Country House with Pool
Peaceful Location
Sleeps 8 (4 Bedrooms)
|
|
Where the vines of Bordeaux meet those of Cognac, in the gently rolling hills above the Gironde estuary, our typically ‘Charentaise’ holiday home is waiting to welcome you. Outside, you will find a small garden in front of the house, and behind it a terrace for breakfast with steps leading down to a lawn and then to the pool, (which you will occasionally have to share with us who live just next door). The house is surrounded by fields of sunflowers, corn and of course vineyards. There is so much to discover in this calm and unspoilt part of France that you won’t have time to get bored. The Romanesque churches of Saintonge, fishing ports on the estuary, Blaye and its citadel and then there are all those wines to taste. We are situated only 10 mins drive from exit 37 of the A10 motorway, within easy reach of La Rochelle, Saintes, Cognac and Bordeaux, not forgetting the Atlantic beaches.
