Welcome

Let yourself be seduced by the magic of Maison “La Rapiette”

Situated on an extensive private estate sitting amidst the beautiful rolling landscape of the Poitou-Charentes in Southwest France, this unique holiday villa offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and refined comfort.

Just 730 km from Antwerp and Utrecht—close enough for a comfortable journey, far enough to imagine yourself in another world.

Surrounded by nature and forests, this villa blends completely into nature.

Originally designed by a renowned painter, who was inspired by the special light and the magic of this place.

The region is known for its picturesque villages with local produce and flea markets. As well as historic castles, abbeys, gastronomy, and beautiful walking and cycling routes.

This villa is the ideal destination for families, couples, or groups of friends who want to enjoy themselves together in an exclusive setting.

A villa with space and character

Upon arrival, you are immediately enchanted by the southern charm of the Mediterranean courtyard, the beating heart of this exceptional villa.

A place where long moments at the table, soft summer evenings under a starry sky, and pure relaxation seem like a matter of course. On the authentic grill/barbecue, you can prepare the most delicious dishes to make your holiday feel complete.

With a living area of 320m2, this stylish villa is suitable for up to 8 people to enjoy together in complete comfort.

Atmospheric, spacious living areas, with the large open fireplace as a real eye-catcher. The fully equipped kitchen and comfortable bedrooms were furnished with care to create a warm, stylish, and relaxed atmosphere.

Living to the rhythm of the estate

The villa is surrounded by a 7-hectare private estate where you can walk in peace – a rare luxury.

A babbling stream meanders through the landscape, enhancing the sense of serenity that makes this place so unique. It is the ideal spot for children to go on adventures and romp around to their heart’s content.

On the estate, there is a fishing pond fed by a natural spring where you can cast a line, or simply relax by the pool with a good book.

From playing to long evenings together… memories are made here.

What our previous guests have to say........

A beautiful, spacious holiday home surrounded by nature, perfect for unwinding completely.
Cosy and tastefully decorated. Spotlessly clean both inside and out.
Plenty of opportunities for walks and day trips, such as:
the Circuit du Val de Vienne, the viaduct at Le Vigeant, and Parc Envol, which features a zip line for the more adventurous
We can highly recommend this spacious holiday home!

We really enjoyed our stay!

We give an 11/10 😊

We enjoyed our stay immensely! The house is super well maintained and very spacious, which immediately gives a feeling of comfort and luxury. The open stove gave an extra cozy touch in the evening.

Outside is also just enjoyment; A large, beautiful domain with swimming pool where everything is in perfect order.

You can tell from everything that the gîte and garden are maintained with great care!

The location is wonderfully quiet, but at the same time the environment has positively surprised us. Everything is neat and tidy and there are nice walks that you can start directly from the gîte. Nearby you will also find a cozy restaurant, and for families with children there is a nice amusement park on the river Vienne.

In short, highly recommended for those looking for peace, comfort and a beautiful green environment!

Once again we have been able to stay with you again.
You can be very brief about Maison La Rapiette.
All it takes is one word: Top!!
Veronique and Kurt guide their customers through the house and the domain with so much passion that you immediately feel at home there.
Maison La Rapiette is perfect to spend a week in absolute tranquility.
Everything is there for cooking, resting, swimming, walking and cycling.
It is located in the typical French village of Payroux between the kilometers of sunflower fields.
The bakery is a short 10-minute drive away.
A large store where you can literally find everything is twenty minutes away.
Every Tuesday and Friday there is a small cozy market in the village of Civray at 25 minutes.
If you want to visit a larger city, Limoges is definitely recommended.
What you should also visit is the village of Ouradour sur Glane, destroyed during WW2. To make you very quiet.
There is room for 8 people.
We drove there from the Kempen in two days via Ypres and the French coast.
But you can get there in just under eight hours via Paris.
 
Thank you Veronique and Kurt for this fantastic stay. We will definitely be back.
