Haute-Vienne, France
Your home in the heart of France
A sun-warmed gite in Haute Vienne, waiting to welcome your family. Step through the gate and let the pace of rural France slow everything down.
The Farmhouse
Stone walls, warm light, and room to breathe
Kinvara Gite is a lovingly restored stone gite with all the character of the French countryside and all the comforts of home. Thick walls keep it cool in summer, and every room tells a story. Entirely self-contained and sleeping up to six guests, it's the kind of place families return to year after year.
The Outdoor Space
Long evenings on the terrace
The private terrace is where the days end slowly — with a glass of local wine, the scent of lavender in the air, and nothing but birdsong and the last of the sun. A shaded dining area, sun loungers, and a garden that feels like it belongs to you alone.
The Location
A gateway to everything beautiful
Perfectly placed in Haute Vienne, Kinvara Gite puts you within easy reach of La Rochelle's old harbour, the vineyards of Bordeaux, and the rolling sunflower fields of central France. Whether you're passing through or staying for a fortnight, this is the ideal base.
Where to find us
Haute-Vienne — France's sun-drenched heartland
Set in the gentle hills of central France, Kinvara Gite sits at the crossroads of some of the country's most beloved destinations. The Atlantic coast, the wine country, and the wild Dordogne are all within a comfortable drive.

We've been coming to Kinvara Gite for three summers now. The children love the garden, we love the terrace, and nobody wants to leave.

Everything felt personal and considered — from the welcome basket to the handwritten notes about local restaurants. It felt like staying with friends.
