Le bois attenant à la propriété est gigantesque, les jardins sont pourvues de jeux pour enfants trampoline, balançoires et cage de football. La cuisine pourvoie tout l'équipement nécessaire à la préparation de repas qui raviront de grandes tablées. Toutes les chambres possédaient également un ventilateur ce qui nous a permis de supporter les deux jours de chaleurs de la semaine. Nous avons l'habitude de partir depuis bon nombre d'années en groupe d'ami et depuis peu se sont rajoutés les enfants (12 adultes et 7 enfants), rien n'a manqué à notre confort. ##### adrien l.

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. ##### Sarah W.

Las fotos coinciden totalmente con la realidad, si acaso se quedan algo cortas, todo es mucho mejor visto en persona; todo esta limpio y cuidado y la atención recibida de los propietarios ha sido encantadora. Nosotros lo recomendamos sin ninguna duda... Muchas gracias por todo. ##### Jose Maria S.

Encantadoras vacaciones en esta finca. Hemos pasado unos estupendos días alojados en esta mansión, con suficientes habitaciones para 16 personas (eramos 4 familias), y a una aceptable cercanía de los más importantes castillos del Loira. El "chateau" estaba perfectamente equipado, con un salón comedor con mesa amplia donde hemos disfrutado de unas cenas familiares entrañables y una espaciosa cocina, con todos los utensilios necesarios y una gran mesa de desayunos. !!Y con fresas recién cogidas del huerto!! También hemos tenido buenos paseos en bicicleta, o a pie por el encantador bosque de la propiedad. !!Una delicia!!! Lo recomendaremos. Muchas gracias a los propietarios. ##### ALFONSO A. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton Boston Park Plaza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boston-Hotels-Boston-Park-Plaza.h4215.Hotel-Information) > > [Burasari Phuket Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Burasari-Phuket-Resort-Spa.h1321278.Hotel-Information) > > [VILLA SA CALETA: 6 beds, 5 baths Front line Villa In Es Forti, Cala d´Or](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santanyi-Hotels-VILLA-SA-CALETA-6-Beds.h34167204.Hotel-Information) > > [Castle Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ross-On-Wye-Hotels-Castle-Lodge-Hotel.h4464517.Hotel-Information) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Chelmsford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chelmsford-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d11933--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Philharmonic Hall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Philharmonic-Hall-Hotels.0-l6155668-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Apartamento Coral, Holiday Apartment in Puerto Pollença](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pollensa-Hotels-Apartamento-Coral.h66700421.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Compton Verney House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compton-Verney-House-Hotels.0-l553248621555971583-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pure Blanche Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Antalya-Hotels-PURE-BLANCHE.h53315434.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hôtel Thalasso et Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saint-Jean-De-Luz-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Thalasso-Et-Spa.h694867.Hotel-Information) > > [Oceanfront Studio, Indoor water park, Pools, View!](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Indoor-Water-Park.h62612753.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Grand Hotel de la Plage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Biscarrosse-Hotels-Le-Grand-Hotel-De-La-Plage.h10035679.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Paris Louvre Opéra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Paris-Louvre-Opera.h1157096.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Puerto Plata](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Plata-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6048790-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Carvi Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagos-Hotels-Carvi-Beach-Hotel.h1124559.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Boston (BOS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/bos/manchester-to-boston) > > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Hannover (HAJ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/haj/newcastle-to-hannover) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Gaborone (GBE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/gbe/manchester-to-gaborone) > > [Flights from Paris (CDG) to Birmingham (BHX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cdg/bhx/paris-to-birmingham) > > [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to Kefalonia (EFL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/efl/glasgow-to-argostolion) ### Cars > [Car hire in Praslin Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Praslin-Island.d2874.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in Killarney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Killarney.d1823.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Kilifi County](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Kilifi-County.d553248635926568891.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Mermaid Quay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mermaid-Quay-Butetown.d6266738.Attraction) > > [Tomar Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tomar.d5728.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Horncliffe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horncliffe.dx6341480)
