Property

Description

This is a world of sunflower fields, vineyards and farmhouses of golden Charentaise stone framed against the blue skyline. Every guest is afforded special attention at this beautifully restored farmhouse providing luxurious accommodation for your holiday. From treasure hunts and pizza-making and a brand new Wendy house for the tiny tots to the truly delicious 4 course organic menus on offer, this enchanting property has something for everyone. Little ones will love the region's sweet Charentaise melon and the oysters and mussels from the Marennes-Oléron are simply the best.
Relax by the stunning heated pool in the tranquil surroundings, help yourself to the organic vegetable and herb garden whilst your little ones delight in collecting the eggs or why not have bicycles delivered to your gite (complete with child seats or baby trailers) and explore the beautiful countryside?
