At the heart of Taire du Grel, you will find this pretty traditional stone house. It has a private balcony surrounded by wisteria and overlooks the gardens and courtyard, with views of the forest-covered hills.
The balcony has a table and chairs, the ideal place to watch the hot air balloons pass in the early evening and the starry sky at nightfall.
The courtyard terrace is equipped with tables and chairs and a barbecue, the garden beyond has a picnic table and swing bench.
The large swimming pool is shared with the two other gîtes, and is surrounded by deck chairs and parasols and overlooks lawns and fruit trees.
Watch our free-range chickens explore the gardens, and enjoy the play area with table tennis, a giant trampoline, swings, badminton and a tire monster.
