Vacation Rental Description
|
|
In fact it used to be a convent and still boasts it's very own chapel! It is a testament to the owner's imagination to preserve the chapel in it's nearly original state; the alter, the lovely stain glass windows.
The owners have retained many original and fine features that one expects of a seigneur's house; spacious airy rooms, antique furniture, lamps and marble fireplaces. The bathrooms and bedrooms have been restored with fine materials - all bathrooms have been faced with red marble and renovated. There are in fact two vast living rooms, the second floor one retaining the original beam celing structure.
The house interior has been completely modernized (central heating, double-glazed windows throughout, etc) and has a fantastic state of the art modern kitchen. The terraces, of which there are many and the newly re-designed summer kitchen also have a contemporary feel with high quality garden furniture. The facade is still in need of some renovation in placesand the shutters are a bit weathered, but the lovely long views from the pool terrace make this a perfect holiday location.There is a family restaurant only a short walk away, as well as a good vegetable market twice a week. Excellent local wine.

The property is set in a walled private garden with large gates screening it from the street. The garden is fairly small (about 800m2) with several distinctive 'areas' to sit out:
Steps from front door lead down to a pool and pool terrace with some modern comfortable sun loungers. Some more steps to the left of the pool go up on to a very large terrace with a big outisde dining table and wraught iron chairs. The views from this terrace are long and lovely looking towards the Faugere hills.
The covered summer kitchen and bar has a designer feel and have just been finished this summer. As one goes through the summer kitchen there is actually another small 'breakfast terrace' with beautiful stone work and attractive garden furniture.
The swimming pool (11mx5m and 1m65 deep) has wide shallow steps. Alarm being installed for 2008.
BBQ - designer! portable.
