Situated in the centre of a triangle between Niort, Poitiers and Bordeaux, Vanzay offers the best of both worlds – the buzz of beautiful historic regional towns and the peaceful pace of rural France. Surrounded by open countryside but located within the village, La Ferme de l’Eglise is an oasis of tranquility within a step away from fields of sunflowers and corn.

Set in a terrace of 85m² and bathed in sunshine from morning until evening, this in-ground swimming pool uses salt, present in the water in low concentrations, to act as the agent in purifying the water. Perfect for anyone with sensitive skin or eyes where traditionally chlorinated pools may cause irritation. The water is heated and kept at a very comfortable 28ºC – a refreshing diversion from the hot sunshine!

Our third visit and the pool is a fabulous new addition.  Relaxing and chilled out as ever. Thanks for your hospitality

The pool terrace has plenty of shade available beneath the large parasols, recliners to stretch out on and a table and four chairs beneath a parasol at which to sit and enjoy a cold drink from the poolside bar.
