La Sabliere is a charming Charentaise farmhouse believed to date back some 180 years, 4 km from the village of Amailloux.
It sits in its own courtyard encircled by the barns and stables bearing testimony to its position in the past as a market place for local peasant farmers to meet and trade their wares.
Behind the old cow barn in a secluded corner nestles a small pond inhabited by carp and frogs, where you are invited to relax with a book or sit and watch the buzzards ride the thermals overhead.
As the sun sets in the evening, enjoy a game of boules in the courtyard or feed the fish in the pond.
Choose either a double room or a twin bedded room, both with ensuite shower room and coffee & tea-making facilities.
Downstairs is small sitting room for guests.
Breakfast is offered in the salle a manger.
Optional evening meals can be taken outside under the willow and horse chestnut trees during the warm summer evenings.
The local village bar/restaurant provides a good choice of French dishes.
A no smoking policy operates in the house.
Explore the Deux-Sevres region from the gateway to Anjou in the north to the marshes of Poitou in the south, with its rich architectural heritage framed in lush valleys criss-crossed by rivers and streams.
