Description
Driving through acres of vineyards for as far as the eye can see is the perfect start to your holiday as you approach the beautiful setting of this tastefully restored 17th century farmhouse and barns. There's lots to offer for all the family including a gym onsite if you fancy a workout. Toddlers will delight in the luxury of having their very own heated pool and adjacent safe grassy play field with swings, slide and Wendy house. Opt for an evening meal delivered to your gite from the menus provided (with children's choice) or fire up the BBQ on your private patio area for al fresco suppers whilst watching the sun slip behind the valley...
