Steeped in a rich history, this grand house was constructed during the reign of Louis XIV and has been inhabited by nobles, merchants and traders throughout the centuries. It has been professionally renovated & regenerated by the present owners to fulfill the high standards of present day living. The property is skirted by the Compostella Pilgrims’ route & the owners have chosen to take advantage of this by running a hugely successful Chambres d’Hotes welcoming walkers from around the world into their home during the summer months.
The Manor House has retained its period atmosphere and boasts a wealth of original features; oak carved internal doors and paneling, period fireplaces, exposed beamed ceilings and a wide oak staircase, whilst offering the comforts of modern life; mains gas central heating and seven large en-suite bedrooms, all with “power showers”. The private grounds of 2 100m² include intimate courtyards, sunny terraces and a large terraced swimming pool.
