An exceptional property
Sincere thanks for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. Situated in a quiet village a short drive from Poitiers, La Valette is a chateau full of character and charm set in a beautiful parkland. The house easily accommodated our family group of 7 adults and 4 teens, with room to spare for half a dozen more. Rooms were furnished comfortably and sympathetically in keeping with the magnificence and charm of the house. The kitchen was amply equipped with everything we needed to cater for our large group.
Above all, we loved the outdoor space, large gardens and woodland to the front and rear, together a small pool and a well-maintained tennis court. We didn't really got round to using the bikes or the table tennis/table football in the games room, but made good use of the football goals and badminton net in the grounds. Nearby, the Lac de St Cyr provided great swimming opportunities for the boys, as well as kayak & pedalo hire, and a aquapark to amuse the family. The nearest town, Poitiers, is a charming place to explore and Futuroscope (one of France's most famous theme parks) is only a 10 minute drive away and great fun. Thank you to our wonderful hosts for a lovely holiday. It truly was a privilege to stay. We cannot recommend it highly enough.
