'Les Violettes' is a 1786 stone barn, which in 2008 was newly and sympathetically converted to a rural gite with high modern building standards, whilst preserving original features, such as beamed ceilings – to create spacious, light and airy accommodation with an antique ambiance.
The property is suitable for 2 adults but can accomodate extra on the double bed settee in the lounge with space for a folding bed or a travelcot.
A welcome pack of bread, butter, milk, coffee and wine is included to get you started.
Heating throughout (should it be needed) is by new electric radiant heaters. The property is suitable for off season breaks to explore the vineyards, chateaux and gorgeous bastide towns that this part of France offers. Ideal also for golfers.
