swimming pool area (with child safety lock). The four large bedrooms, three
doubles and one children's twin room (which also has a selection of toys
and games) are comforatbly furnished. The master bedroom has an

glassware and cutlery needed for a very comfortable stay (childrens colourful plastic plates, cups and cutlery also provided).
Two of the double rooms at the rear of the villa have twin patio doors opening out onto a large wooden deck which overlooks the
absolutely beautiful pool area.
This beautiful cottage can be let separately or together with the luxury villa. Just the two properties share this stunning location with
its fabulous pool and gardens. Hameau des Martres is set outside the rural village of Le Gicq in the Charente Maritime department
of the Poitou Charente in western France. An easy drive to the coast and beaches yet set in a stunning location, completely
surrounded by open fields. The cottage sleeps 5 in 3 bedrooms, 2 doubles and a childrens' single room. It has a full modern
bathroom with bath and shower attachment, basin and toilet, with loads of hot water and excellent pressure. The cottage is stylishly
decorated and furnished in a modern style. It does however retain its 200 yr old charm and character with its charentaise fireplace,
exposed stone walls and original oak beams. The spacious kitchen area has plenty of cupboard space and worktop and is well
equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, refrigerator, gas oven, grill, 4 ring hob, toaster and microwave plus all crockery and
cutlery required for a comfortable self catering holiday. There are two leather sofas and a dining table for 5 in the open plan
downstairs. It has off road parking and a spacious front terrace area for outdoor dining with wooden garden table, chairs, parasol
and barbecue.
The entire pool area is walled, with self-locking gates and the pool is sensitivity alarmed for the safety of children. The pool itself
is heated and 12m x 5 m with a gently sloping beach style entrance so that the little ones can also play safely (with supervision
naturally). There is plenty of room around the pool area for sunbathing and relaxing. Ample loungers and chairs are provided.
The pool area also has a covered 'gazebo' in case you need a little shade. A modern teak table, chairs and parasol are also
provided for those lazy lunches by the pool or
tails at the end of the day to watch the amazing and uninterrupted views of the
fabulous sunsets (a real feature of this villa). The villa is the owners' second home. It is therefore finished, furnished and
decorated to a very high standard. Consequently it has a real 'home away from home' feel to it. There is a huge terrace area for
sunbathing and has beautifully exotic plantings all around. The views are simply stunning and the unspoilt sunsets incredible.
There is a large field with trees at the rear, a perfect place for the children to play in safety.
