Cottage in the countryside with pool near the Marais Poitevin
At the edge of the charming and peaceful village of Xaintray, near the Marais Poitevin, the the Mélissière is a little paradise to relax, rest, away from the stress and continuing agitation.
The House of Margot is the former bread oven in the house Mélissière.
It is in the courtyard of the house and ensures peace and quiet for the whole family. Fully restored respecting the regional tradition, this stone country house offers a living area of 110 sqm and can accommodate up to 9 people.
On the ground floor, fitted 28 m² kitchen, toilet, bedroom 20 m² with 160x200 bed and toilet / shower room. Upstairs large living room of 40 m² with two sofa beds in 140 and a sitting area with bed 90X200, toilet, bedroom 20 m² with bed 160x200 and cot, toilet / shower room.
The pool is fully secure (fence to standards NF) has comfortable proportions (10 m X 5 m - depth from 120 to 180) and offers all the joys of swimming. Terrace 2 m 2 m 50 wide will allow you to enjoy the sunshine on the sun beds around. The pool is shared with the guests of the Logis de la Mélissière.
