Gites That Think They are Hotels
The Perfect Place to Relax and Unwind
One, 2, 3 and 4 Bedroom Gites (sleeps up to 20)
|
|
Set in the heart of the Cognac region and surrounded on all sides by the vines of the 'Grande Champagne', this former cognac distillery offers you the highest standard of accommodation and service. Each of the 4 properties is independent with a private terrace but all share the wonderful landscaped gardens, BBQ areas, parkland, pool and games room. Each property has an individual style and retains a wealth of original features such as exposed beams and stonework. L'Ancienne Distillerie sits on the edge of a small hamlet but is still only 2km away from the shops, 10 mins from the bars and restaurants of Cognac town and 45 mins from the coast.

Guest comments
In more than 20 years of holidaying in France we have found this house to be the best equipped, most spotlessly clean one ever and the owners the most considerate and thoughtful. We have had a wonderful week which has gone all too quickly. We will recommend you to friends with no hesitation and will miss the peace and quiet, the beautiful gardens and the swifts dipping down over the pool (Aug 2009)
Your development of L'Ancienne Distillerie is a masterpiece of practicality, comfort and elegance. We have holidayed in gites and villas in Cyprus, Spain, Italy, Mauritius, France and Majorca and only one 14th century villa was comparable. We will never forget our stay with you. (July 2009)
I knew I wanted to come back the moment I arrived! (June 2009)
What a wonderful place, perfect in every way. Jacky and Neville work their socks off! We look forward to our next holiday here. (Aug 2008).
