Maison Landes

Description

You won't find a better welcome to the heart of Aquitaine than Maison Landes. This charming property, located near Aquitaine's vineyards, is surrounded by lush countryside and perched on a hill at the foot of a 15th Century church.

The large central building (also dating from the 15th century) contains the well-appointed living room, six bedrooms and five bath or shower rooms.

The property encloses a central flowered courtyard, with the garden overlooking the church perfect for lounging and enjoying the local views - patio furniture comes as standard for this very purpose!
And when the night draws in, it's time to enjoy Maison Landes' interior, which includes a large library room, a TV lounge complete with DVD player, a dining room with a large family table and a fully fitted kitchen.
