Une maison adapté aux groupes
Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable. Le lieu se prête parfaitement pour des vacances reposantes. Nous étions 10 amis d'une trentaine d'années et nous avions chacun notre espace. Il y un billard, une table de poker et plein de jeux. Tout est fait pour passer un super séjour !

Maison très agréable
La maison est très agréable et particulièrement l'espace extérieur avec piscine. Nous avons passé un séjour entre amis très reposant. Le village est petit mais très mignon et il y a beaucoup de choses à visiter dans le coin en voiture.

Un beau séjour à Serviès-en-Val
Notre séjour s'est très bien déroulé, nous étions un groupe de 12 amis et nous avons apprécié le manoir et ses environs. Les habitants du village étaient tous très acceuillant et respectueux, le petit marché nocturne du mercredi nous a offert ses merveilles (bon vins et saucissons locaux)

Why they chose this property

The house was a complete ruin when we first found it. We fell in love with it straight away as it still retained its original old features. It took us 7 long years to completely rebuild. A complete labour of love!
Last year we spent 9 weeks there in total but with school holidays dictating otherwise we then decided to rent it out .
We would rather quality than quantity though and would look to eventually have just repeat bookers who like us love the place.

What makes this property unique

A much loved family home, with accompanying family comforts, included a heated pool contained in a separate walled garden with luxury summer kitchen and large BBQ area.
Roof terrace off sun room for escapism.
Outdoor terrace area with pergola .
Self-sufficient village with grocery shop, boucherie, boulangerie , cellar , pub and restaurant .
Escapism with good food and wine on your doorstep.
