In a rural position, yet with very easy access to the coast, this comfortable and stylish property is the perfect choice for a family holiday. This attractive house has been restored with care and attention to detail, many of the original features such as exposed stonework, tiled floors and beams being preserved. A high level of comfort is ensured thanks to contemporary furnishings combined with period items. A smart terrace offers the opportunity for alfresco dining next to the pool and fully enclosed grassy garden. A vast selection of wonderful beaches line the Vendée coastline, a region highly popular with the French for their summer holidays; take a trip to the exclusive Ile de Ré and enjoy fresh seafood in one of Les-Portes-en-Ré’s restaurants.
