This charming and tranquil property sits in the friendly hamlet of Bessé, (only 10 houses), just 2kms. west of the village of St.Léger de Montbrillais - An easy walking / cycling distance through vineyards to a lovely community that boasts not only the usual church, mayor's office / 'salle de fete' and post office, but offers so much more by including a bar / tabac, boucherie, boulangerie and even a coiffeur.
There is also a primary school with local bus transport. Within a few minutes there are two very good restaurants.

Both next door neighbours are award winning 'viticulteurs', (wine producers) who offer wine tastings, and direct sale of their diverse vintages.
