About this property

La Villa Des Licoches

Recently renovated, this former 13th century building is situated at the end of the hamlet of Retournay, inhabited by the 2 owners. The gîte is situated on the border between the Vienne and Deux-Sèvres departments, in the centre of the 4 main regional attractions: the Futuroscope, the Chateaux de la Loire, the Marais Poitevin and the Puy du Fou.
A 1st category river, the Dive, crosses the property between the poplar trees. The villa at Licoches benefits from the charm of the location and the architecture of the small listed 16th century manor house. It is accessible from various urban centres: Poitiers-Paris by TGV (1h30). Poitiers is a 30-minute drive away, while La Rochelle and Nantes are 1.5 hours away.

Total floor area of 165 m² spread over 2 floors.
On the ground floor, the entrance hall, the main room of 65m2, with its kitchen area (dishwasher, cooker and extractor fan, fridge-freezer), has a large fireplace, stone tiles and underfloor heating, a bathroom with linen and a separate toilet.
Upstairs, a large corridor with poplar parquet flooring leads to 4 bedrooms with single or double beds, a bathroom with shower and bath and a separate WC.

Terrace of 150 m2 with tables and parasols, barbecue, games room (table tennis, shuffleboard, frog games) and field for ball games, with the possibility of creating a tree house for the children.

Independent parking for 4 vehicles with direct access to the gîte.

Related: For larger groups, additional chambres d'hôtes available in Marnes.

A superb property in stunning surroundings
What a great place to stay ! Perfect for us and our friends, we had two excellent weeks in the company of Hilaire and Genevieve at La Villa Des Licoches who made our stay very special. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again in future years.

Le silence absolu
Un havre de paix dans un coin verdoyant de la campagne sévrienne. Maison complète et bien équipée; l'orientation, l'ombre et les murs épais permettent de survivre une canicule aisément. Les propriétaires sont aimables et discrets, leur petit chateau avoisinant ajoute un saveur d'histoire et de culture bien apprécié.

Großes, schönes Ferienhaus
Das Ferienhaus liegt ganz am Anfang des Gebäudekomplexes. Sie zeichnet sich durch Größe und schönen Materialien aus. Obwohl wir zu Beginn Bedenken hatten wie wir uns versorgen könnten verflogen diese schnell als wir in Airvault alles Wichtige fanden. Für mich sind das Boulangerie/Patisserie, Hypermarche und Boucher sowie einen lokalen Markt. Obwohl das Ferienhaus landschaftlich sehr schön lag (an einem kleinen Fluss) war die Internet Verbindung zufriedenstellend. Die Vermieter waren sehr hilfsbereit. Wir können diese Location ohne Einschränkungen weiterempfehlen.

Un endroit paisible et pleins de ressources cachées
Une ancienne dépendance restaurée magnifiquement. Il s'agit vraiment d'un gite avec un confort d'hôtel 5 étoiles. Pour les amoureux de nature, de plantes, de potager, de petites balades en bords de rivières ce gite vous plaira à coup sur. Les enfants avaient un espace à perte de vue pour jouer et si cela ne suffisait pas à 3km se trouve un lac avec une plage et pleins d activités pour petits et grands. Pour ceux qui aiment le tourisme paisible et doux c'est une excellente destination. Les propriétaires sont autant gentils que discrets.
