Moulin de Tourtoulloux

An idyllic retreat in the French countryside

The moulin comfortably houses four people with a sofa bed in one of the bedrooms to accommodate a fifth. 

Ground floor: You enter the moulin into a comfortable living and dining space ① with a wood stove, leading to a large balcony ② overlooking the river. There is a well equipped kitchen ③ with a stove, oven, dishwasher, a large refrigerator and all the equipment you might need. A small hallway leads to a large bedroom with a double bed and sleeping sofa ④, with an en suite bathroom ⑤.

Top floor: Up a wooden staircase you'll find a landing with a comfortable seating area and a view of the river. Behind a double door lies the second bedroom with two single beds ⑥ and its own en suite bathroom ⑦.

Basement: In the basement is a scullery with a washing machine and dryer ⑧ and a traditional sauna ⑨ for up to 4 people. The remaining wellness area ⑩ is still being developed.

The area is a splendid example of rustic, beautiful French countryside. The nearest village, Saint Martin Chateau, lies a few kilometres away, and aside from a few residences most of the immediate land is covered in fields and dense woods. Though the gîte is perfect for a quiet, secluded getaway there is plenty to do and see in the surrounding area. Tourisme-creuse.com  

We are a 20 minute drive away from Lac de Vassivière. which has a beach perfect for swimming and boating. You can visit places like Aubusson with its beautiful Musee de la Tapisserie or Guéret where there are, amongst other sights, a permanent labyrinth and a wolf park. The picturesque surrounding villages host weekly markets with a wide variety of locally produced foods and goods, for example every Wednesday morning in Bourganeuf and every Friday morning in Felletin. 

The gite is situated in the south-west of the Creuse department, about a 1 hour drive from Limoges. The nearest supermarket is 15 minutes away by car.
