Gites Holiday Poitou Charentes - Luxury French Gite with pool in France

Le Retreat is located close to where the gently rolling hills of the Poitou Charente meet the southern part of the Loire–Anjou–Touraine National Park. The peaceful environment makes le retreat ideal for individuals, couples and small groups seeking a relaxing holiday or a long weekend break.

The informal atmosphere at le retreat offers space for solitude as well as communal areas for socialising. There are exercise facilities, a saltwater swimming pool, a detoxifying infra–red sauna, bikes for your use and a screening room–library with films and books to keep you entertained. A separate building with its own walled courtyard garden offers rooms for workshops and group activities as well as therapy rooms for massage and facials.

Le Retreat is set in 50 acres of beautiful countryside and there are extensive tracks for walking, cycling and riding through the forest.

We would like your stay at le retreat to be more than a luxury break from routine and aim to provide a tranquil and hospitable environment where you are free to unwind in a way that suits and is flexible to your needs. We think it is the perfect place for you to take a deep breath, rebalance and focus on your own bien–etre to emerge rejuvenated and revitalised.
