About the home

Enjoy a relaxing family holiday in a rural setting. In the large enclosed grounds you can sit and enjoy the local aperitif, Pineau de Charente, under the shady pergola. This is the ideal spot for alfresco dining. For the children there are swings, a 12ft splash pool and plenty of room to run around and play. This is a great base for walking and cycling across the country trails and through the forests. Here you might spot some of the local wildlife including deer, wild boar, red squirrel, and a variety of birds, including the hoopoo, shrike and buzzard. A short drive takes you to Brioux with shops and a little further to Melle with a variety of excellent restaurants, large supermarkets and a silver mine.
