Maison Brives is a wonderful former presbytery, built in 1830 during the reign of Napoleon the 2nd. Sleeping up to 6 people in three double en suite bedrooms it makes the perfect, 'tout confort', French holiday retreat. Antique furniture, rugs on the floor, terracotta tiles and a large garden - all these conspire to offer the visitor a warm and inviting French country house experience. A stay at Maison Brives is a chance to re-charge the batteries in a period home full of charm. The salt pool (5M x 8M) is surrounded by south facing lounging area shady garden with barbeque and fantastic views over undulating countryside. The salon has a stone carved chiminee, TV (english and french) HiFi, a piano, DVD and lots of games. Double doors lead to the elegant dining room or one can eat on the 40' stone terrace and see the amazing sunsets. The three large bedrooms all have at least a shower, loo and washbasin and the master bedroom has a Victorian bath. The country kitchen has all mod cons.
