Studio Apartment Update
Work is continuing apace to the Studio despite out frequent returns to the UK. Electrics and plumbing have been installed. We will be ready for our first guests by 11th June 2016.
Simon has completed the plastering and painting of the walls. Well done SIman!! The original stone walls are exposed in places and having been cleaned and regrouted, look amazing. The room is taking on a French cottagy vibe. It should look very pretty when finished.
The wooden floorboards are already laid, although covered for protection and not visible in the photos. I’m looking forward to seeing the floorboards exposed as they should add a further rustic feel.
Simon is beginning the kitchen assembly today, hurrah!
I’ll keep you up to date with progress and post more pics of The Apartment soon. Now that the renovation has reached a more interesting phase there will be lots to see.
For 2016 The Studio can be rented for:
£350 per week 11 June to 15 July
£425 per week 16 July to 26 August
£375 per week 27 August to 23 September
Rental rates for the Studio include full use of the swimming pool and garden area.
The Studio is a one room first floor apartment with an ensuite shower room. An external staircase leads up to a quaint
balcony overlooking the gardens and countryside.
The garden area is great for bbqs or relaxing in the peace and tranquility of the countryside.
The swimming pool is heated and is protected and sheltered by high walls.
There are comfortable loungers for everyone and parasols for sun protection.
A lovely area for taking a dip or relaxing with a good book. We’ve even had a guest knitting at the poolside!
Close to the Chateaux of the Loire. The lovely Chateau at Montreuil Bellay is just 8 miles away.
The lively outdoor antiques market at Montreuil bellay is held on the first Sunday of every month.
