Description Villa in the Vendee : Le Prieure Ancien is a delightful 14th Century exposed stone priory, situated next to the church in the hamlet of Pressigny in an enclosed garden with vines, fig trees and beautifully maintained lawns and flowerbeds. Furnished with antiques and many objets d' art, this priory retains many of its original features, such as the circular stone staircase, wooden floors and beamed ceilings. The property is non smoking. There are no facilities in Pressigny, but the old church bell still sets the pace with an hourly chime. Life here is relaxed with an emphasis on good food and wine. The area near this charming property is open to exploration, being within striking distance of the Atlantic coast, Poitiers, La Rochelle, the Chateaux of the Loire Valley, or the wine growing regions of the Dordogne. Or if action is what you seek, try a day out at Futuroscope, The owner is a professional chef and would be delighted to prepare meals for parties, on prior request. This charming villa in the Vendee is available all year and can be booked for long weekends off-season! No smoking in this villa.
