Beautiful holiday accommodation in Limousin...

Welcome to Vacances Vertes les Belles, our beautiful self-catering holiday village house in the rural Limousin region of central France - the "land of a thousand lakes".

We can accommodate up to 14 people within the 6 comfortable bedrooms (5 have private bathrooms).

We are situated in the friendly village of St Germain les Belles, which is surrounded by some of the loveliest countryside in France.

Whether you are looking for an ideal holiday rental for your self-catering group, family or club, or want to experience our stimulating residential courses (all-inclusive holiday packages), you will find this to be the perfect base for a relaxing holiday in France.

This unspoilt region of France is ideal for large families or groups of bird-watchers, artists, canoeists, walkers, cyclists... in fact, anyone who loves being surrounded by nature and wants to enjoy a 'greener holiday'. The owners of Vacances Vertes les Belles, Howard and Anna Chambers, live just a few minutes away at the small-holding of Las Combas and are happy to help you in all aspects of your holiday, from travel arrangements to telling you their favourite places to visit.

Step out of the door and discover everything that our village has to offer - local shops selling fine Limousin produce, restaurants, historic buildings, summer fêtes, markets, the swimming lake and beach. Turn away from the village, and within a few minutes you will find quiet country lanes with wild hedgerows.

Our attractive village gîte has been entirely renovated and furnished to a high standard. The beautiful interior is tasteful and bright, with many original features, stunning oak flooring and original artwork.

We are open all year round. There is central-heating in every room and the double-glazing, wood-burning stove and extra warm bedding will ensure a comfortable stay in the cooler months so that you can enjoy the wealth of activities that the region has to offer in winter.

There is a large private garden and dining terrace, with views out onto open countryside and buttercup meadows.

We welcome disabled guests and consider ourselves to be wheelchair-friendly holiday accommodation - please contact us for further information about our accessible, ground-floor bedroom and private bathroom.
