About this property

Secluded gite in the grounds of a chateau with private fishing

The 2 gites of la Lucaziere are located one and a half hours south of the ferry port of Ouistreham and 35 minutes from Le Mans. It is set in its own grounds, along with Grooms cottage, which form part of a 400 acre organic estate with it's chateau, meadows and extensive woodland. The owners of the gite live in the chateau, far enough away to allow you privacy but on hand if required.
The local village of Mont saint Jean is less than 1 km away and has a bar and a small shop as well as a boulangerie. The local area offers many attractions. The lake and beach of Sille le Guillaume is just 5 km from la Lucaziere, there you can enjoy sailing, ,pedalos, pleasure bikes or simply relax at one of the bars with a glass of wine! Nearby, the picturesque village of St Leonard du Bois offers kayaking and superb hiking and cycling routes as well as some lovely restaurants. There are many other beautiful villages in the area to be explored. But if it is peace and tranquillity that you require why not just laze around the heated pool at la Lucaziere, located in the gite gardens.
The spacious gite has 4 bedrooms sleeping 7. On the ground floor there is a well equipped kitchen and dining area, this opens into the sitting room where you can relax and enjoy your favourite uk television channels! A double bedded ground floor bedroom with its own shower, is ideal for guests with limited mobility. A ground floor wc is to be found in the entrance hall.
On the first floor is a twin bedded room, a large family bathroom and separate wc. The second floor has a further double bedroom and a spacious single bedroom.
Outside is a private patio area with garden furniture and barbeque. The garden of the gite opens onto the private woodland of La Lucaziere in which you may be lucky enough to spot the wild deer that live in the grounds of the chateau.
The pool area is fenced for the security of young children. Unlimited fibre optic internet is connected to the Gite.

Très bel endroit mais le ménage et la propreté laisse à désirer. La piscine est pour tout le domaine, dernier jour affreux avec une famille mal élevé Le gîte est partagé en deux donc énorme proximité.

Geweldige vakantie
Weg mooi huis bij een prachtig kasteel midden in een bosrijke omgeving met dus heel veel groen maar ook open en zeer zonnig met ruime schaduw plekken. Naast een prachtig kasteel met ook gasten die gebruik mane van het zwembad. Dit is prima want t is erg groot en er zijn voldoende ligstoelen omheen en enkele parasols. De ruimtes in het huis zijn ruim en erg hoog met dikke muren zodat t voldoende koel blijft. De bovenste verdiepingen hebben ventilatoren maar die hebben we niet nodig gehad terwijl t toch zelfs 1 dag 35 graden was. Voor de kinderen voldoende buiten en ‘binnenspeelgoed. WiFi zou met versterkers zeker beter werken ook bovenste verdieping en bij zwembad. Mooie visvijver in de buurt en een professioneel en gedeeltelijk overdekt voetbal/basketbal veld achter een parkeerplaats dichtbij. Supermarkt is 20 minuten rijden. Wel bakker in plaatsje zelf. Al met al een geweldige week gehad. Thx Anita en Richard !!

Cadre magnifique
Le lieu est très beau, les chambres très confortables. Il manque quelques éléments de vaisselle (un peu juste en couverts et ustensiles). Nous n'avions pas compris que nous aurions des voisins et que le château faisait aussi gîte/ B&B mais ça s'est bien passé de ce côté là. La piscine est top ! et les propriétaires très accueillants

Super "fratrinade"
Le gîte est vraiment beau et bien entretenu, très propre. Nous avons pu visiter la région, profiter de la piscine et même pêcher "no kill" dans l'étang. Nous sommes parti ma sœur et moi avec nos conjoints, notre fils et mamie. Tout était adapté même pour une personne à mobilité réduite. Un super séjour à renouveler.

