The Gîtes
Maison de la Famille owns three Gîtes, all tastefully refurbished and furnished. Each Gîte is fully equipped for a self-catering holiday with gas oven, microwave oven, all kitchen utensils, dining equipment, refrigerator/freezer, television with DVD/CD/MP3 player and of course all furniture and extremely comfortable beds. In short, everything is provided for the holiday maker except food and clothing.
The Gîtes comprise what were orginally the servants quarters of the property - as such, they are rather more comfortably appointed than the average "farm labourer" cottage;
