Host profile image
Belgian family of a company executive in Germany, La Retardière has been our refuge to relax with our 5 kids all around. The region is offering many witnesses of the long french history and that has suit us. We have steadely renewed and refurbished the mansion. We have always feel good there.

Why they chose this property

Since 23 years it was our holiday house. It has been completely refurbished to be able to gather the whole family and their friends. Today the kids are adults and they live far away. To insure that the property is constantly maintained we have decided to rent it instead of leave it empty. The big families which come to spend their holidays are are delighted by the pool, the terrasses, the garden, the 46" LED TV and the Wifi.

What makes this property unique

18000sqm of parc and grass. A large pool. A ceder tree which gives some pleasant shadow by having a nap. a large terrasse to spend unforgetable dinners...
From the 1st of october on, the house is heated.
