Ancien Pavillon de Chasse Situé Dans une Campagne Paisible .

Pictaveau Wood: former hunting lodge bought in 1850, is now managed by the 4th generation of the family's owners. Designed 'upside down' with the front of the house where the back would usually be, so the front overlooks the countryside (perfectly logical if you're hunting!) and well away from a road with little traffic allows for perfect secluded tranquillity, for quality family time. With its 9 bedrooms and sleeping capacity for 14-16 people (seated for dinner) inside and in the park, this is an authentic French family home ideal for like-minded groups or families who want to take a break. Although rural and secluded, the nearest town is less than 3km away and has everything you'll need on a daily basis, while the surroundings are mostly flat: ideal for cycling and rural: ideal for bird watching, fishing, etc. *Poitiers, a much larger cultural city with a lot of history, is only a little over an hour away by car and has a good selection of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and beautiful architecture: * Church of Notre Dame la Grande (An amazing masterpiece of ancient architecture. A must see - full of atmosphere and mystery) * St. Peter's Cathedral (built by Eleanor of Aquitaine and her husband Henry II of England, with the most beautiful stained glass windows) Poitiers also has its share of beautiful green spaces like: * Parc de Blossac (A huge park with all kinds of things to see and do and a great view of the city. There is a small restaurant in the middle of the park that has been awarded a "certificate of excellence" * Roseraie Floral Park (A pretty rose garden and a place of tranquility right in the downtown!) Above all, Le Bois Pictaveau is an authentic large family home with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere for your enjoyment...
