Gîte la Tour is a 3-bedroomed cottage, sleeping 6 (+ baby), in rural setting, 1.5km from the village of St-Laurent-de-la-Salle (Vendée), 19km NE of Fontenay-le-Comte, 47km SE of La Roche-sur-Yon, 71km N of La Rochelle (Michelin map 521). VFB is delighted to have featured this property since 2009. Saturday arrival.
This is a beautifully restored and immaculately-presented longère dating back to the 16th century. The building, with exposed stonework and beams, has been meticulously converted into two separate properties, both offering a swimming pool and only an hour from the Atlantic coast. The property is highly appealing thanks to the sympathetic renovation which has been undertaken. Great care has been taken to retain original features while ensuring that high levels of comfort and equipment are provided. The fully enclosed, grassy garden is a delightful spot - the perfect setting for the inviting pool and built-in barbecue. There is also an outdoor shower and wc. The Vendée is the second sunniest region of France and has a large choice of fantastic beaches; the magnificent Puy du Fou with its spectacular shows; beautiful La Rochelle cannot be missed, one of France's most photographed harbours.
Accommodation: Ground floor: living/dining room, kitchen/diner, wc. First floor: 1 double with en-suite bathroom, 2 twin-bedded rooms, bathroom, wc. This property is particularly suited to indoor and out-of-season living, due to a higher than average level of comfort.