Mooi en bijzonder vakantiehuis
Het is een mooi vakantiehuis. Het zwembad is super fijn (ook met kouder weer) en leuk dat er ook buitenspeelgoed aanwezig is. Ook de visvijver is goed.

cadre magnifique, calme absolu
L'endroit est idéal pour vivre isolés et profiter de la nature (en cette période d'épidémie, il n'y a rien de mieux pour éviter les contacts). L'hébergement est assez rustique mais confortable, il y manque un certain nombre de choses en ustensiles de cuisine (essoreuse à salade, autocuiseur, petit matériel de tous les jours etc...), et en meubles (aucune chaise dans aucune des chambres par exemple). La piscine est super. Les hôtes sont sympathiques et à l'écoute.

Great relaxing holiday
We are just back from a lovely relaxing break in this beautiful, peaceful area. We didn't need to go far as the pool area was perfect for us and the 4 kids. Anita and Richard were very helpful hosts. Just note that the village bakery is closed on Wednesdays, but it was still a lovely morning walk! Also if you are going to the nearby lake, most activities opened from 2pm.

Wonderful Experience
This is our second time to visit. Anita and Richard are truthfully so kind and accomodating and have two gorgeous dogs. The gites are on the grounds of a Chateau which is breathtaking and so peaceful. You will need a car. The gites are beautifully charming, with such lovely decor and all amenities you could need. We have 3 children and everything I need is there to cook. Bedding and towels are provided which is a huge bonus. The gites also have boardgames, books to read. Small touches that really help with the stay. The gites have access to a fantastic pool that is in such a suntrap we enjoyed many days relaxing whilst the kids wore themselves out. There is a pingpong table and outdoor games to play as a family. A few miles away from the Chateau is a manmade lake and beach which is beautiful to visit. It has a trainride, you can hire bikes. Pony rides, water sports and there is couple of restaurants that we had lunch at whilst there. Well worth a visit. We loved it here and had a truly lovely relaxing week where we spent valuable time with the children. We would highly recommend a visit.

Enjoyable stay in Mont St Jean
We were 7 adults on a singing trip and enjoyed our stay. We were warned that the gîte may be cold in May but the owner was happy for us to bring our own heaters, which we needed. Everything was as seen in the photos- bedding all tasteful and the kitchen was well-equipped. Lovely showers - one of the two available is en-suite. The setting is lovely. We also enjoyed playing pétanque.

Peaceful and secluded location but not too out of the way
Located in the grounds of a beautiful Chateau, the gite was divided into two accommodations. We were given the side of the gite furthest from the chateau. The gite is in a secluded area, nicely furnished and full of character with plenty of space over 3 floors. The downstairs bedroom with shower was perfect for my elderly mother. BBQ and fuel were included and the location allowed deer to wander past your window! Plenty of grounds and woodlands to explore. Anita and Richard were brilliant and friendly hosts. They were most helpful if we required anything or needed information about the local area. Kids loved the pool days that we had. 5 mins drive away there is Sille Plage, an inland lake with its own beach. Great place to spend the day with other water based activities available. A supermarket also within 10 mins in case you need to stock up! For a day out, we took a 2 hour drive to Bioparc Zoo. One of the best zoos we have ever visited! Would highly recommend a stay here.

About the host

Hosted by Anita Harvey

Host profile image
I moved to France in 2001 with my husband and 3 young children. Since then I have worked alongside my husband on our organic suckler cow farm. My son has recently joint us on the farm which has given me the opportunity to renovate our gite, something that I had been wanting to do for a while but had never had the time!. In my spare time I like to make the most of the beautiful countryside in which we live and enjoy horse riding and walking.

Why they chose this property

The Gite is set in grounds of 160 Ha, located in the National park of Normandy Maine. There is lots to do and see including kayaking in the alps mancelle, canoeing in the lake of Sille le Guilliume, acro branch, pédalos, sailing, paintball, pleasure boat, and lots lots more all within a few kilometers

What makes this property unique

Situated in the grounds of a renovated Chateau dating back to the 1300's, there are los of woods to explore, old paths to discover or just relax by the private lakes and maybe try a bit of fishing.
