House with character, Next to Le Perche, between Alençon and Le Mans
France, Pays de la Loire - Sarthe
Best points about the property:
" Located on a 50 acres park, the 17th century house is part of the former outbuildings of Château de Vaux. Centuries old reclaimed materials and traditional craftmanship, sophisticated interior design and vintage furniture make for a charming and comfortable retreat. Spacious living room with high ceilings and a large traditional chimney, 3 bedrooms for up to 6 people (extra bed avalaible), 2 bathrooms. Fully equiped kitchen and access to organic kitchen garden. BBQ and deckchairs. All included : bed sheets, bath, hand and tea towels but also seasoning, hygiene and cleaning products provided, wood for fireplace and house cleaning after check-out. Kids and babies are welcome (ask us for free crib, stroller, etc.) Ideally located between the Loire Valley and Normandy, we are 7 miles off the historic city of Alençon, 1/2h from the legendary Le Mans race track and 2h from Paris, Mount St Michel or the D-Day landing beaches....
