In the peaceful French countryside, near the village of Néret, this comfortable 4-person gîte is located in a renovated outbuilding dating from 1840. Once a stable and grain storage, it is now a lovely place to unwind. Downstairs, you’ll find a spacious sitting area (with a TV for your own apps), a kitchen and a large dining table, and a separate restroom. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, each with an “emperor-size” box spring bed (90x210), a seating area on the landing, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower and toilet. Outside, you can relax on your terrace overlooking the meadow—enjoying the view, peace, and space. And in the evening? A stunning starry sky. No light pollution, no noise—just silence. Your own transportation is a must; you’re truly in the heart of the French countryside here. Yet it’s only 3.5 hours from Paris (720 km from Breda). For adults only—no children and no pets. So no splashing around the pool and no barking. Just nature, time, space, and authenticity. We look forward to welcoming you.

Nature and surroundings

Your gîte is situated on a hill with sweeping views, about 4 km outside the village of Neret, in the peaceful southern part of the historic Berry region. Here, far from the hustle and bustle of the city and the tourist crowds, the landscape changes color almost every week: bright red poppies, vivid yellow rapeseed, warm sunflowers, and the gold of ripening grain. The silence here is so profound that you can actually hear it. The surrounding area is dotted with forests and farm fields where you might just come across a roe deer, fox, hare, or wild boar. Do you enjoy hiking, biking, or simply relaxing with a good book? Then you’ve come to the right place. In the summer, there are regular flea markets and yard sales in the region. For groceries, bakeries, and restaurants, drive to La Châtre (14 km) or Châteaumeillant (9 km), known for its wine and its own AOC. Upon arrival, you’ll find a folder full of tips and outing ideas waiting for you—along with a chilled bottle of wine. After all, you’re in France.

    The host and hostess take well into account the wishes of the guests: peace and privacy or just a little fun. On hot days, the pool provides the necessary cooling.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Domaine Lavau is a nice place for those who love peace, wide views and space around them. Here you can still experience true silence and it still gets really dark at night. In the cottage you will find everything you could possibly need. It is cozy with many details of the old farmhouse that this once was. Birdwatchers and butterfly lovers will not be bored here, and in the vicinity are beautiful walks to make. Also nice: in the cottage is a guide available with agenda of the flea markets in the area. In short: highly recommended!

    Fine house!

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    A truly beautiful location! With dining tables in several places on the property with a beautiful view. The cottage itself is nicely decorated and everything you need is there. The beds are more than fine and it is mouse quiet, but really! There are two little houses in the building, but you are not bothered at all by the other tenants. The friendly hosts leave you alone and all contact during your stay is via messages. The hostess sometimes makes you aware of events in the area such as flea markets or markets. Great tips.The simple pool was very welcome on the very hot days.All in all a wonderful stay!

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.
