About this property
Wooden cottage on stilts
At the gates of Niort and the Marais Poitevin, our cottage, labeled 2 ears at Gîte de France and 2 stars in the prefecture, has been open since July 2013. It is perched on a hill and welcomes you all year round for short and medium stays.
You will have the feeling of living away from everything. The sounds of the leaves and the Sèvre niortaise will be your company, during the beautiful evenings, sitting on the suspended terrace of the chalet which dominates the workspace of our breeding of Shetland ponies.
With all the comfort, our cottage is furnished with a living room with fitted kitchen, 1 bedroom with 1 double bed, 1 bedroom with 2 single beds, 1 shower room and 1 WC. It is ideal for holidays or a family weekend. Young and old will enjoy our playground.
