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.
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 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.
