Boisguérin - Self-catering house in Deux Sèvres
Le Domaine de Boisguérin
Lieu-dit Boisguérin, 79800 Souvigné, Deux Sèvres
Poitou - Charentes,
Francia
Come on down to this busy organic farm where they rear rare breed chickens and grow vegetables and herbs. It's not a high-voltage destination but it will suit those who want to immerse themselves in nature. The house sits in fifteen hectares of parkland, woodland, gardens and orchards, with no immediate neighbours. Each bedroom has an en suite bathroom and there are three kitchens, one is very large.
Beds are supremely comfortable, furniture is handmade using wood from the estate, there are some carefully chosen antiques and lots of books. Outside you have an east-facing stone terrace and a courtyard for barbecues, then a fecund kitchen garden with apple and pear trees. With a bit of notice you can have a delicious home cooked meal using the farm's organic produce.
Walks and cycles along relatively traffic-free roads and footpaths will take you through verdant countryside, there's a pool planned for spring 2027.
