Beautifully refurbished, 'La Grange' and 'Le Pigeonnier' have a private pool, sunny terraces and a secure, secluded garden with tall hedge. Wake up to the glorious views across the Val de Dronne from the tastefully designed 'Sleigh Bed' room, or any of the other 5 recently upgraded bedrooms in the property. Enjoy gentle strolls or cycle rides in the quiet lanes. For the more adventurous, hire a canoe - explore the scenic water route to Brantome. Our information pack will provide full details. English satellite TV and a good selection of films and music will provide entertainment when required. For evenings out, no-one could resist the local cuisine. Relax in the sumptuous soft furnishings of our 2 living rooms, or rest in a sun lounger with a good book, take a dip and then later in the day, BBQ at the poolside. The hamlet of La Germanie hosts just 5 properties, set in a backdrop of ripened sunflowers and undulating countryside, that ensures peace and quiet will prevail for your stay.
