"Jappeloup" is a luxurious, bright & airy, fully detached, three bedroom cottage/gite with both a bathroom and an en-suite, situated in a private farm setting at the heart of the Cote de Blayais wine region.

Having undergone a complete and thorough renovation, the cottage is surrounded by vineyards and the picturesque countryside of the Gironde, (the Charente region is just a few kilometres away).

A 6m by 12m, free-form swimming pool is at your disposal as are the 9 acres of grounds.

French doors (what else!) lead to a south-facing raised patio area overlooking the garden, play area and swimming pool. A garden table and chairs are available so that meals can be taken alfresco as and when you like.The garden of the cottage is fully enclosed.The free-form swimming pool (shared with the owners) has just been completed, ready for the 2003 season.It is 6 metres by 12 metres with Roman Steps to the side, giving easy access to the shallow end. Parents and non-swimmers should note that it is 1.6 metres at the deepest point. We do not add chlorine to the pool for sterilisation, we use a relatively new technique. A small amount of salt is diluted in the pool water (less than the percentage in a teardrop) and this is then converted into chlorine using electrolysis. This system uses much less chlorine, resulting in fresher water and NO SORE, RED EYES.Sunloungers and a hammock are available for use around the pool and in the interest of safety (and to comply with impending French law) the pool area is fenced, with lockable gates as the only entry points.The rest of the grounds extend to over 9 acres, giving you plenty of room to run, hop, skip, jump, play hide 'n' seek and many other games.For those looking house-hunting in France (either for permanent or holiday homes), we are centrally located to explore the Bordeaux, Gironde, Charente, Medoc & Dordogne regions.All in all Jappeloup is the ideal place for unwinding and relaxing, giving you the chance to "recharge your batteries"!
