Self-catering holiday rental accommodation in the Vendee, France - heated swimming pool, superior quality, beautiful environment in grounds of ancient watermill, close to beaches

warm welcome to Puyrouzeau, a beautifully located property in the South Vendée, surrounded by countryside, with no neighbours. Standing in its own grounds of about four acres the property comprises various traditional stone buildings positioned around a (now disused) two hundred year old watermill. A perfect environment for a memorable, peaceful and relaxing holiday!

At Puyrouzeau we offer quality self-catering accommodation with exclusive use of a luxurious swimming pool in an unrivalled secluded and tranquil countryside setting, appealing to discerning families and groups seeking a special environment for their holiday. The rental property is an exceptionally spacious 5-bedroom converted Miller's Barn - the stone coloured building visible to the left of the ivy-clad house, the on-site owner's home, in the aerial image shown above. In the peak weeks of July and August, we require that both the gite and annexe are booked together. Outside of this period the booking of the 2- bedroomed gite annexe is entirely optional.

Why come to the Vendée?
Many people come to the Vendée because of the climate which offers more reliable, warmer weather than other parts of France. Then there's the varied choice of golden sandy beaches of the Atlantic Coast.

Why stay at Puyrouzeau?
It's the best of both worlds, an idyllic away-from-it-all location yet conveniently close to local shopping facilities. And research has shown that L'Heron in terms of it's location, proximity to beaches, and overall quality - internally and externally - compares very favourably with other gîtes in the Vendée offering similar accommodation and exclusive use of pool. In short, Puyrouzeau represents better value-for-money for those seeking something out of the ordinary.

The Vendée is best known for its sunny climate, clear blue skies and fabulous sandy beaches. Situated near St Jean de Beugne, ten minutes drive from Lucon and the nearest hypermarket, Puyrouzeau is brilliantly placed for accessing the stunning beaches at La Tranche and Ile d'Ré, fashionable La Rochelle with its harbourside cafés and restaurants, the verdant scenery of the Haut Bocage and the unique waterways of the Marais Poitevin. Major attractions like Futuroscope and Puy du Fou are less than an hour away. Added to that, there are interesting historical towns, markets, shopping centres, châteaux, museums, zoos, aquariums and a wide range of sporting venues including golf, tennis, riding and, of course, on-site fishing!

Another good reason for choosing Puyrouzeau as your holiday destination is that we are very accessible. A comfortable driving distance from the ferry ports (only 3 hours from St Malo); About 45 minutes from La Rochelle (Stansted) and Nantes (Gatwick) Airports; Only 5 mins. from Junction 7 of the A83 motorway.
