THE HOUSE
2 double king bedrooms, ensuite
1 twin/double bedroom, ensuite
1 kids bedroom and playroom in the tower (sleeps 2)
The house itself is stone with wooden beams and French doors leading out to a large wooden deck that provides a wonderful shaded entertaining area. This leads from the kitchen/dining room which in turn opens to the large comfortable drawing room.
Leading off the drawing room is another lovely room that acts as a library or office, with a desk and a chair and printer etc. It’s perfect for anyone who needs to get away quietly to do a bit of work or make a phone call during their holiday to make sure their company hasn’t collapsed without them. There is fast wi-fi all around the property kindly provided by Elon Musk.
In the main house there are two double bedrooms, and a room with two large single beds but which could be double beds for two pairs of honeymooners. All rooms are ensuite. In the tower there is a small kid’s room with two beds, and a sort of little playroom up above with a TV.
HOME OFFICE
Across the courtyard there is a single storey building with ground floor double bedroom next to a twin and a playroom. Ideal for a family or perhaps older people who just don’t like stairs anymore.

THE COURTYARD
COURTYARD
The pool house houses a double bedroom ensuite upstairs and a twin room at the back. There is a kitchen but it’s really a sort of smart bar with fridges for cold beers, an icemaker and dishwasher. The main room is an area that opens to the pool with sliding glass doors. It has a large TV and sofas for lounging around, with quite a Californian ‘inside-outside’ vibe.

COMFORTABLE DRAWING ROOM
"We had the best time at Jean Michaud - The owner and his team were wonderful and the house ticked all the boxes. Everything was well explained and lots of tips of places to visit. Nothing was too much to ask and the owner so helpful.
Extremely comfy beds and the house was immaculate. Lovely Maureen came in midweek to clean which was great as we had a full house - we then also used her and her lovely daughter to babysit one evening.
The setting is beautiful with a lovely salt water pool and tennis court! So much space it was perfect for 3x families!
We want to come back every year!!
Thank you all so much - it was such a highlight of our summer and hopefully many more to come!"

COVID REFURB.
Jean Michaud was lived in through much of COVID and the opportunity was taken to extensively refurbish the whole property; a new heated salt-water pool was made along with new patios and fully restored pool house. The whole property has been redecorated including new carpets and curtains.
TENNIS COURT
Early morning or in the twilight hours of a hot day there is nothing quite like a game of tennis.
And it is on courts like this one that budding players learn to love this fantastic sport. Before, of course, a refreshing swim in the pool.
