The Gîtes

Arbre de Cerise is a beautiful, 400 year old farmhouse that has been lovingly restored and converted into two available gîtes.

Set in almost an acre of land, the gîtes are surrounded by sunflower and poppy fields and look out on to the peaceful, grassed courtyard where our majestic cherry tree stands – providing stunning blossom in early Spring, an abundance of cherries in May and cooling shade in the height of Summer.

Holiday Gite Vienne - AlFresco Dining

 

Both gîtes have been refurbished to provide a high-quality, comfortable and well equipped living space and they contain Wifi, flat-screen TVs, satellite television channels, dvd players, iPod music systems and each gîte has its own bbq and outside dining area. There is a separate laundry facility on site should you wish to use it. Exposed stone walls, oak beams, 18th Century fireplace and a host of other original features lend charm and character to these properties.

Arbre de Cerise is child-friendly and the pool conforms to French legal safety standards. Cots, highchairs and stair-gates are available upon request.

The main N10 highway linking Paris to Spain is close by, thereby providing excellent road links. The closest northern port is at Caen which is a 4 hour drive. Calais is about 6 hours away and the nearest airport is 40 minutes away at Poitiers. 90 minutes away are the airports of Limoges, La Rochelle and Bordeaux.

We welcome you and your family to Arbre de Cerise, in the heart of rural France, and trust you will have a wonderful holiday.
