At a travel distance of just one day, you imagine yourself in another world because of the beautiful hilly landscape and quiet villages. The rural holiday home is located on a small-scale holiday domain with 2.5 hectares of garden and meadow bordered by a row of trees, located in the beautiful region of Le Berry (Indre/Centre-Val de Loire). This area, not yet discovered by mass tourism, is very attractive for walkers and cyclists, but also for people looking for peace and quiet. If you are interested in the area, there is plenty to see and do! Castles, fortresses, gardens, museums, lakes, too many to mention. In the summer there are various musical performances (including Chopin festival) but the three-day musical event in Château d'Ars is also worth a visit. People from all over the world come here to show their talents on old musical instruments.
Domaine Pouzoult is a small ensemble consisting of three buildings, including our house and two large barns. It is originally an old farm and here and there you can still find the original elements. We suspect that the whole is 180 - 200 years old. One of the barns consists of three parts, two of which are private (workshop and garden attributes storage). The third part has been transformed into a cottage/gîte of 55m2. The entrance to this holiday home is on the side where the private terrace is. Because it is more or less separated from the rest in this way, it seems as if you live there alone. There is plenty of space to park your car.
The house located in lieu-dit Pouzoult belongs to the municipality of Sazeray, a small village with 320 inhabitants. In the nearby village of St. Sévère sur Indre you have a bakery, butcher, post office, a small supermarket and a restaurant where you can eat deliciously. It is also possible to rent bicycles there. The village of Sazeray unfortunately has few facilities, but it does have an epicerie with a depôt du pain and some items for daily use.
Our holiday home is carefully furnished and equipped with every comfort. You have a well-equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, espresso machine, kettle, oven and microwave. Kitchen linen is provided by us. A large dining table is located near the kitchen area.
The holiday home has a spacious living room, with a cozy sitting area (sofa and two chairs) near the original fireplace with wood stove. A small bookcase, some side tables and a television (canal digital) complete the whole. The wifi is free.
A narrow iron spiral staircase leads to the bedroom floor. There is a comfortable double bed. There is plenty of closet space, including various hooks for hanging towels and/or clothes. We have two airy bathrobes available, which guests can use. The beds are made before arrival and the bath towels are ready for you. The en-suite bathroom has two sinks and a spacious rain shower. The toilet is located separately. (narrow passage).
Good to know: the spiral staircase is narrow (52 cm) and not suitable for people with walking difficulties. The passage to the toilet is 41 cm.
In front of the house is a private terrace that overlooks a row of trees and the land. Sun loungers, parasol and a dining table with two chairs are waiting for you. You will also find a nice fire pit in the garden with funny beach chairs from which you can view the Milky Way when it is dark. Fancy a game of pétanque? That is also possible! The balls are already ready. A little further away, at the end of our meadow we have made a small terrace with an old station bench on it. From here you have a beautiful view of the valley. Lovely place to sit down with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.
Our gîte is a so-called 'adults only' location and unfortunately, pets are not allowed.
