In detail

It has four large bedrooms, three doubles and one children's twin room (which also has a selection of toys and games). The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room with mosaic tiling. The main bathroom, once again with mosaic tiles, is huge with an enormous 270 L bath. There is a spacious lounge which has windows looking south over the village of Le Gicq and plenty of comfortable seating for all. There is also a DVD player and small selection of films.

The contemporary open plan kitchen / diner has stunning views, particularly of the amazing sunsets. It is extremely well equipped with a double fridge freezer, large stainless steel Range cooker with electric oven/grill plus 6 ring gas hob (including a wok burner) with stainless steel extractor. Matching stainless steel dishwasher, microwave, toaster, electric kettle etc. plus all crockery, glassware and cutlery needed for a very comfortable stay (childrens colourful plastic plates, cups and cutlery also provided).

Two of the double rooms at the rear of the villa have twin patio doors opening out onto a large wooden deck which overlooks the absolutely beautiful pool area.

The entire pool area is walled, with self-locking gates and the pool is sensitivity alarmed for the safety of children. The pool itself is a large 12m x 5 m and is gently sloping (beach style) so that the little ones can also play safely (with supervision naturally). There is plenty of room around the pool area for sunbathing and relaxing. Ample loungers and chairs are provided. The pool area also has a covered 'gazebo' in case you need a little shade. A modern teak table, chairs and parasol are also provided for those lazy lunches by the pool or cocktails at the end of the day to watch the amazing and uninterrupted views of the fabulous sunsets (a real feature of this villa).

The villa is the owners' second home. It is therefore finished, furnished and decorated to a very high standard. Consequently it has a real 'home away from home' feel to it.
