About the home

The house is large, private and welcoming, with great outdoor facilities for alfresco dining, and swimming in the large pool (which can be covered for safety), playing football on the large lawn area with swings for the kids,and your very own vegetable garden. The gardens are well maintained and there is plenty of space to enjoy.

The view of the River Vienne and the 14th century Chateau at Ste Germaine are truly like a picture postcard. They make the perfect backdrop for a wonderful glass of the local wine on the terrace in the sunshine. All amenities are at hand and the house is well situated for trips out to enjoy the local countryside, tourist attractions and the large towns of Poitiers, Limoges and Angouleme for shopping.

“amazing, relaxing , brilliant fun for all the family” we holidayed in this beautiful part of France in August 1010, when we arrived at the house we were blown away with the property and the swimming pool is amazing. The house is very spacious and has everything you could possibly want in a holiday home, the pool is large and the children and ourselves just loved spending many a relaxing day sunbathing and cooling down around it. The view overlooking the castle and river is out of this world especially when all lite up at night. The village of Confolens as everything you could need and my husband especially liked the 5 min walk to the local tabac in the evening. Unfortunately we tried to book our 2011 holiday here but the house was already booked, but luckily we have booked for 2012. would highly reccommend this wonderful home for anyone wanting a good holiday. many thanks Tracey for creating some wonderful memories for us and heres to creating more in 2012 The Gray Family
