Nature and surroundings

Our longère is located in the south of regional natural park "La Brenne" land of a thousand lakes (center France "Indre"). The farm is beautiful, hidden encapsulated on the edge vh adjacent forest. Location is quiet and rural with mainly country sounds (adjacent road is dead end). Our guests have a separate entrance with fenced private garden (500m²) with 2 shaded terraces and a fixed BBQ. The car finds its place in the private parking. Furthermore, there is unlimited internet via a 4G router (data flow faster than cable). Recently a SWIMMING POND has been constructed. Furthermore, the area invites hiking, biking, horseback riding and nature experiences. Cultural experiences in cities such as Poitiers, Limoges, Montmorillon, Oradour Sur Glane, Argenton-sur-Creuse (Roman site "Argentomagus"). Real French gastronomy can be found in the local restaurants with daily menus or à la carte. Info and tips for all desired activities are provided in the gîte.

    What a beautiful authentic gite, in the back part of a fermette , the owners are in the front part.2 terraces and 1 hammock part with views piece of garden, hedge neighbors and the forest. Possibility to move the table ff on the lawn to have breakfast, dinner in the sun. On the other side of the cottage, a beautiful swimming pond with a few fish and cute frogs. We had the swimming pond the 1st week to ourselves. If the owners are there then only agree with them when you want to use the swimming pond. Very thoughtful to put some goodies on the table and in the fridge upon arrival. Nice and fine rain shower, large bathroom. The kitchen fantastic with everything equipped, only missed a salad "centrifuge" but in towel drying also fine. Fine the information folder and baker, restaurant, supermarche within 10 minutes. Even deer seen in the neighborhood. Well read the household regulations so you do not forget anything to do.

    We enjoyed the cottage and the surroundings. The cottage itself is well equipped with everything you need. With four teenagers in the house, we had all the comfort and space we needed. The swimming pond is an added value; through arrangements with the owners you can swim at certain times. In the area we went cycling with the racing bike, visited picturesque villages and found fantastic walks.

    The cottage is really neat and spacious, fully equipped. The landlords are very hospitable, you are warmly welcomed and also goodbye. But they also keep an eye on your privacy.

    A beautiful setting, we really came to rest in nature. Lovely the silence and bird sounds, but also the croaking frogs in the pond.

What does “contactless stay” mean?
You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
Selection of activities
After each stay, we invite our guests to rate the nature house, the surroundings, and specific activities. An activity is only shown at a nature house if it meets two conditions: at least 20 unique reviews have been given, and at least 60% of guests gave a score of ‘amazing’ (3/4) or ‘wow’ (4/4).
