One-Off Feature

Set in its own private garden and overlooking a lake, La Maison des Vignes is a detached stone country house.  An excellent choice for anyone seeking holiday rentals in France where you can enjoy peace, privacy, wildlife and authentic French culture.

General Info

With its original oak beams and stone walls, the house is full of charm and character, but it has also been sensitively updated to provide everything you could need for a relaxing holiday. The garden is the perfect space in which to enjoy outdoor living (especially at night when the pollution-free night sky is truly magnificent), it’s a short cycle or drive to the nearest boulangerie and tabac, and the surrounding area is teeming with activities and attractions, whether you want to stroll around, get active or learn about local culture. This is rural France at its best.

The Area Surrounding The Property / Accommodation

The nearest depot de pain is within cycling distance, or it is a short drive to the village of Sainte-Sévère-sur-Indre, home to a boulangerie, a restaurant, a grocery shop, a tabac, a butcher, a pharmacy and a variety of other small shops. Outdoor pursuits are in plentiful supply, from cycling, walking, golfing and horse-riding to fishing, water sports and zip wiring. Alternatively you could spend your days wandering around vineyards, lying on lake beaches, visiting local markets and exploring towns like La Châtre, Boussac and Aubusson.

La maison de Lauren est pleine de charme et située dans une nature enchanteresse. Le confort et le calme que nous y avons connus, nous invitent à espérer y revenir. Un lieu à recommander.

Beautiful location. Tranquil grounds. Loved listening to the bird song! And the wine tours of Chateaumeillant provided by local company Gouts du Berry are excellent - Peter even picked us up from our gite!

Wonderfully peaceful cottage in a great location. From arrival - where we were greeted with the most beautiful welcome pack (including pink fizz - perfect!) - until departure, we had everything we needed. And as La Maison des Vignes is set in its own grounds, we had complete privacy and tranquility. The views over the lake were wonderful when we ate our lunch outside! We were also only a few minutes from a traditional boulangerie at St Severe sur Indre - croissants were particularly good! Would really recommend also visiting the local teleski lake - lovely beach and only a few minutes' drive! And a nice walk, too. Would highly recommend La Maison des Vignes!
