Le Manoir de la Berthière

Just outside Angers, come and discover the Manoir de la Berthière, set in a charming 13th and 17th century residence. You'll enjoy the atmosphere of a château, but with all the comforts of the 21st century. It has been restored in the spirit of Monuments Historiques, combining local materials: tufa stone, slate and terracotta tiles. Situated in the Anjou countryside, in the middle of a hectare of natural parkland, planted with trees and flowers, the gîte is a haven for birds and squirrels. On the first floor, the gîte comprises a living-dining room with a tufa stone fireplace ideal for winter days (wood provided), a large fully-equipped kitchen (oven, microwave, induction hob, etc.), a bedroom with a 140x190cm double bed and a wooden cot, and a shower room with separate shower and toilet. Upstairs, you'll find a relaxing lounge with a library, French billiards table and table soccer. Located in the manor's tower, the second bedroom has two single beds (90x190cm) and the third a double bed (140x190cm). A second bathroom with shower and WC is also located upstairs. Outside, you'll enjoy garden furniture, deckchairs, a gas plancha, a pétanque court and parking. You'll also have the chance to meet animals such as ponies, sheep, rabbits and ducks. For families with children, the gîte has a swing and baby equipment (high chair, bathtub, changing table, cot). During your stay, you can walk or cycle from the gîte along a number of trails, and swim in the Loir at the supervised beach (July-August) in Villevêque, 5 km away. Angers is only 15 km away.
