged and some just lazed. It was wonderful. We went to a local Ferme Auberge one evening just outside Sauze for a jazz/dinner evening which was fun and visited the villages nearby and had a shopping spell in Poitiers. We sat out under the tree most evenings for dinner." Mrs Tilt, Hampshire
