About this property

l'épicerie de Madeleine: a unique experience in a setting of character

  • THE E GITE "L'ÉPICERIE DE MADELEINE": The ideal place for a UNIQUE experience in a setting of character! This haven of peace is located in the centre of the Deux Sèvres in a small town in the south of Gâtine, as close as possible to nature: the whole family (and your pets) in an intimate and totally secure environment
    Nestled near Parthenay (medieval town) of Niort and the Poitevin marshes, near a golf course (6 km). You will also have access to the large amusement parks (1 hour by car: the Puy du Fou, the Futuroscope) and beautiful forests (Chizé and Mervent-Vouvant)
    Our family cottage welcomes you for an idyllic stay: you will be enveloped in comfort "like at home"

    IMAGINE YOURSELF IN A GREEN SETTING, appreciating
    The sunny courtyard (200m2) protected from outside eyes
    The large paved courtyard, the table and the barbecue
    The orchard garden, enclosed and shaded (1200 m2) totally fenced: the singing of the birds will accompany your moments of relaxation

    Inside your estate (only for you!)
    Ground floor: Entrance with cloakroom, gas boiler and service equipment
    Warm living room (39 m2) with the equipped kitchen, the living room with TV and fibre connection
    shower room, integrated toilet
    The landing floor with library, indoor games, ironing equipment
    Bedroom (3 beds of 90) and the master suite bed 160, storage space and private bathroom with WC.
    The house is entirely non-smoking: clean air for all... PGJyPg
    A GREEN HOUSE WHY? In our country, nature is close, diversity is totally respected: the courtyard and the landscaped garden have not been used for more than 50 years, birds and bats are welcomed and have their own spaces"L'ÉPICERIE DE MADELEINE" WHY?PGJyPg
    "L'ÉPICERIE DE MADELEINE" why? The stay of the cottage was for more than a century (before 1876 - after 1976) the supermarket, haberdashery, tobacco shop of the village, run by the mother of the current owner from 1916 to 1976 before being converted into a family home and then as a cottage to welcome you and allow you to live a rare experience.

    Comment
    L'Epicerie de Madeleine is a haven of peace with an incredible garden animated by the singing of birds!
    The accommodation is spacious, warm and very well equipped, nothing is missing!
    We were able to enjoy the outdoors and the barbecue, a real plus.
    Mr Sibileau is a responsive and caring owner. And we really appreciated the contact with Jacqueline who was present for the welcome and departure.
    We will definitely come back and we highly recommend this beautiful cottage!

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour en famille au gîte de l’Epicerie de la Madeleine.La maison est très jolie et pleine de charme et surtout elle reste fraîche même en cas de forte chaleur.Tout est fonctionnel et pratique, nous avons très vite trouvé nos marques. Les enfants ont bien profité également des jeux et livres mis à disposition. Pour finir, le préau et le jardin sont vraiment un l’ atout de cette maison. Nous avons pris tous nos repas à l’ombre à l’extérieur et les enfants et notre chien ont bien couru dans le jardin !Les échanges avec Raymond et Jacqueline ont été rapides et efficaces !Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés !
