Description for Gite

Experience a delightful stay at our Stone B&B Cottage in Simply Canvas, where idyllic surroundings and charming natural details await you. Built with beautiful stones from our region, this cottage offers a cozy living room, a small kitchen, and a double bedroom in the mezzanine with a second sitting area. A downstairs bedroom accommodates two children, along with a spacious shower room and toilet. With a total area of approximately 800 square feet, this lovely cottage provides ample space for families or couples. Outside, you can relax on the private terrace with sun chairs or find shade under the plum tree while enjoying the picturesque view over the fields.

Indulge in the comforts of our lovely White B&B Cottage, a beautifully decorated and bright house spanning around 700 square feet. Bask in the afternoon sunshine streaming through the double doors as you relax in the small living room with a small kitchen. The mezzanine boasts a double bedroom, while downstairs you'll find another double bedroom, a separate bathroom, and a separate toilet. Step outside onto the terrace, complete with a couch and chairs, or discover the additional sun bed area tucked behind the house. With access to our expansive 12.5-acre property, you'll have plenty of space to unwind and explore.

If you're seeking luxury and ample space, our Big Holiday Home is the perfect choice. This fully self-catering accommodation was once the "chai" on our property, where wine was produced. After a complete renovation, this spacious and bright 1500-square-foot property will exceed your expectations. The large open space living room and kitchen with a TV and DVD player lead to a stunning veranda surrounded by glass doors, creating the ideal spot to enjoy your morning newspaper. The holiday home also features a private garden with a stone BBQ, outdoor dining table, and sun chairs. Additionally, there is a double bedroom, a separate toilet, and a special room for children, guaranteed to captivate their imagination with their sleeping quarters nestled within the remains of old stone wine barrels.

For those desiring an enchanting and unique experience, our Safari Tents offer a small-scale retreat. Spread over a 1.25-acre field, these six tastefully decorated tents provide slightly different decor and stunning views overlooking the fields. Each tent includes a veranda, privacy, and comfortable beds that we sleep on ourselves. Plus, you'll have the convenience of your own private bathroom just a few steps away.
