Maison Zenith - Cinq Chambres Villa, Couchages 10

If you are looking for a gorgeous house, garden and heated swimming pool which have been brilliantly designed for sociable living with family or friends, Maison Zenith is a wonderful holiday home in the Vendée department, around an hour from Nantes and the Loire River.

This spacious family home has been recently renovated to a high standard retaining much of its character with exposed stone walls and wood beams alongside chic furnishings and touches of contemporary style. There are two welcoming lounges, one either side of the entrance hallway, whilst the heart of the home is the brilliantly equipped kitchen-diner with sliding windows opening out to the terrace and views all the way to the end of the vast garden.

Scattered across the two floors, find five bedrooms with king-size double beds (two of which can be converted into twins), alongside four bathrooms (three of them en suite or private) with bath and/or walk-in showers, some of which with bold tiling to add to the house’s modern style.

Bordering a river’s edge, the outdoor space is simply fantastic with pretty patios for a quiet coffee, larger terraces for al-fresco dining and sun-bathing alongside a pergola close to the river for picturesque views of the flora and fauna around you. The heated swimming pool is glorious for warm summer days and there is ample room across the terraced and sloping gardens for relaxing in the sun or playing with family and friends.

Cycle to the local village for your morning croissants and fresh bread or drive a little further to Les Herbiers for restaurants, shops, a twice-weekly food market as well as old windmills and lovely walks through the park. Embrace the natural surroundings of La Cité des Oiseaux, a paradise for bird-watchers, potter around the historic towns of Cholet or La Roche-sur-Yon and spend the day at one of Europe’s most famous theme parks, Puy du Fou.

The atmospheric city of Nantes awaits for a superb day out or venture towards Angers and Saumur by the banks of the Loire River. You can also reach the coast from here – in just over an hour you could be exploring the sweeping beaches of the Atlantic around the seaside resorts of Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie and La Tranche-sur-Mer.

Location:

Such a beautiful setting surrounded by glorious gardens that slope down to a river, Maison Zenith is set in a small hamlet in the Vendée department around an hour south-east of Nantes and the Loire River. The famous theme park, Puy du Fou, is only a 15-minute drive away.

The nearest boulangerie is in the local village just over 5km (a short drive or cycle ride) whilst further amenities can be found in Les Herbiers (12km), home to several restaurants including options for fine-dining and a twice-weekly indoor food market.

With fantastic walking and hiking opportunities as well as bird-watching, this is a fantastic region for nature lovers – the vast La Cité des Oiseaux (12km) is not to be missed. You can also admire the old windmills north of Les Herbiers at Moulin Mont des Alouettes and look out for events taking place at the large medieval castle, Château Tiffauges.

The attractive town of Cholet (32km) is known for its annual festivities, Museum of Art and History and textile heritage whilst historic La Roche-sur-Yon (40km) is home to the Haras de la Vendée equestrian centre. One of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, Vouvant (50km), with its charming riverside setting, is located in the Vendée.

Nantes (58km) is a wonderful day out, a bustling city by the banks of the Loire River. Head to the city’s covered food market which is open six mornings a week, visit the Musée d'arts and enjoy a glass of muscadet or a traditional crepe in an atmospheric city café. Explore by the banks of the river and take a walk through the tropical Jardin Extraordinaire.

The riverside city of Angers (99km) is another highlight of this part of France, as is Saumur (108km), with its sparkling white wine and Cadre Noir equestrian school. Rochemenier Village Troglodytique (93km) and Fontevraud-l'Abbaye (118km) could also be reached for an amazing day out.

In the other direction, just over an hour away, is the Vendée coastline and traditional seaside towns including Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie (75km) and La Tranche-sur-Mer (81km) alongside a sweeping coastline of Atlantic beaches, surfing and other watersport opportunities.
