About this house rental

La Marlière is a charming traditional French stone house dating from 1730 set against a sunny and very private garden. Recently renovated to the highest level but still maintaining many of its original features. The house is situated on the edge of the village of Nueil sur Layon in a small commune originally created to serve the adjacent Chateau de la Grise. The village of Nueil is a short walk away and features a small supermarket, bar tabac, pharmacy, doctor’s office, post office, hairdressing salon and, of course, a bakery: can't you just taste those mouthwatering buttery croissants and freshly baked baguettes? The colourful garden is the perfect spot for relaxing with a glass of wine and a book or planning a day out at one of the many nearby attractions. Garden amenities include a stone built barbecue, comfortable seating for 8, deckchairs and umbrellas and outdoor dining table and chairs.Feel free to pick the roses which adorn both sides of the house and help yourself to anything from the abundant herb garden. Decorated with classic French furniture, with an emphasis on comfort, the large Sitting Room features oak beams and a dramatic stone fireplace, comfy sofas and an alternative dining area. A library of books and games is also available together with TV and WiFi. The large open kitchen/dining area features a dining area and sitting area together with all the modern conveniences whilst still adhering to the French philosophy of making this a convivial space where everyone gathers to cook, eat or just relax with a glass of wine.
The Blue Bedroom with its high beamed ceiling and decorative fireplace is furnished with classic French furniture, silk carpets and has a walk-in closet. The king size bed is made up with fine linens and there are lots of fluffy towels in the ensuite bathroom ensuring that you get the luxury hotel feel - we even provide toiletries, robes, slippers and a hair dryer. The Coral Bedroom is equally elegant and also has a king size bed (both kings can be converted into twin beds) and walk-in closet. The ensuite travertine-tiled walk-in shower room adds a modern touch of luxury. Windows on either side of each bedroom provide good cross ventilation and views over the garden and nearby vineyards. The bedrooms are separated by a gallery corridor for added privacy and downstairs, leading from the lobby, is a Mudroom with washer and dryer and a stylish little Powder Room. Carefully chosen artwork and objets d'art give the house that little something extra not usually found in rental properties.

We spent a very hot week in this lovely house. Liz has extremely good taste and has furnished all the rooms in her own particular style with great attention to detail. As it has very thick stone walls we were extremely comfortable and cool. The house is very well-equipped and we lacked nothing! The garden is beautiful with roses everywhere and numerous seating areas, our particular favourite in the heat being under the large pine tree! Liz and Ronnie were excellent hosts and we thoroughly recommend this property for anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing holiday in a wonderful house amidst the attractive vineyards.

Upon arrival, we were wowed by the stunning design and decor of the home, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The bedrooms were spacious and cozy, the kitchen fully equipped. The outdoor space, with a lovely garden and outdoor room, was a highlight. Not to mention the library in the living room stocked with English books, a delight for every anglophile 😉 The location is perfect for a tranquil getaway, offering the opportunity to unwind, visit the local museums with their private collections – which harbor some truly exceptional pieces of art - , explore some absolutely fascinating castles and last but not least indulge in some fine wine. And a big shoutout to Liz for offering to step in to help without any hesitation as soon as she heard about our car trouble. We look forward to returning in the future.

As they say, "less is more" and superb describes every aspect of our stay at La Marliere. The house is sumptuous and you will not want for anything. The location is excellent for either relaxing in the garden or visit/trips to dine or for just a gentle meander through the countryside and villages. Liz and Ronnie are simply fabulous hosts with the warmest of welcomes and fondly remembered farewells. Strongly Recommended.
