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.

Ewout Kwawegen
Very pleasant experience in Frontenay sur Dive. Nice and cozy little house with a lovely terrace under a large fig tree. The dog had plenty of space in the enclosed garden. Enjoyed the swimming pool. Beautiful rural surroundings where you can look for kilometers without your eye hitting anything. From a historical perspective, also a particularly interesting area. Very hospitable owner.
Marjolein Weerlee

Beautiful house, good atmosphere and relaxed and friendly owners.
Johan Remijnse
Beautiful nature and real French culture.
Jacob Lange
Nice old part of a farm, a part in the house and two separate houses. Have cycled a lot but electrically because it is up and down a hill. Very quiet area.
