Private heated pool, a haven to share with friend and family, secluded location.

This is a lovely property in the heart of the Vendee countryside - very remote and quiet. Our family loved the pool area, with the barbecue and outdoor kitchen close by. In particular, our granddaughter wanted to be in the pool all the time - and contrary to other reviewers, we found it very easy to maintain the pool ourselves. The only drawback we found was that there was a problem with the drainage in the upstairs bathroom while we were staying. Michael, the owner, did his best to fix it, but it meant that for the majority of our stay, we only had one shower room and toilet instead of two. The surrounding area is lovely, with lots of nice countryside walks and an abundance of wildlife - we even saw a Pine Marten wandering down the path towards us one day! All in all, we had a wonderful, relaxing week.

The owner, Michael, helped out when we had a puncture and sorted out a garage to do the repair. He also looked after the pool. He was available if we needed help and nothing was too much trouble. We would certainly go back.

lovely quiet location, nice pool and great outdoor facilities - would gladly stay again. Michael, the host, could not have done more to make our stay comfortable.

Perfect size for a family of four! Not too big, ideal as a holiday home. The kitchen has all that is needed and sitting room and dining room was particularly handy on the one really wet day that we had. The big selling point for this property, is the outside space, and particularly the pool area! Many an hour was spent chilling by the pool and most lunches/dinners were had facilitated by the pool area kitchen (hob and BBQ were very much utilised) - which is definitely an asset for this property. Our dog also loved all the different areas of the garden - which is completely secure, so there were no worries about where she was at any time. The pool itself, was very easy to maintain, and our 14yo enjoyed the responsibility of checking the chemical levels in the pool each evening! The surrounding area is very beautiful and it was great exploring the woods and the cycle/footpaths with the dog every morning (all very clearly identified and marked by the Vendee department), I found a total of 5 6-8km walks without having to go on any roads - many of which were shaded which was a blessing in the warm summer mornings. The hosts were very easy to contact and very responsive, and any issues were addressed and sorted quickly. We would certainly book this property again.

This house, full of privacy, have a beautiful garden with a great pool. We spend a lot of time there because you also have an outside kitchen. The surrounding is very quiet. The host, Micheal is very friendly and helpfull. The only thing is that the house could you some updating. But no big of a deal, its a countrylife house.

It was really relaxing we had our two little dogs with us and they loved exploring the shaded areas. Loved having our lunch around the pool and dinner outside the kitchen door in the shade. Mike was very helpful and easy to get hold of. Only criticism the bedding, towels and mattress were aged and need to be replaced. Looking forward to returning next year.

the owner would come almost every sunny day 4 or 5 days a week to do the pool chemicals and clean the pool, he was there for the best part of three hours, so we werent able to use the pool at this time and neither felt we could use the pool area. The house on arrival :- the hinges were half off the cupboard that housed the dishwasher, the door came of completely the first week. the patio door from the primary bedroom to the garden wouldn't close the first night, all windows and doors on arrival were open wide, the owner had to come back that first night to help close it. It remained locked for the whole of our time there. the double bed upstairs broke the first week and remained like that. The pool area - the outside kitchen hadn't been cleaned when we arrived ..fat and dirt on the tiled floor of the exterior kitchen was dirty and remained that way for three weeks. We didn't use it. Pool dirty - the pump wasn't working properly or at all pool leaked and was never at a good temperature MOST IMPORTANT Three days before our holiday ended, we found the exterior door from the kitchen didn't lock properly, on pushing the door once supposedly locked it opened very easily again. we'd been leaving all our laptops, ipads, passports -everything important - it was available for anyone to wander in and take our stuff The owner knew this and said it was why he'd put a little wooden block against the door. he failed to tell us however. a massive deep clean and high maintenance needed

Lovely house in quiet location, surrounded by wildlife (we loved hearing all the nightingales) but very close to La Châtaigneraie for supermarket etc.

Lovely property in very private grounds - heated pool was great fun - very well equipped.

Comfortable country house with lovely pool area and views. The photos accurately show the decor, furniture etc. House is in a quiet spot with no near neighbours but only a few minutes drive from amenities. Dog friendly garden, fully enclosed with lots of areas for dogs to snuffle and find shade. House had two wc and two shower rooms which was great. Access to English and French tv. Good WiFi. Owner Michael was easy to contact if needed by phone (I found the messages via the Vrbo app wouldn’t open while I was in France-I don’t know why) and he quickly sorted out anything that we needed help with. Would definitely recommend this property and owner. Thanks for a great holiday!

We had to delay this holiday by two years due to covid, however Michael & Clare we so very accommodating. When we finally managed to take our holiday we were welcomed and shown around by Veronica who lives locally so knew all the good places to visit, and eat. Overall the house was well laid out with everything we needed, the pool area was amazing with the water at a constant 26deg. A lovely couple, great house and area so would recommend a visit
