Welcome to Domaine de Pessel Holiday Cottages

Pretty 1 bedroomed cottage at Domaine de Pessel Holiday Cottages

Petit Pessel – Romantic hideaway amidst trees & flowers

*5/5

Charming gite in peaceful countryside

The owners, Alan and Christine, were very welcoming on arrival setting the tone for our stay. The property was spotlessly clean, and thoughtful details included such as wine, milk, butter, bread and orange juice, tea and coffee, and olive oil, garlic and herbs for cooking. Pessel is very peaceful and is surrounded by beautiful woodland, so perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. We didn’t need to venture far from the gite to see pine martins, deer, hoopoe, black kites, fire crests, short toed eagles and too many species of butterfly to list. Alan and Christine were very helpful and charming and I wouldn’t hestitate to recommend Pessel to any nature lovers wanting to get away from it all.

The lane leading to Pessel

In a peaceful setting at the end of a secluded, tree-lined lane, Domaine de Pessel, the estate where our holiday cottages are situated is surrounded by over 60 acres of delightful grounds, consisting of lawns, a walnut grove, meadows, wild flowers, a stream and unspoilt woodland, including acacia and sweet chestnut trees and succulent figs in season. There is abundant wildlife ranging from deer, wild boar and red squirrels to stunning birds such as golden orioles and hoopoes, and in season, many colourful butterflies, and an array of wild orchids and lush ferns.
