About this property

Surrounded by acres of private grounds, mature trees and wonderful vistas around every corner, Chapeau is the ideal place to get away from it all.
Enter through the gates, along the winding wooded drive and leave the outside world behind you. This idyllic rural location is peaceful and private, yet just a five minute stroll to the local village past the neighbouring medieval chateau.
The local village offers a small general store which sells fresh bread/ croissants etc from local boulangeries, a delicatessen selling locally produced meat, 2 traditional French restaurants, one with a small bar.
There is also a village tennis court available for use.
The private pool receives the sun all day and the terraces are positioned to provide the choice between sun or natural shade.
There are large wooden tables with benches and chairs for eating al fresco in the warm summer evenings and you can choose to cook on the coal BBQ or if you're feeling adventurous, the wood pizza oven.
The manor house has retained it's authentic french interior with all of the quirks this brings, from sloping wooden floors to colourful bathrooms and rustic outside areas.
The spacious accommodation is beautifully furnished and well equipped. There are 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms in the main house, with a maximum occupancy of 13.

Please note that we live in a converted barn next to the house.

Fabulous stay

We had the most wonderful stay with Jennifer and Tim. The property is located in a charming village with picturesque views and a stunning pool. The house has lots of different areas so even though we were a lot of people we never felt that we were getting on top of each other. Tim and Jennifer were so helpful and kind and always happy to answer questions. We highly recommend Chapeau!

a wonderful stay

Upon arrival we immediately felt at home and personally I fell a little bit in love with this beautiful property. You will find in Jennifer and Tim (and daughters) wonderful hosts who will make sure you will have a splendid stay. The pool is excellent ( we played a lot of volleybal) we loved sitting in the grand kitchen at night (as it was still a bit cold outside) and play games and relax. The pizzaoven: YES!! Absolute must-do! The house has a lot of character and you may notice here and there that it has been around for quite some time but for us that added to our 10 out of 10 experience we had as a group. We could not have picked a better place to celebrate life with my parents, brothers and family.

Lovely house, pool and owners

Even though we rented in late september, the owners went out of their way to heat the pool and give us some swim days. Also came up with a heater for the 3 year olds room. Charming house.
