| Detail |
Set in 5 acres, reached by a winding farm track through woods, surrounded by farm land, La "GRANGE FROUMIGUE", an 18th century farm, has spectacular views of the St. Germain Plateau and over the peaceful valley below. The first structure you encounter is the 18th century barn, which has been lovingly restored, retaining the character of the old building- oak beams, rough-hewn stone walls, the original barn doors - yet offering all the comforts of modern living - traditional French style. In addition, the kitchen is fully-equipped; dishwasher, washing machine, fridge/freezer, full-sized electric cooker and microwave are at your disposal. Moreover, "La GRANGE FROUMIGUE" has a modern, newly renovated bathroom with large shower. For convenience sake, the toilets are separated. Furthermore, we offer garden furniture, table tennis and badminton equipment, as well as a barbecue to cook in a traditional French Mediterranean way. There is also TV/VCR, (French channels only). And we are connected to broadband. T E S T I M O N I A L S 2008 “The best holiday ever” quoting Emma – “truly memorable 2 weeks – far too short - so many interesting places to see, what a wonderful gite, pool, view and incredible hosts” - “I have learnt the art of relaxing – it has been absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much” –Jonathan “Thank you for your kind hospitality – We have had a great week with highlights being the pool, the ice cream and restaurant in Penne, the children are desperate to come back soon and we will think about you on cold wet nights in Scotland.” Hilary and family “What can someone expect of a splendid holiday? A charmingly restored old Barn? A large swimming pool overlooking the valley on 3 sides? A nicely maintained lawn for sunbathing and badminton? Plenty of typical French villages nearby for the ‘aperitif’? Well, all of that we found at ‘Froumigue’ together wit the most friendly hosts + Monty (Labrador) Really a place to recommend!” Kristel and family (Belgium) “Merveilleux séjour dans une région superbe – Merci à Alex et Rosemarie pour votre acceuil chaleureux – nous ne vous oublions pas. Gros bisous a Monty et Loustic (cheval)" Florence et famille (France) “Merci d’être dans un endroit aussi ‘magique’, mais aussi de votre sympathie toujours aussi agreeable” – Vive Froumigue!" Gaelle et famille “Rosemarie, Alex, Monty (labrador), Loustic (horse) and Agatha (cat)- - It’s Friday evening and the sun is still shining, the perfect end to a most wonderful 2 weeks. We have canoed, climbed trees , went go-carting, wandered around the beautiful gardens at ‘Manoir d’Eurignac’ – thank you so much Rosemarie and Alex for your kindness and interesting conversation. You made us laugh a lot. We have had a thoroughly enjoyable time – the restaurants – the ‘marché nocturne’ in Pujos – barbecuing at home won’t be the same – we will miss you all!” Karen and family, Buckinghamshire |
