A kingfisher darts across the lake as you sit on the terrace in the afternoon sun listening to the murmuring of the stream. The flash of blue shows up against the green of woods and meadow. Absolute tranquility and peace. Behind you is the impressive 4 metre high dining room kitchen of this beautifully renovated property.

Yet ten minutes' walk takes you to the village facilities of Moussac-sur-Vienne. L'Isle Jourdain or Lussac-les Chateaux are a short drive away, for restaurants, supermarkets or market days. Poitiers aiport is less than an hour's drive; Limoges airport just over an hour.
