Slow mornings, open skies, and the quiet charm of the French countryside define your stay in this peaceful holiday home in Frontenay-sur-Dive. Surrounded by greenery and far from the rush of city life, it offers a setting where you can truly switch off and enjoy a more grounded, nature-led experience. In the house, authentic details such as wooden support beams, natural stone walls and the centuries-old fireplace have been preserved.
The home is designed for comfort and ease, featuring a welcoming living area, a fully equipped kitchen, and thoughtfully arranged interiors that make group stays feel relaxed rather than structured. The sleeping arrangement can be found upstairs, spread across 2 bedrooms with a flexible bed setting in addition to a shared modern bathroom for ease. Additional features such as free Wi-Fi, parking, and other family-friendly amenities ensure a convenient stay.
Large outdoor spaces extend the experience beyond the walls, with a garden and terrace that invite long meals, conversations, and time spent outdoors. A highlight of the property is the outdoor swimming pool, complemented by a spacious garden and barbecue facilities, making it ideal for warm days and evenings spent outside.
Set in a nature-rich region, the property is close to a forest (4 km), a river (5 km), and a lake with a beach (10 km), while an organic garden just 150 m away offers fresh produce. The area is ideal for cycling, horse riding, and exploring vineyards, historic villages, and attractions like Futuroscope, Puy du Fou, Château d’Oiron, Les Trois Moutiers, and the Loire castles, making it a great base to experience authentic France.

Arrival/Location
Location and surroundings of object
This charming 18th-century estate consists of a main building (sleeping up to 8 guests) and two cottages/gites (each sleeping up to 4 guests), making it extremely suitable for several families travelling together.
There is space for 16 people in total.
But individually the holiday homes are great places to stay as well.
There is a communal garden, which is large enough to guarantee everybody's privacy.
Each accommodation also features a private terrace and entrance.
The estate is fully enclosed and has ample parking space.
The perfect place for people looking for peace and quiet. The direct surroundings are ideal for walking, cycling and the location also makes a good base for visits to the large variety of interesting sights in the area.
Major attractions include the castles and wineries of the Loire to the north and the Futuroscope amusement park to the south, but also the popular Puy du Fou theme park.
There's an organic garden at 150 metres of the estate (Les Trois Noyers). This garden is managed locally and it supplies quite a few restaurants throughout the region with its products. The garden features 130 different types of heirloom tomatoes as well as other fruit and vegetables. Products are for sale on site as well.
Charming small-scale holiday park on the edge of the authentic village of Fontenay Sur Dive. Centrally located in between Chinon and Poitiers.

Very good experience at Wendy's. Pleasant and calm setting. Welcoming and available host. There are several accommodations, but the layout allows for privacy. The children were able to play together. The pool is a major asset! Thank you for the stay and the little attentions.

A very friendly reception. A bottle of wine was ready. We were welcomed with a pastry. Super friendly owners. Received many tips for activities. The dog was very welcome. Fenced garden. Very quiet location. Ideal for visiting Futuroscope and Puy du Fou. Nice swimming pool.

We had a delightful stay in this charming cottage in Saint-Jean-de-Sauves! The mix of rustic elements like wooden beams and natural stone walls created such a cozy atmosphere. Our family loved spending evenings by the wood stove after exploring the nearby forest trails. The organic garden just down the road was a lovely touch, and we enjoyed cooking with fresh vegetables. I would recommend it without hesitation to families looking for a peaceful getaway!
Kobus
Everything about our stay was great! The hosts were hospitable, and the cottage had so much character thanks to the historical elements. We appreciated the proximity to local attractions and the peaceful surroundings.
