House with Private Pool
Beautiful Historic Village Location
Sleeps 9 (5 Bedrooms)
|
|
This traditional stone property is full of character and has been recently re-decorated and tastefully furnished. The house is well-equipped and has a shady barbecue area for outdoor dining. It is situated on the edge of a charming historic village and is within 10 minutes walk of the centre with stunning chateau and market place. Villebois Lavalette has an excellent restaurant as well as a pizzeria and bars. There are 2 good boulangeries and a great boucherie/charcuterie. The location is ideal for exploring the Charente and Dordogne area. It is within easy reach of Brantome, the 'Venice of Perigord' and Aubeterre, officially recognised as one of France's most beautiful villages with its amazing Monolithic church and riverside beach. Both these places offer canoe hire. A little further afield but still within easy reach is the stunning town of St Emilion and all the famous Bordeaux vineyards. The town of Cognac is also nearby.

Owner profile
About the owner

Year purchased: 2008
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We chose to buy a property in this area because of the easy accessibility, the glorious summer weather and the beauty of the surrounding countryside and villages. Although there are a few English people living in the Villebois Lavalette, this is predominantly a French village with all the traditional characteristics that you would expect. The area is quite sleepy out of season but becomes a little more lively in the summer. There are sometimes special events on at the chateau such as a village barbecue and firework party.
