Accommodation

'La Fontaine' is part of a 200 year-old farmhouse, once belonging to the village mayor. The building has been restored to provide modern standards (double glazing, etc.) whilst retaining an old 'feel'. The accommodation is split over 3 floors and covers some 150 sq.m (over 1600 sq.ft).

From the private parking area, you will go through a gate into the enclosed courtyard. Passing the wooden furniture and permanent bbq you'll reach the front door which opens into the main ground-
floor living area. You may notice as you enter that the two foot thick walls and tiled floor do a good job of keeping the house at a steady temperature all year round - cool in Summer, warm in Winter. The ground floor is open-plan and includes a lounge with TV, video and DVD, a dining area big enough for 10 people, and a well equipped kitchen. Stairs lead up to the first floor, where you will find the main bathroom with shower, a separate w.c. and two double bedrooms. The rooms are furnished with genuine period or antique furniture and each have their own distinct style. The stairs continue to the top floor which has a further two large bedrooms, these designed for children or single guests. There is also a w.c / washroom and a laundry room up here.

Winter heating is supplied by a wood-burning stove on the ground floor (we'll provide the wood) which easily warms the whole house. Electric convector heaters are also provided in each bedroom, but we wouldn't expect you to need them.

Why not take the Virtual Tour to see for yourself?

Personalised service, our speciality!

However you choose to spend your time on holiday, we aim to ensure that La Fontaine exceeds your expectations in every way. We can organise children's activities on-site every morning, offer suggestions for days out, restaurants, local events ... indeed anything you need! The recurring theme from our guestbook is our attention to detail and helpfulness.

Whatever your time of arrival, we can be there to greet you and show you around. We can collect you from one of the local airports (contact us to discuss this), and can arrange to do some basic shopping for you, so that you don't have to immediately go out again. If you arrive in winter, we'll have the stove going to make sure that the house is warm and welcoming.

Our bilingual children are willing and available to introduce your boys and girls to the local 'hot-spots'.
We include one evening of babysitting with the rental price, and further evenings are available by arrangement. We even offer a cloth nappy loan service for our guests.

Your hosts

The grounds

You will have the private use of your own enclosed courtyard with all-weather furniture and bbq. You may also like to explore other parts of the grounds: the ponies' paddock and its walnut, cherry and fig trees, the stream which borders the property, the chicken run (fresh eggs available daily) and the 'orchard' of peaches, with the stone walls adorned with vines and inhabited by lizards.

There are some 5500 sq.m in all, about one and a third acres.
