The house is in a perfect location - situated in a quiet hamlet on a narrow road with hardly any passing traffic except for local farm vehicles.
It has a large, private garden with a rustic undercover area for relaxing and barbecuing. The pool is wonderful and not overlooked at all; perfect for keeping cool.
Inside, the house has both a charming rustic, and contemporary vibe with thick outer walls, shuttered windows, a walk-in rain shower in the downstairs bathroom and velux windows in the upstairs bedrooms and landing.
The kitchen is well equipped and we loved the on-demand ice maker on the freezer!
Despite the solitude of the location of the house, it is 15 minutes drive from the charming town of Sancerre with its restaurants, vineyards and supermarket. The nearby villages are also very inviting; very pretty, relaxing and so quiet!
The area is an expanse of yellow fields, green vineyards, rolling countryside with trees, canals and quietude.
A perfect location off the beaten track but close enough to facilities, picturesque villages and towns with historic buildings and culture.
Stephanie and Sebastien were lovely hosts (they put up with our poor understanding of the French language!), and we were made to feel very welcome. Even their dog, Tomy was special and we enjoyed meeting him!
There is so much to explore in the area with the promise of a wonderful house and pool at the end of each day’s adventure… we must return!
