Two gites located side by side in a medieval village with private heated pool.

Accommodation for up to 7 people in two charming gites situated side by side in a medieval village courtyard with a private pool in a sunny enclosed garden. For parties of up to 5 people the larger gite can be booked separately. In this case the smaller gîte will not be booked to ensure your complete privacy.

Our gites are situated in the centre of an historic village opposite the medieval castle keep ( Le Donjon) and the church. The gîtes are found in the courtyard of a former hotel (the main house where we live) and provide ample parking, a large enclosed garden with a private, child friendly pool (8 x 4.5 metres). A spacious decking area surrounds the pool with a seating area, sun loungers and parasol.

The courtyard is fully enclosed for privacy and safety of children and dogs. There is a small patio area directly outside each gîte, perfect for morning coffees and afternoon drinks. For lunches and evening meals take advantage of the covered BBQ and dining area with seating for up to 8 people.

The larger of the two gites is very spacious. The open planned ground floor consists of a large lounge area, a dining area and a well equipped gallery style kitchen. There are two ensuite bedrooms, the master has a double bed and the other has a single bed and bunk beds. A travel cot and highchair can be provided if required.


The smaller gite offers an upstairs double ensuite bedroom and the ground floor has it's own kitchen and lounge area, ideal for providing independence from the main gite.

The village offers good facilities within walking distance with a well stocked small supermarket providing freshly baked baguettes. There is a small bar, a pizza restaurant / takeaway, a highly regarded traditional French restaurant, a pharmacy, a hairdressers, an opticians and English speaking doctors. The historic castle and medeival gardens are open to the public for a nominal fee and are well worth a visit. (https://bazoges-en-pareds.fr/fr/rb/74934/donjon-jardin-musee)
