About this cottage rental
La Menagerie is a 18th century wine-maker’s house, set on two floors (approximately 2045 square feet).
The main cottage can accommodate up to six adults in three bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are on the ground floor. One --sometimes referred as the Master's BR-- has a queen size bed and the other one features twin beds. A full bathroom with WC, shower is available on that same floor, plus a separate WC in a powder room.
The third bedroom, under the rooftop upstairs, is en suite with a library and desk on one side, and a full bathroom with bathtub/shower and separate WC on the other side. A family room with large sofas, flat smart TV and sound system is also available upstairs.
In case you would have to add two more guests for your family and siblings reunion there is a side/self standing charming cottage next to this main cottage on the same courtyard, overlooking the pool and deck. The "Other Cottage" has a veranda/breakfast nook, a fully equipped kitchen, full bathroom and a bedroom/living room with a full size bed that can accommodate two guests in comfort. And In case you would need one more bedroom for a couple (that is up to a total of 4 guests in the "Other Cottage"), a large bedroom that connects with the ground floor unit through an indoor staircase can also be rented-out.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Le Menagerie; lovely location and great walks within the area. Nice to have various different areas around the property for sitting and eating/chilling etc depending on the time of day.

The house and outside areas look really nice. The inside looks great as well. Spacious but cozy, very well stocked with anything you need for cooking. Unfortunately we had terrible weather, but would have been a great house to spend a week outside in the sun with the nice pool, pétanque and volleyball court, and BBQ area. It’s also very quiet and secluded. Great place to relax :) only (very small) remark we have is that the information we got about the area was a bit outdated (markets on certain days, and a walking route not existing anymore). All in all, highly recommend!

6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2023
The house was beautiful, well equipped with sports equipment and well located. Unfortunately there were undisclosed conditions, eg check in only before 7pm which was impossible for us given our travel plans, pool heating charge, dog charge and a deduction from our cash deposit due to the house being left dirty (reasons given being towels left on the bathroom floor at the end by the children and DVDs left out of order). The owner claimed these terms were all in "the contract" but when I found the "Standard Conditions" doc in my emails they were not, nor were they included in the property listing on Vrbo. This all left a rather unpleasant taste, unfortunately.
