Property description
Le Camélia: This is the last jewel in our crown, once an atelier for cider making - your perfect holiday home now. Completely renovated but with many original features left in place like oak beams, exposed stone walls and not a regular right angle to be seen. This building is truly unique in shape (a challenging renovation) and ambiance but we hope you will be as charmed by its quirkiness as we are. Enter by the porch made from the salvaged timbers of the cider press into the lovely light spacious open plan living area. It is tiled throughout the ground floor, with windows onto the garden and also onto the fields at the front of the property. With a large comfy sofa and an equally comfy 3 seater sofa bed, an armchair, rug, coffe table and a large woodburner very original wrought iron table and chairs and a fully equipped kitchen area all add up to a home away from home. There is also a shower room and WC on this floor as well as a handy broom cupboard. Upstairs there is a large window overlooking the garden, a spacious double bedroom with wardrobe, set of drawers with vanity mirror, two bedside tables and lamps and a wicker chair. Plenty of space for a cot or a folding bed. The twin room is further along and contains two single beds each with bedside tables and lights and an ornamental clothes rail with shelves, there is also room for a folding bed. There is also another independant shower room and WC on this floor. Exposed stone walls and old oak beams can be seen throughout. Ouside is a private patio with picnic table, parasol, BBQ and sun loungers.
Les Quatre Cles is situated on a quiet country lane, surrounded on 3 sides by fields and a neighbour's (very quiet family) drive on the 4th. Our drive ends in a large parking bay on the right and the longere on the left, you can drive up to the door to unload your car. The play field is divided in half and the other side is my veggie plot and weather willing I hope to have surplus fresh organic veggies to sell to my guests.
Rates are fully inclusive of all utilities, bedding, linen, towels (if requested) tea towels and a comprehensive supply of cleaning and other sundry goods such as loo rolls, bin bags, kitchen towels, detergent & fabric softener, washing up liquid as well as cooking & olive oils and condiments.

Additional information
Guemene Penfao is on the river Don and there is something for everyone; wonderful walks through forests, ancient chateaux, chapels and churches to visit, water sports of every kind, Karting, micralights, aqaujets and a lake with a safe beach area in nearby Plesse, 4 riding stables to suit all abilities, and there many restaurants. Les quatre cles is about a 3 minute drive from the town centre or easily reached on foot along a riverside path in about 15 minutes. Or how about spending a day in Paris, under 3 hours away direct from Redon Station which is only a 15 minute drive away. Rennes, Nantes, Vannes are all within easy reach for day trips. A 45 minute drive leads you to the banks of the river Loire, deep in the heart of the wine growing area around Nantes. Kilometres of sign posted scenic drives around the wine growing areas of Muscadet and Anjou, explore the vineyards whose owners extend a friendly welcome and advice whilst inviting you to taste the wine at their local "caves". Discover the sumptuous Châteaux and ornamental gardens, glorious relics of France's regal past, situated in the vicinity of Angers and Saumur.
Take to the skies in a Micralight from nearby Plesse and see the region from a birds eye view or take a ride in a horse and cart and have a wonderful guided tour of Guemene Penfao. Go to Nantes and see their fantastic new attraction - a huge mechanical elephant you can ride on and a collection of superb weird and wonderful mechanical underwater creatures Jules Verne would be proud of. The newly restored castle is also a 'must see' and good for a whole day's fascinating entertainment. The huge plus in visiting French cities is that parking is easy, accessible and cheap - go for the underground variety and pay as little as €6 for the whole day - NCP take note! It's not so much a question of 'what shall we do on holiday?' as 'how will we manage to do everything we want to in the time?' - Solution - book 3 weeks and/or come back again next year. You'll still find plenty to do and see.
