Le Pigeonnier
This former winemaker’s house, of the local Domain Georges Guerin, was
built at the end of the 19th Century.
It retains several ‘Art Nouveau’ elements and having been recently and
lovingly renovated with much style and taste, it is now a fully equipped 2
bedroom holiday home.
With many of the original features, charm, character and furniture you
will find a large open plan main room, with stylish kitchen where you can
prepare your traditional gourmet dinners using local produce found at the
markets in the region.
There is an original open fireplace with a black marble surround and
comfortable chairs to while away lazy mornings or evenings. A dining area
with table, 6 chairs and a little balcony where you can sit and enjoy your
café and croissants in the morning, overlooking the village vineyards. A
TV and music corner with DVD , CD and tape players, and 100’s of TV and
radio channels to choose from (there are 3 satellite receivers), with
further armchairs, and WiFi internet access completes the main room.
The master bedroom with kingsize bed, antique furniture, and wooden
floorboards also has views over the village, and pretty courtyard.
The cosy second bedroom is furnished with twin beds, antique furniture and
wooden floorboards.
There’s a comfortable bathroom with bath, shower over, large sink, storage
and WC.
The property benefits from an oil fired central heating system and
radiators.
Kitchen facilities include:
Electric oven and gas hob
Extractor
Dishwasher
Microwave
Mini oven (perfect for warming those croissants through!)
Toaster
Coffee machine and espresso machine
Fridge (fridge freezer in cave too)
Triple sink
Washing machine in rear corridor
Outside
You arrive at the walled courtyard and double gates. There is ample
parking for 2 cars here in the courtyard. An original
well has been turned into a pretty fountain feature.
Wide steps lead to the upper garden and outdoor dining area. A wooden
table and 6 chairs under metal framed gazebo with BBQ
provide the perfect ambiance for al-fresco dining. A wood store can be
found by the back door – wood supplied for those cooler summer evenings
The garden is fully enclosed and has many flower and shrub borders.
At the rear of the property you will see the Pigeonnier – yet to be
restored. And in 2008 there will also be a swimming pool and a sauna with shower.
