Gite de l'Etang


Gîte de l'Etang

Self catering holidays in France with private fishing


La Germondière is a small close of just 4 properties, near to a thriving village in rural France. Our self-catering 2 bedroom gîte is located next to our 2 private fishing lakes, set within 10 acres of beautiful countryside in the Poitou-Charentes region of France.


Self-catering accommodation in the Gâtine countryside, yet only 1.5 miles from town. Despite its peaceful, rural ambience, Secondigny (pronounced suh-kon-dee-nee) has all the amenities you may require without having to stray too far. A supermarket, butcher, baker, fishmonger, newsagent, chemist, banks and hairdresser can all be found in Secondigny, and of course 2 or 3 bars and restaurants. As well as an outdoor swimming pool, mini golf, tennis and pedalo hire at our town campsite, which also has a great snack bar (takeaway food available also).


Yoga, tranquility, walking, painting, wildlife, photography, mindfulness, fishing or simply relaxing in the "sunniest region in Western France", our gîte in La Germondière is your ideal getaway.


We are pet friendly (see our Terms and Conditions) and we have an excellent English speaking Vet in Secondigny who can deal with the necessary pre-travel treatment(s). We've had dogs, cats, rabbits and a tortoise stay with us! We are primarily a child free zone, bookings with children are by exception only.


The gîte is traditional and rustic, with exposed beams, tiled flooring throughout, wood burner for those cooler periods, yet fully equipped for all your self-catering needs. UK TV, plus Free wifi access too.


No swimming pool, but you are welcome to swim in the larger lake (we do!).




A 2 bedroom ground floor gîte situated overlooking the fishing lakes, graded three stars by the tourism board.

 

Large lounge/kitchen/diner with leather sofa, plus sofa-bed, double bedroom, twin bedroom, walk in shower room and separate wc.  The gîte accommodates 4 people.

 

Fully equipped with gas hob, electric oven, fridge/freezer, dish-washer, washing machine, microwave, kettle, toaster and coffee machine, iron and ironing board, clothes airer, even a hairdryer is provided.   Electric radiators in most rooms, wood-burner for those cooler evenings, a table top fan for the hot summers, UK TV and free wifi are also provided. 


The gîte has a fenced large garden and patio area, overlooking the smaller lake, for watching the sun set, perhaps enjoying a glass of French wine. We provide patio furniture, a parasol, sunbeds and a BBQ. 


We also supply a picnic blanket, we hope you will use it by our lakes.  What can be better than going for a picnic without having to get in the car?

 

Gîte de l'Etang has no steps or stairs, everything is on one level, with wide door-ways and grab bar in the shower.  We also provide an adjustable height shower chair, with arms.
