The Voltaire, located in the centre of Airvault, has 5 large individually styled and furnished double and twin bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. The emphasis of ‘the Voltaire` is that you have an enjoyable and comfortable stay with us whether it is for 1 night, a couple of days, a week or more. The benefit from the ‘soft` air and comfort of The Voltaire has resulted in guests sleeping for longer than they expected! As a result of this breakfast can be served as late as 11.30am.

There is plenty of communal space for you to relax in, including a sitting room and library with a selection of books and board games.  Breakfast is served either in the dining room or, weather permitting, in the garden.    

In this idyllic and unspoilt part of France we benefit from very high annual sunshine levels, second only to the Côte d’Azur, and the added beauty of being in the heart of the largest sunflower growing region in France.  

Being in the centre of a rural village, most amenities are available within a short walk, including  bakeries, butchers shops, restaurants (the closest of which is next door)and bars, banks (with cash machines), a chemist and much more. There is a market every Saturday morning selling local produce and even a beautician for those who may want a little extra pampering.

Several leisure activities are available within the village, including an outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts and cycle routes.  Stunning walks around the village provide an opportunity to appreciate this picturesque area and it’s architecture – some dating back to the 9th Century – while the nearby countryside, with the River Thouet running through it, allows a more tranquil opportunity to take in the wide variety of flora and fauna. We have a couple of adult bikes that you can borrow. Further afield there are plenty of other activities to occupy visitors of all ages – please see our website section for more information.
