Your getaway holiday home in France
4,8 ★ Airbnb rated superhost
Welcome at La maison des douves
A beautifully renovated barn, hosted by an English couple in the heart of the Deux-Sèvres. Translated, La maison des douves means “The Moat House” we are lucky enough to have an original moat, (which has deep water and no fences) stone archway and fireplaces which date from at least the 17th Century. There are a wealth of original features which have been taken into consideration during this sympathetic renovation.
You can enjoy the tranquillity of the large garden and courtyard area. This getaway is perfect for a family or two couples who want to experience authentic rural France in modern-day comfort. It is a perfect base for relaxing and taking a break at your own pace, or for something a little more energetic or adventurous. We’d love to welcome you soon.
