The house

  • Quiet, rural area with some agricultural activity

Happy Holidays Happen Here in our spacious barn conversion. It has a large living area, a kitchen equipped with everything you would need for a holiday home from home, two bedrooms (1 King size bed 200cm by 150cm, 2 single beds 190cm by 90cm) and a shower-room with toilet and basin. The high vaulted ceiling in the main living area ensures that the Gite is cool and comfortable even in the height of summer. Outside there is an elevated deck with space for al fresco dining and a seating area as well. There is also a secure gangway leading to the above ground pool. The deck and pool enjoy fantastic views towards the south-west overlooking the tranquil countryside of the Vendee. Our guests are always amazed at the quality and spaciousness of our Gite and the views across the surrounding countryside which no photo can truly capture. A common observation from our very satisfied guests is that the photo's of the Gite do not do it justice. Why not find out for yourself?

    Prachtige ligging ! Met honderden mooie vlinders 🦋🦋🦋
    Josie is de perfecte host, ze komt eventjes kijken of alles in orde is, en dan is ze terug weg.
    Huisje bevat alle accommodaties die je nodig hebt, na een week komen ze het voor jouw opfrissen.
    Terras, zwembad, yogales, Josie haar glimlach, alles krijgt voor mij een 10/10
    Wanneer je echt aan rust toe bent dan is dit het ideale adresje !
    We komen zeker nog terug xxxx

    We hebben hier echt een heel fijne week gehad! Vanuit het kleine gehuchtje ben je binnen een uur in La Rochelle, Niort of Poitiers. Het huis zelf heeft veel ruimte en is lekker koel en schoon. Vooral het terras was een fijne plek, waar we een groot deel van de dag lekker in de zon zaten en natuurlijk eindeloos in het zwembad plonsten. De kinderen (6 en 9) waren er niet uit te slaan! :)

    Josie en Dom waren altijd beschikbaar voor vragen, maar lieten ons vooral met rust.

    We waren graag een weekje langer gebleven, maar helaas was Mon Petit Coeur al volgeboekt. Maar voor een volgende vakantie zéker een plek om naar terug te gaan!

    Een weldadige plek en een fantastische gastvrouw: Josie. Vanuit “Mon Petit Coeur” hebben we La Rochelle, Niort, Portenay en Poitiers bezocht: allemaal prachtige steden die vanuit de Gite te bereizen zijn. En telkens kom je terug in de weldadige rust en heerlijke tuin van dit prachtige huis. Een echte aanrader voor mensen die de Vendee willen verkennen en ook tot rust willen komen in een landelijke omgeving.

Restaurants, food & wine

We can suggest a variety of local restaurants within a 10 minute drive of our property, from basic up to Gourmet quality.

There are also numerous other attractions and activities within easy reach of our Gite, it really does make the perfect base for exploring the region.
