Further details indoors:
The kitchen and dining room
Downstairs is the entrance hall, extending to the rear of the house with its tiled floor, exposed wooden beams and original niches. At the end of the hallway there is a bathroom with a bath with shower, hand basin and WC. There is always plenty of hot water.
Leading from the downstairs hallway is the fully fitted kitchen/dining room, which features exposed wooden beams and floor tiles. The room easily accommodates a family-sized dining table and chairs.
The living room
The comfortable living room also boasts original exposed wooden beams, tiled floor, several rugs, comfortable sofa and relaxing armchairs. Upstairs leads to a spacious landing and hallway with storage space.
Main double bedroom
The main bedroom, which is surprisingly large, is furnished with a double bed (140cms wide), bedside tables, a generous wardrobe and a full set of drawers. There are two windows plus a Velux window.
The twin bedrooms
Bedrooms two and three have twin beds, bedside tables and lamps, with ample storage.
At the end of the hallway is a shower room with Jacuzzi-type shower and hand basin. Also leading from the upstairs hallway is a separate WC with wash basin.
Further details outdoors:
The pool area is perfectly situated for all day sunshine and far enough from the gîtes so as not to disturb the other residents. There are plenty of loungers and chairs to spread out over the extensive patio. For your safety, the heated pool conforms to French safety regulations and has an alarm.
The Hot Tub is available when the pool is not in commission.
There is an area for a quiet game of boules or a game of table tennis.
We have a salle de jour, which can be used by all visitors and has the DVD, video and book library and a Home Cinema. It would make an ideal venue for a party or conference for those who would like to book the whole complex.

The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Charente Maritime region
Charente-Maritime is situated on the southwest coast of France and is part of the larger Poitou-Charantes region. It enjoys long hot summers and very mild winters which are so necessary for the production of fine grapes used to make the wonderful wines and Cognac. It is known locally as the 'western Mediterranean' and enjoys the second highest number of sunshine hours in France (after the Cote D’Azur).
The Aulnay area
The combination of the words "Charente" and "Maritime" help to capture the magic of this department – producing as it does the best from the land with the Cognac grapes, cereal crops and fields of sunflowers – and the best from the ocean with the oysters, mussels and fish. Located with the Atlantic to the west of its 150 mile coastline, the Vendee and Deux-Sevres to the north, the Dordogne to the east and the Gironde to the south, the Charente-Maritime is a magnificent and exceptional part of France.
