Description

A stay at Maison du Moulin will offer you the opportunity to enjoy the character and beauty of a traditional maison charentaise with exposed stone, beams and stone fireplaces, alongside the luxury of contemporary living. The house is situated in rural countryside, surrounded by vines and farm land and a 5 mins walk along the road from the small village of Rioux, which offers a shop/bar, butchers/delicatessen, playground, church, and a small weekly market. The house is set back from the road which has passing traffic from cyclists to combine harvesters!

From the road, the house is reached through gates with parking for several cars and a covered ‘hangar’ for two cars or football/table tennis on a rainy day! The enclosed lawned gardens are surrounded by walls/hedges and extend to the front, side and rear and include a wide selection of fruit trees, mature trees, flower beds, a pond and a well.
The terrace faces the side/rear garden and is ideally located off the kitchen and is a great sun trap, it’s furnished with a large table/chairs, shade is provided by a retractable awning, umbrellas and the many trees in the garden. There is a built-in BBQ.
Further seating and sun loungers can be found round the heated 10m x 5m salt-water/low chorine pool (designed to be gentler on eyes/skin), with three steps and a graduated slope to 1.5m deep end.
There are several stone outbuildings, one being an old windmill – ‘moulin’.
A variety of games and equipment are available (pool table, table tennis table, badminton, boules, cricket bat/balls...). There is also a village play/games area across the road which guests can use.

On the left of the large entrance hall is the sitting room - TV/DVD, sofas, exposed stone, beams, stone fireplace and double doors to the rear terrace and windows to the front. Opposite is the dining room - large wooden table/seating for 8, exposed stone, beams, stone fireplace, windows to the front, leading through to the fitted kitchen. From there, onto the indoor games room - WC and laundry room - washing machine, ironing board/iron, clothes airer, plus exterior clothes line.

The bedrooms are reached by wooden stairs with wooden floors & electric fans.
Bedroom 1 – large king bed (160 x 200 cm) and two windows to the front.
Bedroom 2 – large twin beds (105 x 190 cm) and one window to the front.

2024 family holiday

By Megan Griffin on 09-Aug-2024

We had an absolutely amazing holiday at Maison de Moulin. The house is beautiful inside and out, incredibly comfortable and well equipped. The swimming pool and garden are just spectacular, and the indoor games room / pool table were extremely popular with our group of 4 adults and 2 children. It's by far the nicest holiday house any of us have ever stayed in. The location is fantastic too - a village shop/bar only 10 mins walk away, and a short drive to an excellent supermarket. Also only a 30 min drive to some beautiful beaches and not far from La Rochelle and plenty of other attractions - if you can drag yourself away from the house and pool, which we found difficult! I would thoroughly recommend a stay at Maison de Moulin, and we are already planning to return.

Very happy to confirm that it was just as wonderful as we remembered it/ the house and grounds are stunning with a fabulous pool If you're looking for a fantastic property to stay in the beautiful French tranquil countryside, this is the place to go to. We are very pleased to have found this lovely place and would definitely go back to stay there again.
