Large rural "maison ancienne" with pool, mature garden (outside dining patio)

La Maison Rose-The Pink House. You will see why it's called that when you see the sun setting on the creamy exterior of the house turning it pink. Or it could refer to the abundance of roses in the garden - the deep red reflecting off the walls. La Maison Rose is a beautiful ancient house tastefully renovated with modern features without losing the charms of the past. Big enough for 8, cosy for 2. Thick walls and shutters keep the heat of day out and keep rooms cool even in the hottest weather. Tranquil setting with ancient sights and sounds all around. Le Coudreau is a hamlet surrounded by farmland. The scenery changes with the seasons of the year. Sometimes corn on the cob, sometimes sunflowers. Wild hedgerows are laden with blackberries - pick them and snack to your heart's content. Idyllic for children. To make contact again with the noise of the city, try Niort or La Rochelle, which is only about 50 mins drive away and try many other towns besides, all within striking distance by car.
