Rue de La Pigeonnerie, Bagnault, Deux Sevres
Luxury 2 bedroom apartment, sleeps 5.
Swimming pool.

Set in its own private landscaped grounds, with two carp ponds and water feature; the fabulous pool measuring 9mx5m, (shared with the owners) and adjacent terraces are perfect for relaxing and provide a superb backdrop for evening meals and outdoor barbeques (two exterior large, covered, BBQ areas) particularly watching the sun go down or when illuminated by night. There is a large variety of garden furniture at your disposal. There is a table tennis table; darts board; bicycles; games; and of course ‘boules’.

The French rural tranquillity and 'joie de vivre!', can certainly be found in this truly unspoilt area of France. There is easy access to the Atlantic port and beaches of La Rochelle; Ile de Re, for chic seafood harbour restaurants; cosmopolitan city of Poitiers, for history, boutiques and a fix for any 'shopoholic' and of course the famous theme park for the moving image, Futurescope; Cognac for sampling something a little stronger; an abundance of Châteaux’s, vineyards and tasting the local Pineau de Charente, and fields of sunflowers which seem to go on forever. Small traditional market towns of a bygone era are also plentiful and within a few minutes drive of the farmhouse; you can visit the traditional French markets and buy wonderful local produce to cook for your evening meal.

The property is set in the idyllic medieval village of Bagnault, overlooking the valley of the River Nortaise, in the rural Deux Sevres. The village has four beautiful 'fountaines' or baths, which spring naturally from the river; architecture dating back to the twelfth century, and many tiny 'chemins' and street lanterns. A communal bread oven is the focal point for the village elders who go there to bake the local speciality; a type of cheesecake; the village is, after all on the Route de Chabichou or Goats Cheese trail!

Within a short distance there is a lake with a sandy beach, which has all water sport facilities; fishing; cycling; swimming; horse riding. The local area has angling on all the rivers, and is perfect for cycling (bicycles are available to guests); picnicking; walking; bird watching; and golfing at Niort , 15km away.
