With an abundance of charming historic towns and villages within easy access of the gites. A visit to La Faye will supply you with a host of memories to take back home. Only 30 mins form Poitiers Airport where Ryanair fly from London Stansted. Paris is accessible in 90 mins from Poitiers by TGV. The beautiful coast of La Rochelle only 120 mins away by car.
Surrounded by glorious fields this peaceful and tranquil setting will provide true relaxation for any person hoping to have a break from the pressures of modern life. For the more active person there are a host of activities on offer from walking, cycling, horse riding, canoeing & fishing to exploring the best markets and restaurants La Vienne has to offer.
Near our idyllic gites, the River Gartempe with its verdured banks is one of the Vienne’s most beautiful rivers. Home to an abundance of wildlife it offers a variety of activities from a quiet boat trip fishing to an exciting day out canoeing or kayaking. The river winds its way through several historic towns including Montmorillon a small medieval town which prospered from the manufacture of parchment and Saint Savin with its remarkable Abbey which is famous for its beautiful Romanesque frescoes listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.
Recent Clients Of Maison Marguerite Say .....
“We are so grateful for our time in La Maison Marguerite, we chose to have an extended holiday and settled in quickly to what became our home from home.
The property is very well equipped with everything you could need, I’m a passionate cook so was pleased to find nothing lacking in the kitchen!
The peace and tranquillity of the landscape and being surrounded by nature gave us much needed time to de stress and relax. The sightings of beautiful birds of prey including Red Kites was a real bonus.
Local towns and villages are a short drive away , including twice weekly French markets in Chauvigny. We had a fabulous meal in l’ascenseur , Saint Savin , 8 minutes drive .. and loved sitting by the River Gartempe in Montmorillon.
We had the most amazing experience, thanks to the wonderfully creative powers of Madeline and Stephen who have made this small group of gites so artistically individual and comfortable.
This is more than a gite, it became our retreat from the constant pressures of life ! We will be back for our next escape as soon as we can”.
