With its double bedroom and a children’s bedroom with bunk beds and an additional ‘drawer’ bed this gîte can sleep up to five – two adults and three children. If necessary a cot can be installed in place of the third bed. It has a private garden area with fruit trees on land facing the heated swimming pool.

Although recently renovated l'Hibou retains the character of the old alongside the practicality of the new.  Like the Chouette it boasts a range of character features - original Tuffeau stone fireplace and antique hardwood beams throughout, lime-mortared stone walls, Loire curved window and door frames - but we have also retained its original 250 year old terra cotta tiled floor on the ground floor and it has a beautiful antique cast-iron log burning stove. While the Chouette has a soft, romantic atmosphere L'Hibou, decorated with primary colours, has a more rustic feel.

It has a large open-plan living/dining area downstairs with a built-in corner kitchen. At the top of the open wooden staircase you will find one double bedroom, one bedroom with a bunk bed plus additional drawer bed and a modern shower room with WC.
