About this house rental
Surrounded by acres of private grounds, mature trees and wonderful vistas around every corner, Chapeau is the ideal place to get away from it all.
Enter through the gates, along the winding wooded drive and leave the outside world behind you. This idyllic rural location is peaceful and private, yet just a five minute stroll to the local village past the neighbouring medieval chateau.
The local village offers a small general store which sells fresh bread/ croissants etc from local boulangeries, a delicatessen selling locally produced meat, 2 traditional French restaurants, one with a small bar.
There is also a village tennis court available for use.
The private pool receives the sun all day and the terraces are positioned to provide the choice between sun or natural shade.
There are large wooden tables with benches and chairs for eating al fresco in the warm summer evenings and you can choose to cook on the coal BBQ or if you're feeling adventurous, the wood pizza oven.
The manor house has retained it's authentic french interior with all of the quirks this brings, from sloping wooden floors to colourful bathrooms and rustic outside areas.
The spacious accommodation is beautifully furnished and well equipped. There are 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms in the main house, with a maximum occupancy of 13.
Please note that we live in a converted barn next to the house.

A lovely old house, full of character and original features. The photos do not do justice to this lovely place. Very well equipped kitchen, even a wine fridge! Pool was great and had the sun all day until early evening. The trampoline was used A Lot by the kids as was the tv room. There was a cupboard full of games and dvds. A lovely living room though we were most of time around the massive kitchen table or out on the terrace after dinner. Loads of parking and very peaceful. The owners are next door and are smashing, and very helpful on a number of occasions. A short walk into Badefols-d’Ans (10 mins) with a tabac shop and bar and 2 super restaurants and a very good pizza takeout. BBQ and pizza oven on the patio (both used and great) a short drive to Hautefort for supermarket and bakery. 5 bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs. 2 rooms with en-suite. Would recommend unreservedly. We were 8 adults and 3 children (7,3,2) and it was perfect.

I organised this trip to celebrate my 70th birthday with my extended family. We had a wonderful time. The period features of this property were lovely. We spent a lot of time in and around the property relaxing and enjoying each others company. Children and grandchildren loved the pool and we all enjoyed having our meals outside on the terrace. The owners were really welcoming and friendly and our grandchildren really enjoyed playing with their children. Thank you for an amazing holiday.

Very clean and well equipped property. Well maintained pool in very attractive setting. Close to the village with shop and bar. Good shaded outside area for eating.
A couple of niggles - weren't expecting to pay extra for house towels. We had the pool heated for the second week as we had a toddler staying but the temperature didn't seem to rise much for the extra 50euros. The outside cushions were definitely passed their best. Overall a good place to stay with very helpful owners.
