Description

Set in a peaceful and tranquil position, but less than an hours drive from the airport at La Rochelle or 1hr15 from Bordeaux, this gite is in the grounds of an historic chateau.

Built of stone the accommodation stays cool in the summer and is very cosy in the winter having the benefit of two log burners, radiators in the main rooms and underfloor heating in the bathroom. The gite is very spacious, 75m2, and sleeps 2 people . There is a large double bedroom , kitchen and beautiful vaulted living room. There is also a modern bathroom with large shower cubicle and double basin. You can enjoy a private terrace and also have sole use of the large walled garden.

There are walking routes close by, an equestrian centre within walking distance and a golf course a 5 minute drive away. We have bicycles which can be used to go slightly further afield, maybe to visit the famous stone carvings at Port d'envaux, where it is also a popular spot for river swimming and the hire of kayaks and small boats. We are close to the Roman town of Saintes with historic sites, including the Roman ampitheatre, Arc germanicus, Abbaye au Dames and the Cathedral of St Pierre. The old town and the river are very picturesque with an abundance of bars, restaurants and shops. There is even a small animal enclosure in the town park which has music events in the summer and a christmas market every year.

We live and work at the chateau and enjoy working in the grounds and vegetable garden. We have two miniature sheep and free range hens, which keep us and our guests supplied with eggs (subject to availability!).Within 40 minutes you can reach the main beach at Royan, with many other smaller beaches along the coast line. La Rochelle with its picturesque port and airport is 1 hr away. There are many lovely villages to visit close by and a huge choice of chateaux open to the public. There are plenty of walks around our local area through sunflower, corn fields and woods.

If you are coming by car we are only 10 mins from the A10.

Great place to explore the inland and coast of Charente-Maritime

By Ute,De on 15-Aug-2024

There was a warm welcome when we arrived and Susan and her partner had been great hosts. Thank you so much for the eggs, the wine and more. We really had an amazing time in this wonderful gite. It was very comfortable, a great mixture of modern equipment and historical furniture. We really liked watching the hens and the sheep. We discovered wonderful places along the river Charente and also the coast can easily be reached by car. all was wonderful

Very nice accommodation, comfortable and spacious, the restoration of this old building is very new and well done. All facilities are good. The environment is peaceful and relaxing. Our hosts are particularly charming and generous: chicken eggs, bottle of good wine, biscuits, coffee... and their remarkable kindness. We really recommend.

The facilities are very good.
